Brother DS-740D Duplex Compact Mobile Document Scanner

Good Scanner

I have good experience with previous Brother products, and this scanner, fortunately, was no exception. Decent quality of scanned documents, good scan speed, easy setup (macOS Catalina), and intuitive operation.

Muito fácil de instalar e muito prático de usar! 100% satisfeito!

Use for work on the go, super easy, user friendly, works way better than I expected it to.

I've been using sheetfed scanners for many years (since the earlier Visioneer/Paperport models) and this has been the best one yet. In fact, after using it for 3 years, I don't really see a reason to replace it like I have others. I had the previous Brother model with was nice but still had room for improvement. The design of this scanner is a major improvement over any previous sheetfed scanner I've had. Specifically, the cleaning is SO much easier. I haven't had to clean it as often as others, but when I do it is incredibly easy. Just tilt the top piece open and you have clear access to rollers and scanning service! Compared to having to remove shell pieces, lifting up rollers and shoving a cotton swab into and dragging it from side to side, this designed was reason enough to upgrade. As for the rest of it, I don't really have much to complain about. Double sided scanning works well and is definitely a time saver, and the quality of the scanning is good (I scan documents only, no photos). I also like the compact size and the straight paper path. During scanning some times it will cut off a part of the document if it has a very dark color along the lead or trailing edge (common with these scanners) even while scanning in color, and when scanning in grayscale it seems almost impossible to get a scan where the white is actually white. It seems to scan in very low contrast even if I boost the contrast in settings. I have found it easier to scan first in color and then convert to grayscale afterwards (the scanning speeds it he same for color/grayscale).
