ALL SPECS

Think we've reviewed a lot of Brother desktop document scanners lately? You're not imaging it: The company recently released five sheetfed models, including the ADS-4300N, the ADS-4700W, and the ADS-4900W, which copped an Editors' Choice award among high-volume networkable scanners. Today's entry, the ADS-3300W Wireless High-Speed Desktop Scanner ($369.99), costs $20 more than the ADS-4300N and has slightly lower capacity but features a touch-screen instead of bare-buttons control panel. It's an excellent document scanner, but the ADS-3300W falls short of replacing the Epson RapidReceipt RR-600W and Fujitsu ScanSnap iX1600, our favorite entry-level-to-midrange sheetfed desktop scanners for home-office or small-office and workgroup document management.

Just Another First-Class Desktop Document Scanner

As I said, the ADS-3300W is fourth in the pecking order of Brother's new scanners, positioned below the three ADS-4000 series models already reviewed and above the ADS-3100 waiting in the wings. At 7.5 by 11.7 by 8.5 inches (HWD) with its trays closed and weighing 6.3 pounds, it's roughly the same size as other document scanners in this class, and like them extends to as much as three times its desk-space footprint with its input and output trays open for business.

In addition to the abovementioned Fujitsu and Epson, other competitors of similar stature include the HP ScanJet Pro N4000 snw1 and the Raven Original Document Scanner. The last is a few pounds heavier due to its 8-inch, tablet-like control panel.

The Brother's control panel combines three buttons—Back, Home, and Cancel—with a 2.8-inch color touch screen. From here, you can select from a list of preconfigured workflow profiles. (You manage profiles with the ScanEssentials software included in the downloadable bundle; more about it in a minute.) Only the Brother ADS-3100 and ADS-4300W lack touch screens; the RapidReceipt and ScanSnap have 4.3-inch panels versus the Raven's 8-inch whopper.
