Q: How does it handle documents that might have folds or creases?
A: Documents can not be used in the ADS-2700W that's curled, wrinkled, folded, ripped, stapled, paper-clipped, pasted, or taped.
Q: Can I duplex into SLMPDF and omit blank pages through the settings menu? How fast is it?
A: I am not familiar with SLMPDF, but here is my experience. I scanned a 3 page document with blank backs in 2 sided mode. The scanner scanned them and the PDF document appeared on my Mac in 6 seconds with the blank pages removed. That six seconds included the scanning of each page, transmission of the pages to my Mac via WiFi, the removal of the blank pages and the saving of the file to the Mac file system on the SSD. I would not call this a "production scanner" for an office full of people, but for home use it is pretty nice so far.
A: Your question made me curious so I gave it a try. First I scanned one color photo set to 600 dpi. The scan added a slightly reddish cast to the picture and there is no way to adjust for it in the driver software. I thought it still quite acceptable and otherwise quite accurate. Then I tried a stack of ten 2 1/2" X 3 1/2" black and white photos from the late 50"s with the scanner set to 600 dpi and gray-scale scanning and default settings otherwise. It scanned all ten perfectly, without any skewing or other issues. I found the quality to be quite acceptable. A dedicated flatbed might do a slightly better job when both scans are compared head to head but also with a lot more time and trouble.
Q: does it scan to pdf and jpeg
A: Yes, the Brother ADS-2700W can scan to PDF and JPEG.
Q: Does this scanner copy both sides of a page at once?
A: Yes, the ADS-2700W copies both sides of a page at once and beautifully so!
Q: Can receipts be scanned through this product or does anyone know of a receipt scanning product?
A: Receipts scan through this machine rapidly and efficiently.
A: The Brother ADS-2700W machine scans to multiple destinations including File; Image, OCR; Email, Network, USB flash drive; and mobile devices, is compatible with Windows, Mac®; and Linux®; and TWAIN/SANE/WIA for PC drivers.
Q: If I scan 50 pages, can I separate and stack before saving as separate files?
A: Yes, the Brother ADS-2700W scanner allows you to separate and stack scanned documents before saving them as separate files. For more information, feel free to contact Brother Customer Service directly.
