Compact sheet-fed scanner for small offices

The Brother ADS-3100 is a desktop document scanner built for small-office and home-office professionals who need fast, reliable digitisation. It feeds up to 60 sheets automatically and scans at 40 ppm through a SuperSpeed USB 3.0 connection. Optical resolution reaches 600 x 600 dpi with interpolated output up to 1200 x 1200 dpi.

Sustained throughput with a 60-sheet ADF

The 60-page automatic document feeder lets the scanner maintain its 40 ppm rate across multi-page jobs without constant reloading. Power draw settles at 23 W while scanning and drops to 1.4 W in sleep mode, so the unit stays cool during long batches. The compact 11.70" x 8.50" x 7.50" footprint keeps desk space free for other tasks.

Check USB port and OS version before ordering

Your computer must provide a USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 port and run a supported operating system: Windows 7 SP1, 8.1, 10 Home, Server 2012, 2012 R2, 2016 or 2019, or macOS 10.14, 10.15 or 11.1. The box includes the AC adapter and a USB 3.0 cable. Buyers who need flatbed scanning for bound books or fragile originals should look elsewhere.
