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 product did not come with a USB cord or AC/DC adapter. The instructions said if your country isn't listed your product doesn't come with one! UGH

great scanner for the size and price of product.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 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 whatso...

Sleek and useful!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 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.

Great
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 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 review was collected as part of a promotion.] 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 p...

Compact scanner
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 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.

Scan Documents Into Your Laptop From Anywhere
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had to download software before getting started, but that is to be expected. You power the scanner from your laptop through USB-C. It scans multiple documents quickly, only needing one pass for even double-sided documents. This was true for every document I scanned.
