ADF scanner

Comparably good to my 12 year old SnapScan at a quarter the price for half its 50ppm. Reliable, high-quality, error-free, complete with all software for document management, setup of advanced functions and troubleshooting. It took >5 days to archive old returns >60 pages, 5+ credit cards and 10 receipts on different sizes of thermal paper. Japanese quality scanner from China. Pros: 25 pages per minute, measured by me, ADF for 8x11 paper, receipts and credit cards in one feed. Adjustable…

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model

This techie loves it

I needed a way to help a family member scan a large filing cabinet. After much research this turned out to be the best option in its price range and to say I'm impressed is an understatement. The software has been updated to the latest version of macOS (10.15) and works great. Однако самым важным для меня является возможность сканирования непосредственно на флэш-накопитель, который также отлично работает — настройки по умолчанию для этого — сканирование всех страниц в устройстве подачи…

Driver download instructions require clarity

As with other reviews, the download and usage instructions are not obvious or specific. Once on the Brother website I was able to download the driver to my Macbook Pro on the first try. However, I had to read the instructions several times before I could continue. The driver download link for the 1200 was in the EUR (Europe) column, not the US. After downloading the driver and application, everything else was easy. I tested the product and the result was legal. Fast and accurate. You'll have to

Pros
  • This is great
Cons
  • I will write more later

How to screw up a decent scanner - have a terrible software experience

Mac with Catalina - brother's driver site looks like it has versions that support it, but it won't install or not working properly. The included manual is useless except to provide a download URL. There are two drivers TWAIN and ICA, and there are no recommendations for choosing. iScan is also there and looks like it will complete the installation but the app is nowhere to be found. Selecting an older OS instead of 10.15 led me to where it directed the app download from the Apple Store and it…

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine

Portable, double-sided, fast document scanner at a great price!

My job requires me to be constantly on the move, meeting new clients remotely and collecting tons of confidential documents. With the Brother ADS-1200, I can pop the scanner in my work backpack, meet up with clients anywhere there's a power outlet, and get to work. The scanner is truly plug and play; Most of the time, however, I use the direct-to-USB-flash-drive feature, which eliminates the need to connect the scanner to a PC or laptop. So far the Brother ADS-1200 has been able to scan batches

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Angry

Honest review, software and machine

I read the reviews and thought 🤔 don't know if I can figure it out. Brother's software wasn't immediately obvious, but once I found it, it wasn't a problem. There are 2 softwares. 1 to scan and 1 to arrange a receipt. The receipt needs updating and one of the techies might find out. But the scanning software turned out to be very handy. Now let's get to the car. WOW! Super fast, scans both sides in one pass. I sometimes forget to flip the lever to scan business cards and documents, but other…

Pros
  • Scanner and accessories
Cons
  • No performance

Good value for money, OCR function hidden in this software jungle

Overall a good scanner. Price and functionality are unbeatable. I'm a Mac user (MacOS 10.13.6), I've had a hard time identifying the 3 software needed for everything this scanner can do. This device can scan regular 8.5" x 11" documents, receipts (big plus!) and LONG receipts. (longer than 14 inches). However, these three different types of things require three different types of software. 1. Image Capture 2. BR Receipts 3. Brother Iprint&Scan. THREE DIFFERENT SOFTWARE. It can recognize the…

Pros
  • Office products
Cons
  • Obsolete model
