QuestionIs this scanner compatible with windows 11? Also what kind of plastic cover is being used for fragile items as shown in the video?
Asked 3 years ago by DogMom.
- Answer Yes, this is compatible with Windows 11. The cover is fairly thin, but it works well. The cover is not for fragile items though. It is so you can put it against the wall and save space. With the cover closed it goes straigt out the back. With it open it goes in and come out the top.

QuestionCan I use WIFI or Bluetooth to scan or is there another model that allows WIFI or Bluetooth for scanning to other devices?
Asked 3 years ago by rajbyn.
- Answer The Brother DS740D does not support Wi-Fi or Bluetooth scanning. A similar model that does support scanning with Wi-Fi would be the DS-940DW. This model doesn't support Bluetooth but has the Wi-Fi direct feature which will allow you to print wirelessly from a mobile device without a router similar to Bluetooth.
