Answered by Ken1
Q: QuestionWill this scan photos? How many at a time?(3 answers)
A: AnswerYes it will scan photo's. You can choose between three setting (B/W. color and auto). Not sure if you can stack up to 20 photographs when scanning or not. AS a note you can change the settings for dpi. For photographs my wife and I choose 600 and 300 dpi. We do love the scanner. Very easy setup and we use it with a desktop and chromebook via wi-fi connectionAnswered by Craig

Q: QuestionDoes this require you to use one of their services or can you scan straight to a PC?(3 answers)
A: AnswerI use it with a MacBook. Had to download an app, but it scanned straight to computer otherwise. Did not need to use their service (unless you count a very basic app a service). I suspect that's true of a PC too.Answered by kkdeluca
- A: AnswerYes, I'm running mine wired. I have it plugged into my docking station via USB. It does also require a separate power cord unlike some scanners that will get power through a USB cord.

Q: Questionis this scanner twain compatible and good for medical electronic health records?(2 answers)
A: AnswerYes, when I downloaded the drivers from the Brother support site, I downloaded Twain (which includes the ICA drivers) works fine on my Mac Catalina OS. Yes I scan my own medical records, and it is good enough for medical record keeping as long as you use a reasonable resolution such as 300 x 300, for images maybe even 400 x 400 or 600 x 600. Good luck.Answered by MajorScanner

Quality scanner
Well it took awhile to figure out how to get the unit to work. Web site info did not do much for wi-fi setup. Went and bought the usb cable and was finally able to download the drivers and software. After much frustration it is a good scanner. Compact, fast, and for the price it does a good job. Easy to save files where you want them. If you are like me and not a Tech wizard, be prepared to be frustrated for a short while.

Travelling & need a portable scanner in your bag. Maybe. Home Office: One page documents, usually OK. Multiple page docs: Will scan first few pages - then stops. Ooops. Something went wrong - Please Start Over. Scans the first 8 pages then crashes/ After a year and a half of wanting - so badly - to like it. Other than an old VCR it is the most unreliable piece of equipment in the house.

Excellent Portable Scanner
First off this is a very well put together high quality scanner, love the 2.8 color touch screen makes things easier as you can actually use it without a PC and the paper support is pretty sturdy. There are many scan options including the ability to scan to your mobile phone, and to a USB drive which is an excellent option for quick on the go scanning, I see myself using this feature a lot. The scanning process it does it very fast, I guess is all about the feeder it is fast. I also like the option that lets you do automatic scanning it feels like you're using a shredder, just place the papers and watch it go. On the top of the scanner you have 4 buttons, Power, Back, Home and the Cancel. There is a dedicated switch that allows you to go from paper to the dedicated card slot for cards scanning which is pretty neat. The scanning files are on par with other scanners you can switch from different resolution and files extensions. The touch screen allows add scanning shortcuts which is very useful if you use an specific setting all the time, just touch and scan, very nice. It is a portable scanner and it weights a little over 3 pounds, and it does fit perfect in a computer travel bag. This scanner is also the perfect option for small desk with limited space. So far, the only con I found on this device is that it does not have a rechargeable battery for true mobility, so that mean you will always need a power outlet near you. The setup was pretty much plug and play on windows 10, on the mobile side I used they proprietary Brother’s app on Android OS which will prompt you to find for the Wi-Fi printer after launch or you can use the Direct Wi-Fi option. I did not encounter any issues such as paper jam, it worked very smoothly and fast. In the very well over foamed packed box it comes with the scanner, USB cable, power cord, and manuals. If don’t mind traveling with 3 extra pounds and the need of a power outlet, this scanner is a top notch to get the work done, and for a small office or small desk this is perfect as well.
