Super easy
Set up was super easy. Settings can be changed to scan multiple pages and save as PDF so this has been wonderful for scanning work documents.

Not for pictures
I bought it to scan pictures at 600 dpi and the maximum it did was 300dpi and the quality was awful. So I returned it.

Your device are not easy to use.
Guys, I am a IT person of 40 years. The brother devices are hard to work with. You have to make the device easy to use. I brought a printer from you guys. HL-L2370DW.

Good hardware, inconvenient software
The scanner is quite good, but the software is very inconvenient.
1) Each workflow takes a square inch of the screen. I have more than 20 so it is hard to find the one I want. The list SHOULD be customizable like Windows Explorer - small icons, big icons, list with details, sortable by date, name, or number of images in the folder.
2) The workflows aren't displayed in ...

An Excellent Performing Portable Scanner
I was very pleasantly surprised with just how portable yet very efficient the DS-640 scanner is. Being executor for an out of state estate I had over 40 documents to scan for legal matters and needed an inexpensive scanner quickly to get the job done. Installation was very easy with clear and easily understood instructions. (There are also several good YouTube instructi...

Efficient little scanner
I bought this scanner to scan receipts so I can track purchases for a senior center that I volunteer at. It was easy to set up and use. Best part it wasn't overly expensive. Works really well.

DS-640 portable scanner
The scan resolution is very good and I like the portability of the unit. The software could have more features, but the scanner itself is worth it.

Not as Easy as I Thought
The scanner is fairly easy to use. The problems I have encountered is doing multiple scans at once. I cannot figure out how to do that. The other problem is finding where the scans are.

Not nearly as practical as an Epson
Quite disappointed in the scanner in comparison to an Epson DS-30 which I owned for 12 years. The DS-640 has to be reconnected to the computer each time I launch the scanning app. Additionally, the scanning app requires clicking through several screens to just save a scan. Way more cumbersome that the Epson Scan app. The only positive is that it scans quicker than the E...
