Review on 📱 Brother DS-740D: Portable Duplex Document Scanner for Efficient Mobile Scanning by Jermaine Shuster

Before you bought: This product did not come with a manual or other instructions. So I thought great plug and play. No way. I had to go online to download the instructions. The manual is limited and does not help in using the software. I found the scanner itself easy to use. But why should I scan something if I can't name it, adjust the settings (document or photo), dpi, or put it in a linked file so I can find it? It took 30 minutes to figure out where this thing fell on the first scan. One day I visited my brother's website, they offered me a free version of Paper Port 14 (Nuance) - no better than Windows File Explorer. All programs are difficult to use. It took me 4 days of on and off and frustration to figure out how to use the software and scanner. However, it wasn't as efficient or timely as using the big ol' HP. Only one page is rendered at a time. Eventually another screen of the software opened up for additional pages however I lost control of all my settings and settings. Finally I gave up. Didn't cry about it. Looks like a great travel size and fits in my computer bag. But why bother; I expect trouble on the street. I just threw that thing in the trash and I feel a lot better. Back to my HP scanner and no mobile scanning. If you think you're good at these things, do it.
