ADS-1800W | Wireless Desktop Document Scanner

Overview

Freedom to scan from anywhere

Compatible with most external batteries or power banks, there is no need for the ADS-1800W to be connected to a laptop or PC to scan your documents from any location. With wireless network connectivity and cloud scanning built in, you can truly scan from anywhere.

Seamless performance, every time

No matter where you scan from, you will get the same high performance, every time. With scan speeds of up to 60 sides per minute (2-sided), documents are saved quickly and effortlessly to file, email server, USB host, network or you can scan them directly to your PC.

Intelligent and effortless

With one-touch scanning, reduce the time you spend on repetitive tasks and set up shortcuts to frequently used locations. So you can be confident that all your documents are reliably saved to the right place, every time.

Versatile media handling

The time-saving 20-sheet Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) manages various sizes and thicknesses of paper (up to 128gsm) with ease. Whilst the dedicated card slot comfortably handles plastic ID cards.

Industry-leading software

Available as standard, Power PDF provides you with the flexibility to easily convert, edit and share documents in seconds. Together with Kofax PaperPort, a document management solution, workflows can be created so that you can share, search and organise documents with ease and accuracy.

Industry Uses

Education

Schools, colleges, universities and other offices within the education sector can improve efficiencies by scanning and automating paper based processes so they can be seamlessly integrated into their own student record and back office document systems.

Legal & Finance

With the Brother scanners, legal firms can significantly cut down their admin time dealing with the thousands of documents they need to collect, store and share.

Finance and insurance companies have an increasing need for paperless document management whether for compliance, internal collaboration or customer requirements. Scanning helps reduces the time and effort in long term storage and management of contracts. Brother scanners help bridge the gap between paper processes and effective digitisation.

Government

Government and other public offices can manage personal information efficiently by converting a wide range of paper documents into searchable, secure and compliant digital data archives. For this task, scanners must cater for high volumes and compliance with rigid security/data protection requirements while remaining cost effective.

Healthcare

GP surgeries, hospitals, dental practices and other medical and healthcare organisations have an ever-increasing need to digitise information both accurately and securely. However, office space is often limited particularly at reception desks and security is always a key concern.

Home Office

Scanning for the home office allows space saving and gives peace of mind knowing that important files, photos and documents are backed up and can be accessed from mobile devices.

Logistics

High volumes of daily delivery notes can be easily managed when converted into digital documents, resulting in faster turnaround times for clients, greater back-office efficiency and records management compliance for disaster recovery. Robust, reliable scanning is essential.

Office

Offices can benefit from scanning a wide range of business documents helping reduce costly storage space and improve business efficiencies. Cut down on insecure hard copies, meet environmental targets, achieve HR data compliance guidelines, enable simple document collaboration and improve business efficiencies.

Retail

Retailers can convert a wide range of daily transactional documents into digital assets quickly and accurately while sales dockets, orders and invoices can be scanned in the moment giving the business owner or manager peace of mind. Scans can be integrated with sales management platforms or shared to internal or external network folders, USB drives or cloud platforms.
