Device itself is small and compact, which is AWESOME since I love having desk real estate. Clutter is not my friend, hence the reason for a document scanner that has a feeder. Setup: Extremely easy: plug in, turn on, set date/time, connect to WiFi (I went wireless) Software Install: Install all drives and firmware updates The instructions provided: Horrible. Tells you how to plug it in and where the date/time settings are. The rest is up to you! Scanning documents: So this took a little to get used to on the process. Be patient because it's really worth it in the end. Today is day 0, so I haven't setup the process to click an option on the scanner and it sends to to the network or my computer. I went with the trigger from computer. Kind - this allows you to scan Text, Black & White or Color DPI is up to 600 Size - paper size, this has some different settings, but most of my stuff is standard 8.5x11 (letter) Orientation (this is a cool feature) Duplex - I had NO clue what this was, but after testing it scans back and front in one shot. You can pick where to scan it to You can name your file before you start the scan Format: Pick from various options; I'm a PDF kind of guy. You can combine the scans to a single document Image Correction - haven't used, but I have it set on None. Scanning steps (that works for me): Open the app on the computer Place your documents front facing the feed tray Pick your settings on the app Click Scan To scan new documents CLOSE THE APP!! I made this mistake and it was appending it to the previously scanned document. Which brings to light a COOL feature, say you have 500 documents; clearly you can't fit them all on the feed tray so you break it into batches of 25 (20 batches) but it should be all in one document. Scan your 25 documents, put your new 25 documents in the feed tray and scan. This will APPEND to the file. I originally gave it a 4 star ease of use because it took me some time to really figure out how to use it since the instructions are purely out of the box setup. After my trial and error period, if I could give it 30 stars, I really would. This is the best $200 spent on a portable and compact scanner. Happy Scanning!

This is my second Brother Scanner that I have bought, one is in Australia and this one follows me around NZ. I have to say it was so easy to setup with my frequently used email addresses. I am NOT tech savvy but I had it up and running within 15 minutes of unpacking it. It scans up to 13 or 14 sheets for me, although the manual says 20 sheets. When its not in use it is very easy to pack up and store away until I need it again. I have bought the little carry case for my NZ scanner which is well worth the cost. Overall, I am extremely happy and impressed with how well this little scanner works. It does not take a big footprint off my desk top, its not heavy and it doesnt WASTE any of my time trying to use it. So overall I give it a AAAA++++++++ rating as I rely on the use of scanners every day of my week with my work.

I have owned the Brother ADS1700W since November 2019 and it was worked well up until July 2022. So, 2 1/2 years of decent functioning has been a benefit. I have a small tax practice so documents are at the center of what I do. Document retention, creating PDFs, and sending electronic documents to clients are all very important. A rating of 4 stars is appropriate from me but be aware that I haven't used the Workflow or Network functions and I rarely play around with Settings. The software is fine but also I am simple: I make difference resolution and 2-sided choices and that is about it for how much of the product I know. This unit is easy to use; I like the interface and screen. It is not complicated. This unit will NOT take many documents and any time you have more than 10-12 pieces of paper there is a decent chance of a jam. (More than once the jam occurred, and I had to start completely over. Aaargggh.) I admit to forcing more pieces of paper than But I'm writing now because I CAN'T LOCATE A REPLACEMENT SEPARATOR. The separation pad needs to be replaced every 10,000 scans. (I don't think I have reached that limit yet but the counter is probably right.) Who sells parts? - Amazon doesn't carry the separation pad. Ebay - after a search of five minutes I gave up. and the BROTHER WEBSITE IS UNDERGOING MAINTENACE; it has been down for 48 hours. Aaargghhh. This product was highly rated over at Wirecutter.

I purchased the Brother Wireless Document Scanner, ADS-1700W, for my home office and it's proven to be an invaluable asset. Right from the unboxing, the setup was intuitive and straightforward, making it operational within minutes. The scanner boasts fast scan speeds which are crucial when dealing with a heap of documents. The wireless feature is a major plus, allowing me to scan documents directly to my mobile device or cloud storage, making it ideal for on-the-go professionals. The quality of scans is impressive with clear, sharp images and text. I appreciate the touchscreen LCD which simplifies the operation, and the automatic document feeder which can handle 20 pages is a time-saver. The compact design of the scanner is a space-saver, yet it does not compromise on the functionality. I also found the dual paper trays and duplex printing features quite useful for different scanning needs. The scanner has a variety of connectivity options which is great for a modern workspace. The only downside I experienced was the initial connectivity setup with my network, but once that was resolved, it's been smooth sailing. The Brother ADS-1700W is a reliable, efficient, and user-friendly scanner that meets the demands of a busy professional. The price is reasonable considering the features and the brand reputation. I would highly recommend this scanner to anyone in need of a high-quality, convenient scanning solution.

This machine is ok. I've been using it for over a year. It's fast when scanning 300dpi and handles slightly bent or creased paper well without jamming. The software is terrible. It is bloated and convoluted. It consumes over 1GB of storage. While storage isn't scarce these days, that's a lot of resources for an application that scans documents. I have not been able to get the "scan to PC" to work on multiple Windows machines. The driver installation is either flaky or broken causing the software not to work as designed. There is no scanning capabilities from the web console, one must use the Brother iPrint&Scan software. While the TWAIN drivers do exist, they don't work very well with Adobe Acrobat Pro (that is installed with Creative Cloud), notably no two-sided scanning. The sheet feeder often allows the page(s) to skew, so all of my scans are angled. I had to rig up something to align the pages so this would be reduced. Some downsides with the machine are no Wi-Fi 5GHz, it only supports 2.4GHz WPA2. It won't connected to SMB v3 network shares, so I have to downgrade my network storage devices to support version 1 or 2, exposing my network to known vulnerabilities with these older SMB versions. There is no paper tray to catch output sheets, I had to build something to keep papers from flying out of the machine onto the floor. Sometimes the feeder mechanism allows pages to become misaligned and skewed. Occasionally, the software completely loses track of the scanner. I can reach the IP, but the software can't. I'm ready to toss this scanner. I would not recommend it to anyone. The painful software, the paper feeder system, and lack of output tray is why.

