Sitting on the rung below Brother's flagship ADS-4900W scanner, the ADS-4700W offers a more affordable alternative to SMBS on tight budgets. It may cost over £200 less than its bigger brother but still delivers an impressive package with a top scan speed of 40ppm, a hefty 6,000-page daily duty cycle and a slightly smaller 80-page ADF.

It's well connected, too, offering USB 3, wired or wireless access, though for the latter it supports only 2.4GHz networks (not 802.11a/n 5GHz like the ADS-4900W). There are no compromises with the user interface, though: the same slick 10.9cm colour LCD touchscreen offers a wealth of user-friendly scan features.

Installation takes around 30 minutes per PC, with Brother's downloadable utility getting you started by loading the drivers, iPrint&Scan app and firmware update tool. It also adds Brother's Utilities app, which you use to download and install Nuance's PaperPort 14 SE digital file cabinet and Kofax's Power PDF 3 OCR and document conversion tool.
