abunda_amazon_reviews It works great and as advertised. One star removed for two small quirks that make using it somewhat awkward. The company can and should fix these items. (1) The placement of the power cord is very poor. Look at it on the pictures. It attaches to the scanner right underneath where your paper comes out, so your paper gets caught in it constantly. I have to sit the scanner on top of the cord to prevent this (and it still does it sometimes). Place the power cord so it attaches at one end or the other and this would be avoided. (2) When you scan one page, the software makes you choose "OK" to scan a second sheet, or "Cancel" to end the scan. These are not words one would normally use, and it is mildly frustrating to try and remember the right one. Just change the words to "Next Page" and "Done" and it would make sense. Otherwise, it works like everyone else here said it does.;;Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2018;;4.0 out of 5 stars;;Good & two small fixes away from being great;;TuckerVC;;;Briefly, the scanner was delivered on time, in good condition and works as advertised on my MacBook Pro. Now, the full review… Disclaimers: I primarily use this for single page documents; at most, I’ve scanned a 14-page document. I cannot comment on the software beyond the DSmobileCapture that runs the scanner, like the BR-Receipts or Presto!PageManager. because I haven’t needed them yet. That being said, the scanner is great. It works better than I expected. The Brightness and Contrast can be adjusted to optimize the scans. The multi-page scanning is easy; just toggle the checkbox that says “Multi Page Output”. Under ‘Options’, you can also set the page orientation, for example, allowing you to scan receipts in sideways and have the files be right-side up. That may not sound impressive, but when inserting them sideways helps keep the PDFs nicely squared off, that’s a lot of documents that you WON’T have to go through turning 90° by hand. Lastly, I had been worried about feeding my documents in straight, lest the PDFs come out tilted, but it turns out not to be an issue. The DSmobileCapture software automatically finds and aligns the top edge, even if the page is fed in askew, attempting to square off the PDFs. The only annoyance I have is that you have to manually feed in EACH PAGE, instead of having them in a stack and taken up by the machine one-at-a-time. All in all, the convenience of having a portable scanner and the amount of time I now save compared to my previous scanning methods makes this well worth the money.;;Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2017;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;Worth the money;;Mark Twine;;;Currently working on attempting to restore my computer. I downloaded the software that came with this scanner. I even paid the $10 for the BR-Receipts download. After getting everything downloaded I clicked on the BR-Receipts and it immediately popped up an error telling me to uninstall software and reinstall. I uninstalled it and watched as EVERYTHING on my computer was wiped out! Years of pictures of my 6 kids growing up, all of our travels, and every file pertaining to our home business ERASED!!! The software had attached itself to every document, picture, and file so when uninstalled it deleted everything. Currently on hour 2 of trying to restore my computer from right before installing this software. What a nightmare!;;Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2018;;1.0 out of 5 stars;;Nightmare Software!!!! It ERASED my computer!;;Funshoppingmomma;;;I purchased this item so that I could digitize all my existing paper documents. None of my paper docs were in "bad" shape i.e. tears, smudges, etc. however, this cheap "scanner" was not able to scan a document that had been folded several times horizontally. The folds were standard and the document was unremarkable other than this. First off, my workspace was clean and clutter-less, with no dips, drop offs, or obstructions. I setup on a flat area to provide the minimum resistance. This scanner is incapable of scanning anything other than a document that has not been folded, creased or otherwise in less than pristine condition. I went as far as to iron, yes iron, the document in order to flatten it out and to the touch the document was as flat as a normal piece of paper. However, this was not acceptable to this scanner and after a dozen attempts on the final scan I decided to give up on that file. When opening the cover to remove the paper as directed by software, the paper tore and is now unrecoverable. This was an original signed document that cannot be replaced. The feeder will not keep the document even when feeding, no matter how perfect the placement. You can assist manually by holding the end of the paper and moving with the paper as it feeds, but who wants to do the job for the scanner? With the inability to scan through imaginary folds, the inability to produce a straight scan, the lack-luster software and the price point (very high for what you are getting) I would steer clear of this scanner and put the $105 towards something that will work as advertised.;;Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2018;;1.0 out of 5 stars;;Terrible scanner, better off in the garbage;;Jason Anders;;;I went ahead and purchased this product. PLEASE NOTE: This scanner ONLY works with Brother software. The BR-Receipts software that I purchased as an add on doesn't work well. Has many errors in it and the Brother development haven't updated the program in years. I was trying to use the receipt application on the MAC and I was forced to scan, save the file, then import it into the Receipts application. Their driver for this scanner doesn't appear in the MAC printers and scanners setting... therefore, you can't use it for other applications.;;Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2018;;1.0 out of 5 stars;;I went ahead and purchased this product. PLEASE NOTE ...;;Carlos Munoz;;;This was the best buy I ever made. It's small so it doesn't take up much room. The scanning quality is amazing! When I sent some scanned old family pictures to my "Techie" brother he thought I bought a higher priced scanner. I love it and can scan just about any size up to 8 1/2" wide.;;Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2015;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;Amazing scanning capability!;;Lynn Weiler