This is a slick little scanner that works quickly and very well. If you're planning to connect it to your computer via USB you'll need a micro B cable, as it does not include one. Initially I was bummed about this because though I planned to use the scanner with Wifi, when I went to setup the scan-to-network share feature, the scanner's menu informed me I had to set that up from my computer. So I assumed I would have to plug it in and went searching for a cable and for the right software on Brother's web site. Thankfully, you don't actually have to plug it into a computer to set it up and you don't need to download any Brother software either, depending on your use case. You can setup wifi directly from the scanner's touchscreen, then use any web browser from a computer on the same network to access the scanner over Wifi to complete setup of more advanced features without a USB connection. I had to Google the default password for the scanner's web interface (turns out it's printed on a label on the bottom of each scanner), but once I had that I was able to login and configure the various options. Now all I have to do is drop a sheet of paper (or up to 20) directly into the automatic document feeder on the scanner and it automatically performs a duplex scan, skips blank pages, converts it to a PDF and drops it on a network share without pressing a single button. Once it's all setup it is super fast and very easy to use. I highly recommend this. It's worth the extra money to get a true Wifi scanner if you want wireless scanning to network storage.

I had a devil of a time setting up this scanner. It offers about six ways to control the scanner. For two reasons, I wanted was to scan to a shared folder on the local area network: so, all of our computers could make use of the scanner, and we could operate the scanner while sitting down with it, as it resides in a separate room with other network equipment. So, I wanted to sit down at the scanner, ask it to scan, see that it did so successfully, and then walk to the computer in another room to access the produced pdf file. We use Apple computers and the difficulty in setting up the scanner had to do with setting up a separate, limited account for the scanner, opening up the firewall just enough to let the scanner in, ownership, and file permissions, and more. Particularly difficult was figuring out the correct path name that the scanner would use to find the shared folder. After much searching, I found an example that immediately led to the solution. It took me two days and about 12 hours to get it working. It would have been faster if Brother's documentation or help site showed an example of the folder path for my circumstance. After setup, it has been a beauty. I have used it for a week, and I wonder how I ever got along without a document scanner. It is fast, it is small, and it produces high quality PDF files. If it shows the reliability that my Brother printer and old phone fax machine have demonstrated, I will be very happy.

Three stars or five stars? It pains me a bit to give it three stars, but since it didn't work well for my uses which were within the stated specifications I'm going to give it a qualified three stars so others won't make the same mistake. Really though, in every other way and for the vast majority of applications this is really a five star product. Do to the design of the feed path (which is curved) and the document feeder/holder (which does not continuously support the trailing edge of the document all the way to the roller) when thicker sheets are scanned the trailing edge "snaps" as it slides off the document feeder support. This "snap" causes the document to slip slightly in the feed rollers causing an ugly scan artifact/glitch across the document about one inch from its trailing edge. The above issue does not occur to any significant degree with more typical thin paper such as bills. However, modestly heavier paper (but well within the scanner's specified handling range) will cause this artifact to varying degrees depending on the paper weight and how glossy it is. So this is probably a non-issue for the vast majority of users. I, unfortunately, have about 500 pages of heavier weight paper to scan and this was a bit of a show stopper. I validated that it was mostly down to the design of the folder document feeder/holder by creating a Rube Goldberg feeder of my own that fed pages better supported underneath the folding document holder. By doing this I could eliminate the horizontal scanning artifact but it was not a practical solution for scanning a large number of documents. Glossy and somewhat rigid sheets can also slip a bit at the start of the scan causing text to be vertically stretched and the lower part of the scan to be cut off if the scan is preset to a particular page size rather than set for "Auto". The above issues I suspect come down to a necessary trade for compactness. The folding document holder isn't ideal, but of course it folds to make the thing compact. The curved feed path similarly compromises performance on certain documents but again is likely required to keep the small footprint. The above issues largely do not affect readability, so if just scanning for records even these thicker documents are successfully captured to the point they are readable. Again, none of the above appears to apply to more typical thin papers. So from a design perspective they seem to have struck a reasonable balance in performance vs compactness. But be warned, despite the fact the scanner can successfully feed and scan the thicker papers it is specified for, such scans will have horizontal artifacts across them about an inch above the bottom edge. Also note the hardware design here is not unique to Brother and this exact same hardware (with minor cosmetic variations) is sold with different firmware features by a variety of brands (e.g. Epson ES-300W) which will certainly have the same compromises. In my opinion the Brother version reviewed here packs in way more useful features than the competing products based on the same hardware platform. Feature wise this thing is a dream! I was able to set it up on my network scanning to a directory on my NAS without ever having to connect the scanner to a computer or install a single driver. Connected it to my WiFi using the display on the scanner and then connected to its web page for further configuration. Really the thing is a delight to use as other reviewers have stated and it is feature packed compared to the competing products. Definitely a five star product if sticking to thinner weight papers. Hence my hesitation to give this only three stars. But I did end up returning it even after extensive research before purchasing it, so just a warning to those with a similar use case to mine.
