Plustek / Document scanners
A USB 2.0 duplex scanner with a 100-sheet feeder, 600 dpi optical resolution, ultrasonic multi-feed detection and a TWAIN driver. It works through a connected Windows or Mac computer and documents long pages to 200 in and plastic cards up to 1.2 mm thick.
No community reviews yet.
Maximum capacity depends on paper weight. Mixed or fragile originals can require smaller batches.
A4 or Letter at 70 g/m2 (18 lb) in the specifications; the manual's loading table gives 100 A4-or-smaller sheets at 80 g/m2 with a stack under 5 mm. Up to 30 business cards. Mixed or fragile originals can need smaller batches.
Wireless scanning still requires the supported setup, software and destination.
The only listed interface is USB 2.0 Type B.
Check the specific host and application. TWAIN availability is not a promise that every document-management package is compatible.
All three list the scanner as TWAIN compliant with the DocTWAIN driver. The datasheet's feature list also names a WIA driver, which the specification's protocol row does not. Verify the exact application and host.

Document handling scopeThe reviewed paper and special-media limits. A long-paper setting, carrier sheet and manual feeding are separate capabilities; do not generalise an ADF capacity to every original. | ADF documents from 2 x 2 in to 8.5 x 200 in at 40-220 g/m2 (10-58 lb), up to 30 business cards, and ISO-size plastic or embossed cards up to 1.2 mm thick.Pages longer than 14 in need Long Document Mode and are best fed one at a time.

Included equipmentThe reviewed standard US hardware package. The presence of a USB-C port does not establish an included USB-C-to-C cable. Memory sticks and optional carrier sheets are separate. | Scanner, paper chute, USB cable and AC power adapter; a disc, calibration sheet, cleaning cloth and mixed-paper scan frame are marked optional.The quick guide says contents vary by country and model, while the manual refers to a calibration sheet included with the scanner. The USB cable's connector types are not stated, and the adapter rating conflicts: 24 Vdc 0.75 A in the spec page and manual, 1.25 A in the datasheet.Sources · 2026-10-21Plustek: SmartOffice PS3140U Quick Guide 17-0702A0M00092 (V2.0)Checked 2026-10-21.

| Questions to check before buying | Plustek publishes conflicting OS support: Windows XP to 11 and macOS 10.12 to 27.x on the US spec page, versus Windows 7 to 11, Mac OS 10.12 to 12.x or later and integrator-only Linux in the datasheet. The power adapter rating differs between official sources (24 Vdc 0.75 A versus 1.25 A), and the quick guide says box contents vary by country and model. WIA appears in the datasheet's feature list but not in the specification's protocol row. No physical scan, OCR or driver test was performed. |
