Brother ADS-4700W vs Canon ImageFORMULA RS40 Scanner

Buy the Brother ADS-4700W for an office workgroup that scans paper documents all day. It adds Wi-Fi, a 4.3-inch touchscreen with 56 shortcuts, an 80-sheet feeder, and TWAIN/WIA/ISIS/SANE drivers, which the Canon lacks. Buy the Canon ImageFORMULA RS40 if photos are part of the job. Its feeder handles up to 40 photos at once and its software includes red-eye correction and face smoothing. Both scan duplex at up to 40 ppm for documents, but the Brother is the stronger document machine and the Canon is the only one of the two built for photo batches.

• Choose the Brother ADS-4700W if you scan stacks of office documents, need Wi-Fi and network scanning, or want one-touch shortcuts and wide driver support for a document management system.
• Choose the Canon ImageFORMULA RS40 if you need to digitize boxes of printed photos alongside receipts, cards and tax documents, and a USB connection is enough.
