Yes, ADS1700W can be used as a photo scanner using the PaperPort Software. Here is a FAQ with steps. https://help.brother-usa.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/137646?R3ModelID=ADS1700W
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Not sure why someone from "Brother" answered yes to this question....I looked at the manual for this unit and it clearly states that Photo Paper is NOT an acceptable paper for this scanner. Hope this helps someone.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Because of the way the documents feed into the scanner, I don't think this would do a great job scanning photos. I suspect the end result would frequently be streaky or come out a warped size or uneven. I think a scanner with a flat bed would produce a better result for scanning photos.
