Fast, effecient, and portable. minor setbacks
I ordered this for a large scanning project where i needed duplex scanning on 1000+ documents. after finishing the project here are my thoughts:Pros-The scanner is portable and uses the same cable for connection and power to a computer.Small form factorQuick scanning. only 4-5 seconds per pagedouble sided scanninggood quality of image.software was easy to use and was helpful at organizing everything as i scanned it.I ran into 2 setbacks while using it that were frustrating but once i got the hang of it were just fine.Cons -The slider to choose paper size did not stay in place. i cut a pencil to hold it in place (picture attached) which fully fixed my problem but it would be nice if the slider had a bit more resistance so it didnt move so easily.If i tried to insert a page too quickly after scanning the machine would throw a paper jam error which i couldnt get cleared unless i unplugged and plugged it back in.Aside from these two things I would say this was easily the best product for what i needed considering the price and i was able to get next day delivery.

I ordered this for a large scanning project where i needed duplex scanning on 1000+ documents. after finishing the project here are my thoughts:

Pros-
The scanner is portable and uses the same cable for connection and power to a computer.
Small form factor
Quick scanning. only 4-5 seconds per page
double sided scanning
good quality of image.
software was easy to use and was helpful at organizing everything as i scanned it.

I ran into 2 setbacks while using it that were frustrating but once i got the hang of it were just fine.
Cons -
The slider to choose paper size did not stay in place. i cut a pencil to hold it in place (picture attached) which fully fixed my problem but it would be nice if the slider had a bit more resistance so it didnt move so easily.
If i tried to insert a page too quickly after scanning the machine would throw a paper jam error which i couldnt get cleared unless i unplugged and plugged it back in.

Aside from these two things I would say this was easily the best product for what i needed considering the price and i was able to get next day delivery.

I have good experience with previous Brother products, and this scanner, fortunately, was no exception. Decent quality of scanned documents, good scan speed, easy setup (macOS Catalina), and intuitive operation.
