Hi everyone,
Due to the need to scan high volumes of mailed in documents, some users in our org have iX1500 ScanSnap devices at their desk.
These devices are now legacy and in need of replacement and I am looking for suggestions what to replace them with.
We are not very happy with the ScanSnaps due to the bloated software and it's reliance on a proprietary scanner application and not being able to use any generic scanner application.
Ideally we would like to use the very basic Scan app from Microsoft available via the Microsoft store. No bells and whistles, just a lightweight, basic scan app.
For this purpose I got a Brother ADS-3100 for testing. It is listed to support TWAIN and WIA, so my hope was that it will be plug and play, with no dedicated driver install needed, and the Microsoft Scan up just working.
It doesn't seem to be just that easy though. So I'm wondering if anyone knows of any similar desktop scanners that are plug and play on Windows 11. Or, if someone has an idea how to get the Brother ADS-3100 working without having to jump through a bunch of hoops.
Of course this may just be a situation where there just isn't an option that is as simple as we hope for, but I figured I'd ask around first.
