Brother - ADS-1500W Compact Wireless Color Duplex Desktop Scanner with Web Connectivity - White

It can only hold a small amount of papers and if you put 3 or more papers in at one time, It eats some of them and tears the ends of the paper. Also when you try to print from your computer, the scanner picks up the signal instead of the printer, so the printer never gets the print job you sent it. You have to turn off the scanner in order for the printer to pick up the print job. I run a paper free company and everything is scanned in. If this is you then this scanner isn't the one. I would recommend the ADS-2000. It's not wireless but its works, and works well. They make a wireless ADS-2000W but its too high right now.

In my quest to find a decent duplex scanner I gave this one a shot. It didn't work so hot. Paper was always getting jammed. Pulled 3 or 5 sheets at a time, then jammed. Consistently. I really wanted to like this scanner. But in the end it was way too flawed. I can overlook a lot of minor details but this one just plain didn't work.

Scanner can be slow when scanning color documents in wireless mode. It is faster when using the supplied USB cable. Tends to jam sometimes when scanning multiple pages that are crisp. Overall it is decent scanner. It came with Paperport SE 12. I haven't used other scanning software so I find this software decent. Paperport SE 12 also sees the scanner on my officejet. I have not used it with the officejet and eventually will to do the light scanning.

If you are looking for a scanner for at home use, I'd suggest buying a printer with a built in scanner. If you're looking for a scanner to use at work for medium usage (daily, but not hundreds of pages), I would NOT recommend this one. This scanner has only the capability to handle very light scanning (maybe 10 pages a week), but if you're only looking for light scanning, why buy a $250 scanner?? -There is no set up required for the scanner, just plug a few cords in. -Installation of software was a bit of a longer process, but still nothing crazy. -It scans a little slowly. It claims to scan 18ppm, but if you're scanning at 300dpi or higher, expect closer to 10 ppm. -Pro: the image quality is decent! -It advertises duplex scanning, which is nice, but you would naturally assume that it has the capability to scan single sided pages - wrong. If you want to scan single sided sheets to a network (versus USB) it will NOT let you. (If you want to scan single sided sheets via USB it will work). I spoke to customer service and was told that this is just "a limitation of the device". How is it that the device can scan single sided sheets to a PC but not to a network? This is a major flaw in the product if this is ever to be used for anything other than a home scanner (to which again I would ask why a $250 scanner for your home?). This product can't be used by small businesses or offices looking to scan documents to shared networks. -The device feels very flimsy. The plastic feeder that puts the paper through the scanner snaps into place but feels like if you apply any pressure at all it will snap in two. -The device gets jammed easily. A simple fix, but still a pain. -Sometimes it just quits working and you have to power it off and on -After about four hours of toggling with it (and maybe scanning a total of 30 pages), it refused to scan anything. The screen would read "scanning" for about a minute without doing anything and then would simply return to the home page. While I'm sure this was just a bad device in this aspect, it says a lot about the model as a whole. Returning this product as soon as possible.

Only had this scanner for a few weeks now but so far it has worked very well. I scan 6 - 12 documents a day to send to different members of a non profit organization. The wi fi capability is very nice. A little tricky to setup but that's true for most wi fi connections. Overall setup was fairly simple. Came with some nice software packages that help you scan and manage documents. The scan speed is very fast compared to the all in one printer/scanners I have been using and the scan quality is very good. I can easily read all the fine print of scanned documents. Overall I'm very happy with this product.

I really like this scanner although I have not used it full capabilities. I used to scan a page at a time on my printer scanner, so it took a while to scan things. Now with this scanner I could scan multiple pages quickly and it also scans both sides. I have only used it while its hooked up to the computer but it could also scan to a flash drive if your sitting in front of tv and don't have it connect. I really recommend this product to people that want to go paper less.

Not Brother Quality. Paper jams often. Okay travel scanner but not worth the price. Worth $125 in quality. Not what I paid.

The scanner is fairly simple to use. It seems to deliver what was advertised on the box. The applications are descent but could use a little more improvement to function more intuitively. For example, scanned business cards don't line up very well. Older similar programs have shown that business card scanning and data collection can be streamlined to be intuitive and immediately useful. Overall, the product gets what it essentially was purchased for at a descent price.
