Worked Great Initially - Now not working

Brother has a good reputation with its scanners so I decided to pick this one up. This was a nice little scanner, easy to set up and worked fine for a couple of months. Recently I tried scanning a document and the whole page appeared black.

Duplex Scanning Saves Tim

Reliability Questionable

Tricky to feed; uneven software

Need to practice to get the sheets to go in straight. Smaller than full-size sheets are even trickier; smaller items (like receipts) are impossible unless you use the plastic sleeve.

* duplex scanning * small; portable; no power brick required * easy to use * works well on photos

* tricky to feed sheets in straight * using plastic sleeve reduces contrast of scan * included software can be confusing * does not auto reverse upon jam * grey scale scan quality only so-so

Very nice product - A+

This is a very nice non-color scanner. It is very easy to use, basically a plug and play. I use it a lot to scan documents that need to be retained for my job.

Extra comment

I've already commented on the item purchased. I forgot to add a comment about your service, which was excellent. I suddenly needed a scanner quickly, and identified the Brother portable. I ordered one from your website at around 4.00pm one day and it was delivered at 10.00am the next.

An inexpensive portable scanner, but the competition is worth the extra cash
