The Brother ADS-3100 is a powerful yet compact sheet-fed scanner that brings fast, duplex scanning, generous media support, and flexible workflow integration into a desktop-friendly footprint. Ideal for small to medium offices, home offices, or satellite sites, it tackles everyday scanning tasks — from client documents, invoices, and contracts to receipts, business cards, and multi-page dossiers — with speed, precision and ease.
Whether you’re digitising contract binders, archiving client files, converting physical records to searchable PDFs, or processing daily paperwork, the ADS-3100 delivers reliable performance and consistent quality — saving time, reducing physical storage, and improving document management.
Fast Duplex Scanning: Up to 40 pages per minute (ppm) (single-sided) and 80 images per minute (ipm) in duplex mode — excellent for high-volume scanning tasks.
Automatic Document Feeder (ADF): 60-sheet ADF to batch-process multi-page documents, reducing manual handling and boosting productivity.
High-Quality Output: Optical resolution up to 600 × 600 dpi, with interpolated resolution up to 1200 × 1200 dpi — sufficient for text, graphics, photos and detailed images.
Versatile Media Handling: Accepts standard paper (thin to thick), recycled paper, business cards, plastic cards/IDs, receipts — even very short or long documents (width: 50.8 mm to 215.9 mm; length: 50.8 mm to 355.6 mm).
Flexible Output Formats & Destinations: Supports scanning to PC, searchable PDF, image files, email, USB stick (scan-to-USB), cloud services, share folders — and works with Windows, macOS and Linux drivers (TWAIN, WIA, ICA, SANE).
Smart Scan Features: Auto-deskew, blank-page skipping, auto-image rotation, auto-size detection and advanced image processing — helping produce clean, usable scans with minimal manual post-processing.
Compact & Desktop-Friendly: Weighs ~ 2.6 kg, with a small footprint that fits neatly on a desk — ideal even for small offices or reception areas.
Energy Efficient & Reliable: Low power consumption at standby, ready and scanning modes; built for regular daily use with a duty cycle suitable for moderate to heavy scanning loads (up to ~6,000 scans/day under typical usage)
