Customers are mixed about the ease of setup.

116 customers mention46 positive70 negative

Customers are mixed about the quality of the scanner. Some mention that the 1200 X 1200 DPI gives impressive quality on scans, it's well built, and reliable. However, others say that the feeder grabbed two pages at once, some pages might overlap, and it skips pages.

Customers are mixed about the performance of the scanner. Some mention that it works well, is a space saver, and does not compromise on the functionality.

38 customers mention19 positive19 negative

Customers are mixed about the connectivity of the scanner. Some mention that it's easy to use and connects wirelessly, while others say that it never could complete the connection. The instructions are sparse and it'd be difficult to hook to network and phone.

Tech Support is horrible and software is poor
1 Star
Tech Support is horrible and software is poor
So, I purchased this for the hope of scanning in receipts and they tout their Brother software in their video for that. That has been impossible task now and their customer support is the worst. Firstly, they did not renew their certificate that expired on 2/22/23 so I had to tell my browser that the site was legitimate. After that once I completed the registration to download the free software it just fails with an error message "We are unable to place you order for free download. Please try again later." So that did not provide me confidence since the English grammar was wrong. But then again Brother is not American company so I let it go. I then tried the customer support, did the chat version and after going through it with ‘Juan’ he said he had to expedite my problem to a higher level. What that meant was they had to send me step-by-step instructions on how to navigate their website to download the software, and then close the ticket. That was not helpful I already knew how to do that, and so I opened another ticket and sent them the information again. They again sent me the step-by-step pdf and closed the ticket. I then tried phone support, got someone but they don’t handle my scanner so they transferred me to limbo.In their installation package with the drivers Brother was fine to include plenty of bloatware like Power PDF that will cost me money but they couldn’t do the same for their receipt software. Sorry but that is just poor at best when you are touting that with your scanner all over the box how it will help me organize my expenses. So yeah, scanner works but nothing else that I need will be good, I will not be able to organize my expenses as hoped since a $9.99 piece of software (that’s what it says when you go to the check out for the software on Brother’s site for BR-Receipts) Brother felt should be included in the installation package.
