Information
Overview
Fast and reliable
With an in-built ultrasonic multifeed to eliminate misfeeds, the ADS-4900W also has the largest ADF capacity (100 sheets) and is the fastest in the range, scanning up to 60 pages per minute, or one every second.
Simple and intuitive
Set up a dedicated user interface with one-touch scanning and the ability to add up to 56 shortcuts to frequently used destinations. You can also use an optional external cardreader to make the scanning process even easier. Just tap the card and add your documents into the ADF to automatically and securely capture the information on the page.
Advanced connectivity
With USB3.0, USB host, network and wireless connectivity, you can securely scan documents and share with colleagues, without the need for a PC.
Advanced image capture and processing
Enjoy effortless and impressive image capture and processing - from easily referencing and locating scanned pages with the digital imprinter, to optimising image quality through the automatic vertical streaks and moiré reduction tools.
The document separation functionality also automatically detects and removes any scanned blank pages, thus reducing file sizes and document preparation time.
Automatically route documents with barcodes
Reduce the labor-intensive task of scanning several documents, saving and then renaming files. Barcode Utility enables documents that have a barcode to be scanned and saved to the required location, automating the separation of a batch of documents and routing each individual file to the designated folder on your network.
Industry recognised software
Increase post-scanning productivity with industry recognised software including Kofax and NewSoft. Available as standard with this device.
