Brother ImageCenter ADS 3000N Scanning & Shortcuts

This new model takes a different approach to scanning that the tested ADS-2500W and ADS-2500We models that we tested a while back. The different approach is that the ADS-3000N is designed for ease of use in the office, where its predecessors had touch screens that included scan to social network functionality that can only be a distraction in an office or industrial environment. It's daily scan volume has also been increased from 1,500 to 5,000 scans per day. Other key design changes include the aforementioned simplified controls and duty cycle, elimination of the fold-down smoked cover, sturdier original and output supports, integrated scan to Microsoft SharePoint, Gigabit wired networking and significantly beefier original feed rollers. There is also no WiFi networking support but not to worry, the are also new ImageCenter ADS-2800W ($499.99) and ADS-3600W ($799.99) models that feature WiFi networking, the familiar 3.7" swipeable touch screens and the advanced feature set found on the previously tested models. Like its predecessors, the ImageCenter ADS-3000N's features include: scan to FTP, network folders, USB flash-memory devices, and email servers; single-pass scanning of two-sided originals. It also includes a generous assortment of software, that includes: ABBYY FineReader Professional 11; ABBYY PDF Transformer Plus (Windows); Nuance PaperPort 14SE (Windows); ControlCenter 4 (Windows); and ControlCenter 2 (Mac).​
