Brother Duplex mobile scanner

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. Connected to the network without any issues. It has many features you might expect from large business scanners. The web interface made configuration easy. Fast scanning ability. Saving to the network takes a longer but does work well. Very compact and is ideal for use in small spaces. I would recommend this product to anyone with small scanner needs. All in all a great product.

Nice little scanner

Excellent portable scanner, especially for its price range. My only complaint is that it will get stuck sometimes (like 5/100 times) or that I'm not able to change scanning page sizes in the middle of a scan session - but those are just preferences, not actual inconveniences.

ONE PAGE AT A TIME and SLOW

This scanner only takes one page at a time. So if you have a multipage document, you need to use a PDF editor to merge the files - SMH. It also takes a few seconds to start scanning it's one page input - it's slow. I have an older laptop, but it's not terrible with 32GB RAM and a quad code, 8 thread processor. If one page at a time is OK, the scanner works well. The hardware is solid. The included software is decent. I use XODO to do most of my editing. However, I need to be able to scan more than one page at a time. PROS: solid hardware, no external power supply, very portable, compact, reliable CONS: one page at a time, slow to start scanning page Conclusion: If it would take more than one page, it would be a very solid scanner and value. I believe I got it for ~$100 before COVID

reply from Brother Customer Service.

The Brother DS740D machine is designed to take one page at the time since this model does not have an automatic document feeder.

Good, but needs more customizable document sizing.

Been looking for something like this for a long time. After a couple of months of use the only thing on my wish list for this is if it would let you scan longer documents like car loan documents or loan documents. I could not find a setting to customize for much longer document sizes.

Perfect

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. This is a perfect scanner if you want something which doesn`t take much space, and you don`t need to scan a ton of things. Easy to set up with no difficulties. User friendly. Does a great job. Happy to have it and glad to share with family and friends. They tried it and are going to buy their own. You will not be disappointed.

Excellent Portable Scanner

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. I have been in search of a mobile scanner for home use similar to the one I use for work. I received this one and am happy to report it has met every need I have for use at home. Our previous scanning capabilities were through our printer and it was very cumbersome and involved several steps. This mobile scanner arrived well-protected and boxed very securely. The only slight hiccup for me was when downloading the software from their website. It was a little confusing when trying to select which software you needed. Once I figured out that, the download was seamless and fast. I was using the scanner within 10 minutes from taking it out of the box. The design of the scanner is very sleek so you could even leave it out and connected if you found yourself scanning frequently. I was most impressed with scanning color documents. The result was extremely crisp! I highly recommend this if you are in the need of a mobile document scanner.

Great little scanner at a good price!

Easy to start up and use, includes PDF editing software, works very well for small items like business cards and receipts, and short documents. Good value too!

Great Portable Scanner

It is a compact easy to use scanner. The quality of scans for my purpose is very good. Since it is a duplex scanner it saves time not having to turn page over and re-scan. I recommend if you you need a portable scanner.
