No way to turn it on?
This doesn't come with an AC adapter, only a USB cord. This did not deliver enough power to turn it on. Will be returning.

Never received
We have not received the scanner and Quill has not been helpful in finding it. No one has called me back with any info. In the meantime we can't scan anything. My credit card has been charged and I requested Quill to resend the scanner and my paper order but they refused.

Frustrating
I may reconsider my rating after I’m actually able to use this product. It arrived without a power cord. While I understand it’s supposed to work via the USB port, it’s not functioning for me.
The idea that I might need to purchase an entirely new computer just to use a scanner is absolutely ridiculous. To make matters worse, now it seems I’ll need to spend even more mo...

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.

great scanner for the size and price of product.
the scanning quality was really good, almost as good as one of those large printers. The printing speed was also really decent for the size of it. I did end up dropping it on my floor on accident from 5 feet up, but sustained no scratches at all. The connectivity was really easy and smooth, encountered no issues whatsoever during my usage.

Sleek and useful!
I’ve been needing a way to scan family photos and documents for safekeeping, and this scanner has been outstanding! Super easy to set up and the compact size makes it so easy to bring wherever you need it. The scan quality is great. The scanner also looks very sleek in my small home office, which I appreciate.

I got this and didn’t really know if I’d use it, but I ended up using this a lot! I’m scanning my paperwork into my computer inside of taking pictures, and it connects really easy and not flimsy!

Fast and convenient
This Brother compact scanner is really nice, it was super easy to set up and use. I had another portable scanner kinda like this but it was so slow it drove me nuts, this one is way better and faster. You can scan both sides of a document at the same time which is a nice feature. It can scan 30 pages per minute. It's powered through a usb-c cord which is really nice so ...

Compact scanner
Easy to install and quick setup. It is actually more compact than I thought it would be and light weight. This would be a nice scanner for a small desk or to use on the go in your car. I just didn’t like that the only cord included is for a USB, I had to find my own cord to be able to use with my laptop.

Impressively Compact and Efficient Scanner For On The Go Needs
The Brother ADS-1300 Portable Compact Scanner is a game-changer for my portable scanning needs. Setting it up with my Mac laptop was a breeze. Upon unboxing, I simply connected it via USB to my MacBook and followed the straightforward instructions to download the necessary software. I was pleasantly surprised that the scanner was compatible right out of the box.

Perfect little Scanner
This little scanner is pretty nifty! I had my boyfriend help me with this review. He loves to collect old photos and history papers from family and locals in the area. This scanner was perfect for him! He was able to easily scan photos, cards, and papers of multiple sizes with its adjustable holder. It’s small so it’s easy for him to carry around. He used a USB to store...
