Brother ADS-1100W review

 

The basic unit is the ADS-1100W and in its unfolded state measures a very trim 285 x 103 x 84 mm. Styled throughout in elegant black, the smart patterned cover peels back to become the input tray for a 20-sheet ADF.

Brother should be complimented for creating a versatile compact document scanner that creates multiple opportunities to disseminate digital data but it's let down by poor paper alignment.

A Dedicated Scanner : Brother Page scanner ADS-1100W

 

Many of the scanners that come by way, for testing, form part of an All-in-One or multifunction devices. However there are exceptions and this is one of those occasions.

The Brother ADS-1100W is a compact personal page scanner which means it is restricted to scanning single pages rather than a book or magazine. As the “W” part of its model number might indicate, this scanner can connect to a computer system, whether of...

Truly excellent

 

Having in September purchased one for my own home use and been so impressed with the machine, I have purchased another as a Christmas present for one of my sons. Amazingly compact with excellent quality of scans, double or single sided with up to 20...

Good product but with software limitations

 

Works well after setting up which was not that straightforward or intuitive. The product has evidently been around for quite some time and hence has stood the test of time, but the operating aspects do not seem to have kept up with the original concept...

Good simple compact desktop scanner

 

This is a great basic scanner for everyday use. It can scan documents double sided very quickly. Obviously this can only be used on sheets of paper, and books etc are not compatible. We have just started a new business and the scanner has saved us a...

Scanner purchase

 

Whilst the scanner was just what I was looking for I am very disappointed the software provided did not allow me to set up the scanner and therefore I am not currently using it until I can find a solution.

Fast set-up and scanning with difficulties with sheet-fed

 

Easy set up to use in wifi. Fast scanning even with highest resolution of 600dpi. Main point is that the scanner pies not pull in paper straight. With highest resolution paper is pulled through slower - I made a diy construction that ensures a4 paper...

Great Device

 

I bought this to scan documents for home and work. It is small for storage and very easy to set up. For the cost the speed of the device is very good and the PDF scan quality has been more than acceptable at full speed. There have been one or two paper...

Compact and easy to use

 

Compact, fast and convenient. Will avoid having to work out where to file all the paperwork we receive. Works best for us when scanning to a USB flash drive.
