I compare these 4 scanners: https://www.digitec.ch/Comparison/5692394-7040638-5692337-5692400 The following questions for the 2800W: 1) No archiving software? What exactly would that be and what would that mean if I want to archive about 10 folders privately and then have to scan thousands of papers from over 50 years of business? 2) What is the colour depth? 3) What are the supported file formats?

1) Nuance PaperPort 14 SE (Windows) is included as software, but I don't know it because I scan directly to the NAS and use MacOS.
2) According to https://www.brother.eu/-... it is 24bit for colour and 8bit greyscale.
3) According to the settings menu I can select the following file types: PDF (single-sided, multi-sided, protected, signed), TIFF, PDF/A, JPEG, XPS

I find the scanner great and appreciate that I can scan directly to the NAS without having to use the computer. I scan each document individually and later sort the PDFs manually into folders.

The option "Scan to OneDrive" is also practical from time to time, e.g. to store something directly in my son's OneDrive.
