Brother International Corporation today announced the launch of the ImageCenter™ ADS-1500W, the flagship model in its new series of compact scanners for small office/home office (SOHO) and small business users. With the introduction of this series of compact desktop scanners, Brother now offers a complete lineup of scanners including newly redesigned mobile scanner models and an award-winning series of workgroup scanners.
Brother created the ADS-1500W to be a tremendous value for business customers, combining the economical price point and size of mobile scanners with a variety of advanced functions typically reserved for more costly desktop workgroup scanners. The ADS-1500W has a compact footprint of only 11.2" wide and 4.1" deep, but is packed with advanced scanning features including simplex/duplex color scan speeds of up to 18 ppm, a 20-sheet capacity auto document feeder, and web connectivity. Plus, the ADS-1500W is compatible with Windows®, Mac® and Linux® operating systems, so it can be used in almost any small business, workgroup or home office environment.
The ADS-1500W can connect to a wireless network and the 2.7" color TouchScreen display lets users scan directly to popular cloud services including FACEBOOK™, PICASA WEB ALBUMS™, FLICKR™, GOOGLE DRIVE™, EVERNOTE®, BOX and SKYDRIVE. Users can access a variety of scan-to destinations such FTP, network, e-mail server, USB flash drive as well as scan directly to compatible mobile devices using the Brother iPrint&Scan app.
To address the ever-growing need for scanning, digitizing and sharing documents, the ADS-1500W includes a complete suite of scanning software including PDF conversion software, a desktop document manager, as well as business card management programs. The ADS-1500W also includes new BR-Receipts software that enables users to scan receipts and then export receipt data to Microsoft Excel®, Quickbooks® software or Quicken® software. Additionally, the ADS-1500W features advanced scanning options such as image optimization with automatic deskew, blank page removal, auto image rotation and background removal to help save scanning time and maximize productivity. The ADS-1500W comes with a one-year limited warranty along with free phone support for the life of the product.
"With the introduction of the ADS-1500W, Brother demonstrates its firm commitment to the scanner market, creating a complete lineup of products that help bolster productivity, easily integrate with leading operating systems and business software, and provide outstanding value for home, SOHO, and workgroup scanner users," said Steve Feldstein, Director of Marketing for Brother Laser and Scanner products. "Our new compact scanners truly deliver the best of both the mobile and desktop scanner categories, furthering our position as an industry leader in the scanner market."
In addition to the flagship model ADS-1500W ($299), Brother will be also introducing the ADS-1000W ($249). Both are scheduled for an October 2013 release.
