Review on πŸ“ˆ Boost Efficiency with Brother ADS-2700W Wireless High-Speed Desktop Document Scanner: Touchscreen LCD & Duplex Scanning by Jorge Kumar

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Easy setup and sufficient performance

A true small business owner is writing this review. many 1 and 2 stars. I run a real estate agency and we have to scan receipts on a monthly basis. My HP laser printer/scanner eventually stopped scanning from the ADF (still printing fine), so I decided to buy a dedicated scanner rather than try to fix my $150+ HP multi-page scan feature. My research came down to this ADS-2700. Auto and 1600 Fujitsu. I chose Brothers as they looked like a simplified version of Fujitsu that had more bells and whistles with their software (which I don't need). My scanning requirements are simple as I scan several hundred 8 1/2 x 11 sheets at the end of each month. The Brothers machine was easy to set up with my WiFi and I was scanning within 25 minutes. I didn't need the USB cable recommended in the instructions. I just connected the scanner to my wifi using a Dell laptop. It required a few extra steps in the remote setup feature to set up a preferred scan folder (much easier than the original HP setup), but for those looking for a basic scanner at a slightly affordable price this seems like the ticket to be. I didn't need technical support so I left this feedback section blank. The touch screen is small but big enough for my needs. Once the machine is set up, I just hit the quick scan button, so the size of the touchscreen doesn't matter. The machine is compact and stands well on a shelf by the table. I will let you know if the machine breaks or gives me a headache but for now I am happy with my purchase.

Pros

Cons
