Brother ADS-3000N scanner review | Quite impressive.

Brother ADS-3000N Datasheet Explained

This equipment is capable of capturing a surface of 8.27 in x 11.69 in.

The Brother ADS-3000N will match a real resolution 600.

This equipment is capturing using a high end sensor, which is CIS.

When you are thinking of data transfer, the scanner works with Gigabit Ethernet and SuperSpeed USB 3.0.

Documents every minute in simplex will be aproximately 50.

On the other hand, in duplex mode the Brother ADS-3000N will scan at 100 Documents per minute in duplex mode .

Scanning 5,000 pages is what the manufacturers claims to this scanners daily Recommended volume.

The Brother ADS-3000N works with Twain, Sane, Wia, Ica and Isis driver interface.

You should assume the consumables to process approximately 600.000 normal pages.

Specs for paper handling

The Overlap detection (Ultrasonic sensor) will take care of the Multifeed Detection, and prevent the feeding of 2 pages at the same time.

When considering this product, take into account that the Size of the ADF can accomodate up to 50.

When it comes to Document thickness the Brother ADS-3000N is capable of handling paper of 11 lb. to 110 lb.

It’s good news that the Brother ADS-3000N has a long page feature, and it will scan 196 in in document size.

Brother ADS-3000N accesories unboxing

The Brother ADS-3000N has a dimmension of 12 x 10.15 x 9.8 inches.

The Brother ADS-3000N weighs somewhere around 9.8 lbs. This value doesn’t account for any parts that can be applied to the equipment.

In the package you will notice the included apps: ABBYY FineReader Professional, ABBYY PDF Transformer+, Nuance PaperPort 14 SE, Control Center 2 & 4.

Features for Productivity

Your batch of documents has different sized documents? The Auto Page Size will sort that for you.

I like the Automated Rotation of Documents for documents that are not homogenous when it comes to orientation. A mix of portrait and landscape documents will be handled by the Automated Rotation of Documents mode.

It’s always a nice thing to have colored documents detected automatically. A Brother ADS-3000N offers this function as standard through its driver.

As you would expect, you can run this scanner with the Blank page detection . You can enable it from the driver.

Going through the driver of the Dual stream scanning , you will soon notice it does not feature Dual stream scanning .

Quality of images

While the Background Cleaning works great with most documents, you should double check documents with images and pictures.

The Page Margin Cleanup helps you by cleaning your scanned scanned documents.

Straightening documents automatically is possible with the Brother ADS-3000N. Luckily, the Straightening Image feature will allign most images quite well.

Hole Punch Removal is interesting to use as it provides you with clean images on the perforated side.

The Streaks Filtering setting is most often sold on bigger equipment . The Brother ADS-3000N in question is missing Streaks Filtering .

Extra Features

Sometimes I prefer enabling the Feeding Paper by Hand from the driver, to make sure the Brother ADS-3000N will process older documents safely.

Check if your scanner comes with free Barcode Recognition . If not, buy this option or get another scanner who has it.

On the Brother ADS-3000N the Automatic Separation of Documents feature is missing. That reduces the efficiency significantly.

The OCR is mandatory on just about any scanner and the Brother ADS-3000N comes as standard with it.

Usually, the Field Indexing is available either or on expensive scanners or expensive software. The Brother ADS-3000N is missing this feature.
