Brother ImageCenter ADS-2000 Document Scanner

fast and quick 2-sided paper scanner

I am using this to scan old magazines, and it does an excellent job and very good quality scans. It is fairly fast, and scans both sides of the sheet at the same time, making scanning two sided documents even faster. And you can put a stack of papers into the feeder and just let it run. Well, mostly....

When doing very thin paper like in magazines, if you put too many papers in the input hopper, it will often mis-feed and jam. I have gotten around this by putting in fewer, and slowly adding more as the scan proceeds, which works great.

The software that comes with it is the weakest point here. When the unit jams, it closes the current scan document and waits for you to un-jam and "continue" by starting a new scan. Merging the two files is now your problem, which I found no easy solution for. Annoying if you need a single page document. Also, the software does not help you know which was the last page scanned correctly, and pressing the "clear/stop" button immediately passes all the remaining pages to the outlet tray. Basically, re-stack and start all over. This could have been greatly improved.

But the scanner does a good job, you can quickly find workarounds to jammed jobs.Read full review

Does the job

I scan all my home documents and keep electronic files. My all-in-one unit just couldn't handle the load. The Imagecenter is very easy to use, very fast, and handles a wide variety of paper sizes.

Great scanner at any price

have 2 love both. Easy to set up high quality scans. Not much more you could ask for. 2 sided scanning is also a great feature. Not many have this feature. No more flipping scans over to get both sides. great for pictures too. Just put the in tray and scan a dozen photos at one sitting.Read full review

Brother Scanner ADA2000

A bit confusing to setup for a novice, but anyone with a bit of experience should have no problems. Performing well so far. Fairly big unit, so takes up more room on my desk then my old fujitsu snapscan. You can find these cheap on the used market. RecommendedRead full review

Nice batch scanner.

You just have to set-up in the correct way to have the scan software working (in Windows 10). Works very well in Linux also.

Great scanner, especially for OCR

Great scanner, easy to use. Scans multiple pages at once in great resolution.
I scanned ALL my documents in searchable PDF, and now I can find any document momentarily using a free app DocFetch that indexes all your docs.
Good luck! Read full review

GREAT SCANNER

Great scanner, I would definitely recommend it but I would warn you it does have issues with jamming. If you plan on scanning a lot of pages per a few at a time I think the weight of the sheets make it jamRead full review
