Operates poorly
It does not work properly and is very unpredictable as to when it will work. No matter how I try to separate the pages it will scan from 2 to 5 pages at once. I have had to scan items 3 or more times and still ended up walking down the hall to the big printer. This was a waste of money.

This is the best scanner i've ever had.
This scanner is very pretty, very demure. It doesn't take up much space and can easily be moved from one location to another. doesn't have a catch tray so make sure you have it some place with room for your documents to land.

GREAT SCANNER
This scanner has made my life so much easier! It is fast and accurate. It also helps with the organization of files with the ability to set up different folders for your scans to be stored. Overall it is a fantastic machine.

Brother is usually Good
Set up temporally to insure it was working which it was. Did not read all the instructions so I missed some of the steps in scanning. It seemed to grab the pages and have a crooked scan even after setting it up for daily use. But have had Brother scanners in the past and I know that I can work out the problems.

Seems a good little scanner...
I bought this scanner - ADS-1200 - for a couple of reasons. One was that I wanted to "digitize" a mountain of genealogical research documents to mitigate the ever growing paper storage nightmare my research has created. And second, to likewise scan the growing number of physical photos I have. I find it interesting to note that the marketing literature lists scanning PH...

Will only last a year
I bought this scanner 1 year ago and in exactly 1 year it stopped scanning properly and is pulling through multiple pages at once. I reported to Brother and they said they can't cover under warranty. I think it is a simple fix maybe one of the rollers or the mechanism that separates the pages. I am very disappointed in the product. I also have a Brother printer and i...

Easy Scanning
I like this compact scanner. It works so well, and makes my piles of scanning disappear quickly. Great duplex scanning. Easy to use. Glad I bought it.

I love this little machine.
Very small footprint and excellent price. Really fast scanning and very easy to install and use. Scans two sided and scans photos like a champ. Would definitely recommend this product.

Great Value and Compact Design
I was looking for a scanner to replace my All-In-One that was taking up too much room on my physical desktop. I recommend downloading the manual as I did BEFORE buying to avoid surprises. I didn't need a wireless WIFI feature since the scanner would be next to my desktop PC. I also don't need portability but the compact size is ideal. I am surprised that it doesn't ...
