Size Name: USB 2.0 Wired NetworkStyle Name: 40 ppmPattern Name: 50 sheet ADFConfiguration: LED keysVerified Purchase
I like most people, don't read instructions until there is a problem. I rather plug in a machine in and hope that what I want to do can be done easily.

In this case it was exactly as I'd hoped. I have been using a flatbed scanner to scan documents to go out to clients. Generally, these range from 40 to 50 pages long and since my old flatbed scanner will not allow me to feed too many pages in it was taking me literally hours to scan and bind the documents.

I can now put a 50-page document come up with writing on both sides of the page through the scanner and the scanner speedily scans and then releases the papers in the order they went in. I must admit I was very surprised to know that the scanner will assess if there is writing on both sides of the page and if so scans both sides.
The scanner was a doddle to setup, but I do not confess to know all of its intrinsic parts and what you can do. I just needed a scanner to save me time and this does just that. I also needed a scanner which I could plug into my computer or into a USB stick. in this case it does use a USB 2 connection and whilst this isn't the fastest or most convenient it does work well.

All in all, I am happy that the scanner has saved me time and money and I would certainly recommend that machine to anybody who has documents of up to 50 pages to scan. I only use it maybe 2 to three times a week so I can't say that I've overused it. However, it has worked well what is been asked to do.

Bought it to scan all my parents photographs after Mum died. Wanted the five of us to have all the photographs. Like the feeder. The scanner is temperamental, the controls are only half thought through and there is no manual. It does work, but not as slick as it could be.

Great device
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 April 2020
Verified Purchase
This is a really great device. Nice design, very well built & simple to use, and the scanning speed is unbelievably fast. It's a little bit bigger than expected is the only negative really. Probably this scanner is more intended for small offices than personal use.

Setting this scanner up was very easy. I had it connected to wifi in under a minute, and within 10 minutes had connected to the cloud and was sending scans directly to DropBox. All of this was done via the touch panel on the scanner itself, which is very simple & intuitive to use. No software had to be installed on a PC at any point (yay!) and it also looks like admin-type tasks can be done via a built-in web interface on the scanner itself, although this hasn't been needed so far.

Registering dropbox on the device is very simple, via the 'Brother Web Connect' portal. The device is authorized in dropbox first of all, then a temporary access code is entered into the scanner to finish the registration. Really simple and a nice UX overall.

What I really like is that documents are OCR'd by the scanner itself, and they go straight to dropbox. No intermediate service is used (that I can determine). It is a little slow to process & upload each scan compared to the scanning speed itself, which is blisteringly fast. The shortcuts that can be setup allow multiple users to share the device and have their scans go to different destinations (DropBox vs Google Drive), and even different folder locations within each service to allow easy organisation of different document types.

We've barely started using all of the scanning features but so far we're very impressed.

If you are a Mac user, you are better off jumping off a balcony before buying this scanner. This way, you can at least save some money for the same effect; namely, none at all.

The annoying thing is that the scanner is actually top-notch. However, the software for Macs is not, which the masses of horrid and scathing reviews on the Apple Store show. The average rating there is minus 78 stars.

I can only operate the device from my laptop, no matter what I do or try. The touch display is completely useless because I only get one message when touching it: "Check your connection with computer," which I did for several hours with Brother Support Guys (one wants to marry me now) on the phone.

However, it's not a network problem; it is a Brother problem.

Additionally, I find it very strange that the default settings are to feed the pages upside down into the scanner. And then they are scanned from the back, therefore in the wrong order, which can be compensated if you turn them over. Aha.

I have come to the conclusion that Brother either uses Mac users as guinea pigs, are simply inept to adopt their products to the "new" MacOS Big Sur (which was "new" months ago), or both.

So, if you are keen on wasting several days if not decades with troubleshooting, you have come to the right place.

I'm gonna send this scanner back now. Since I've got better things to do.

Glad l did my research. For a small business this device is invaluable and very impressive. Managed to scan an A4 arched levered binder in less than half a day (over 500 double sided documents in colour). At the price point this may not seem like the fastest machine when you look at the pages per minute, however, this becomes irrelevant. What is really important and what really impressed me, was the speed at which the software converted the images into a PDF over WiFi. I also like the fact that it can be used by multiple PCs and that it is compact (the paper tray can be folded away). It also has a touch screen interface. Well done Brother. 5 Stars.

💡L’utilizzo : cercavo uno scanner per digitalizzare tutti i documenti che quotidianamente maneggio,evitando quindi di perderli o doverli cercare nel cartaceo ogni volta. Doveva essere dotato di fronte retro automatico, veloce e che si connettesse in automatico al Wi-Fi, salvando quindi i file sul mio Mac senza procedure scoccianti tipiche dei multifunzione.

