Great small scanner

I've wasted money on small scanners in the past only to find a scanning app on my phone is better. This Brother scanner is exactly what I wanted: fast, small form factor, and 2-sided.

Husband's new toy!

My husband loves this. He likes to keep all his documents in an organized fashion and this machine is helping him doing that super easily.

Perfect for the busy party.

Excellent quality. Good manufacturer. Works exactly as described.

Love it

I like it, it works great. Scans IDs fast and it’s a great value.

Good low cost scanner

Fast duplex scanning. Can use in pdf or jpeg format.

Small and fast!

I can't believe how compact and how fast this scanner is. I love that the software lets me control it from the computer and post scanned documents directly to the appropriate folder with the workflow.

Works great

After reading all the negative reviews I was concerned about the functionality and quality of this 1700W scanner. I have a monochrome laser printer from Brother that I have been happy with so I took a chance. I have been happy thus far. Set up was easy. I plugged it in and turned it on. I followed the instructions to connect to my wifi network. I installed the app on my phone and my computer (mac). I tried to use the apple software to scan without using the brother app. Didn't work. So I downloaded both the iPrint&scan app from the app store and the software from the brother website. It has been working great. Some the pages scan a little crooked what do you expect for <$200? It's only a minor issue.

Good size and works well.

This was a gift and the person said they really liked it.

Best mobile scanner

I am a mobile notary and I needed a fast, reliable, mobile scanner. I bought this and returned it because it wasn't compatible with my chrome book. I instead bought a doxie q , which had great reviews and it was absolutely awful. I decided to buy this one again and if I needed to I would buy a laptop it was compatible with. What I discovered is this has an app for iphone and all I needed was a hot spot for the scanned docs to go directly to my phone. I scan ids front and back and pages and pages of docs. This has incredible clarity, is super fast and never feeds crooked or messes up the original. I read some reviews that said it feeds crooked and chews up the original. I can only imagine that those people are paid to badmouth this scanner. This is such an awesome product. I would most definitely recommend it. This has absolutely changed the way I do business and has added incredible value.

What a delight after setup

I had a devil of a time setting up this scanner. It offers about six ways to control the scanner. For two reasons, I wanted was to scan to a shared folder on the local area network: so, all of our computers could make use of the scanner, and we could operate the scanner while sitting down with it, as it resides in a separate room with other network equipment. So, I wanted to sit down at the scanner, ask it to scan, see that it did so successfully, and then walk to the computer in another room to access the produced pdf file. We use Apple computers and the difficulty in setting up the scanner had to do with setting up a separate, limited account for the scanner, opening up the firewall just enough to let the scanner in, ownership, and file permissions, and more. Particularly difficult was figuring out the correct path name that the scanner would use to find the shared folder. After much searching, I found an example that immediately led to the solution. It took me two days and about 12 hours to get it working. It would have been faster if Brother's documentation or help site showed an example of the folder path for my circumstance. After setup, it has been a beauty. I have used it for a week, and I wonder how I ever got along without a document scanner. It is fast, it is small, and it produces high quality PDF files. If it shows the reliability that my Brother printer and old phone fax machine have demonstrated, I will be very happy.
