Exactly as promised, it is a simple but effective tool. I bought it to organize the sloppy, slippery stacks of magazine clippings, decorating / inspiration pics and recipes that I tear out and I was pleasantly surprised by how clearly it scanned. Even cheaper quality paper, a little wrinkled with rough edges came out great. :) Pics also came out decent. And the software is easy to use. For the price and convenient size, I'd definitely recommend. I do wish it had a sliding paper guide though...

I purchased this product because of other peoples reviews. I use this scanner daily, 90% of the time to scan personal checks and insurance company checks. I do not like that when you scan a personal check, there is black where nothing was copied. Have you ever copied something in a copier and left the lid up? You know how the copy is surrounded by black?
What I do is scan my checks as JPEGs, edit with Irfranview, cut the images, and paste them into MS Word. Then I save as a PDF. Looks better that way. Never had a scanner before, this does a good job for the price, only wish it had a paper guide because it is near impossible to get the picture "square". This scanner will remain at work, and I plan to buy a flatbed scanner for the home office.

          Comments about Brother® DSmobile® 600 Compact Color Scanner:

          Boss said to buy a portable scanner and keep it under $150. I was checking stats and reviews on the Zerox model for [$] with a $50 rebate. Then I found the Brother scanner on sale for [$] and read up on it. No regrets. I have to scan hand filled forms daily and the boss says they are VERY clear and easily read my data input. I bought a 3' USB A-B cable on Ebay, as the supplied 6' cable is overkill.

                I use this scanner to copy my files for on-the-go work. I can go to a local wi-fi hot spot and have my documents emailed in minutes, and I like the speed and quality of the scanned files. The scanner has paid for itself several times over. Since I was faxing a lot from Staples locations; I decided to purchase the product online from their website.

                My wife uses it for her mile high stack of recipes and any other single sheets to be scanned.

                We're using it to scan sales slips to make it easier at tax time.

                It's much handier than our flatbeds for single sheets.

                    This Brother scanner should meet your needs. It will scan in both black and white and color (it will scan faster in black and white than in color). Also, the included software gives you the ability to scan to e-mail. To place an order for this item, please call Staples at 1-800-333-3330.

                  I have had the scanner a little over a year and now when I insert something to be scanned, it "grabs" more from one side than the other so the copy looks smeared. I put the cleaning sheet through it, but that didn't help.

                    A:

                    Yes, you can scan multiple pages into one file. The DSmobileSCAN II allows documents to be saved as Adobe Acrobat, TIFF or JPEG files. The PageManager Version 7 allows users to scan and organize digitized files with the ability to view, edit, send and save files in many formats. When you are in need of scanning multiple pages and you want them to be saved into one file, you simply scan the first page and set up the file destination. Then you scan the next page and simply choose the file you created to sent the scan to, then continue with this process until scan completion.

                    The software, PageManager Version 7, allows users to scan and organize digitized files with the ability to view, edit, send and save files in many formats, so you can have either large files of many documents or smaller ones.