✅ La scansione : è un prodotto molto valido, velocissimo in scansione, che sfiora tranquillamente via cavo le 45 pagine al minuto, qualcosa in meno se parliamo di scansione in Wi-Fi, dove i limiti sono legati alla velocità della connessione più che al prodotto in sè. Comunque una volta collegato alla rete domestica, e scaricata l’applicazione dedicata per il proprio computer, sarà possibile impostare la scansione diretta. Con questo funzione, operando direttamente dallo scanner, ma con Mac accesso, si possono scansionare i documenti e ritrovarli salvati sul desktop o nella cartella preimpostata. Può sembrare una funziona inutile, ma vi posso garantire che una volta provata, non si torna più indietro perché è davvero comodissima. Comunque oltre la scansione diretta su pc, ci sono tutta una serie di altre funzioni più o meno utili, in particolare : 1) scansione su usb; 2) scansione su mail; 3) scansione su cartella condivisa. Le funzioni di connettività estese, a cui ho appena accennato, sono disponibili solo per la versione 2700w, che a mio avviso è da preferire alla troppo basic 2200. Lo dico perché le features sono davvero tante, ed aiutano davvero a migliore la produttività, solo che la mancanza del display, nella variante basic, preclude la possibilità di un serio utilizzo autonomo dello scanner rispetto al computer, limitando sensibilmente le migliore che apporta il prodotto in campo lavorativo.

👍 Come va : comodissimo, come dicevo è completamente autonomo dal computer, le scansioni sono di qualità in praticamente tutte le varianti, dal bianco e nero solo fronte, sino ad arrivare al fronte retro a colori. Insomma per parlare con un linguaggio giovanile : “è davvero tanta roba”. Nota di merito va poi al correttivo software, che se ben impostato, elimina automaticamente le onnipresenti pagine bianche, tipiche delle scansioni in cui documenti “fronte retro” e quelli solo “fronte” sono mischiati tra loro.

☑️ Manutenzione : niente di particolarmente complicato, è prevista una pulizia dei rulli ogni 5000 scansioni, da effettuarsi a cura dell’utente con un panno morbido, ed una sostituzione completa ogni 100.000 scansioni, quest’ultima procedura ben spiegata sul sito del supporto tecnico. Il costo del ricambio, da mie ricerche su internet, dovrebbe essere intorno ai 40 euro, tenete però conto che la sostituzione a 100.000 non è obbligatoria, sicché se i rulli continuano ad andare bene nulla vieta di poterli “tirare” anche fino a 130-40 mila pagine. Peraltro, ad onor del vero, prodotti simili, anche dello stesso produttore, prevedono il cambio ogni 200.000 mila scansioni, sintomo che “osare” si può.

🛃 Conclusioni: davvero un bel prodotto, di qualità, ben realizzato e che permette di massimizzare di molto in termini di produttività. Non rinuncerei sinceramente alle funzioni di connettività estesa della 2700w per risparmiare qualcosina, anche perché in termini di produttività la differenza con la 2200 si sente, e anche parecchio.

This is a fantastic solution for small office scanning. We bought the Brother because we have a very expensive Xerox copier that we use for scanning, but it breaks down so much that we needed a back up. After a few weeks of using the Brother, nobody in the office uses the Xerox any more except for oversize scans. The Brother has become the primary scanner and everyone in the office has given it positive reviews.

It works great. I've only seen it jam once and that was because someone didn't remove the staple from a document. The document feeder is supposed to only hold 50 sheets, but that seems very conservative. People have been filling it up with much more and there have been no glitches. It's easily as fast as the giant Xerox and much faster than most multi-function scanning devices.

I thought the set up was incredibly easy and intuitive, but I do work with computers. Still, I find many similar products limited in terms of compatibility and terribly unintuitive in terms of set up and user interaction. The Xerox was a nightmare to set up for network scanning. We have another Brother MFC device in the office and it was very difficult to integrate into our network because it had very limited network capabilities and it requires the user to navigate through 6 screens before they can scan.

One of the best features of this device is that there are 3 programmable buttons on the front of the scanner. I set up the first button for color documents, the 2nd button for black and white documents and the third for reduced file size black and white scans. All a user needs to do to scan a document is insert the paper and press one of the buttons. That's it, 1 button and the document get scanned and uploaded to our server. Please note that you really do need a server or a NAS to get the benefits of this scanner. If you're not going use the networking then you are probably better off buying a cheaper Fujitsu without networking. I use a Fujitsu ScanSnap at home and it's great, but only for a single user.

The only draw back some offices might have is if they need more than 3 presets. Many offices like to have a button for each employee which goes to a private server folder. That wasn't a requirement for us. We only have a dozen people in the office so a single network share with the 3 presets works great.

I previously owned a Fujitsu, which finally wore out. I ordered the Brother because it is compatible with both a PC and MAC. My biggest complaint with the Brother is - It will NOT scan pages that have sticky notes or tape attached. The Fujitsu would scan about everything. The Brother also doesn't have near as many scan options as the Fujitsu. If I had realized all the differences before my return time had expired, I would have returned the Brother back to the company.
