Review: Impressed with the performance given the size and price - I confess to being sceptical, having read a few reviews of this, but overall I've been impressed. The unit is highly portable. As another reviewer mentioned, there's no case (not even a cloth one) to protect it, which might be a detractor given its intended portability. I bought this as a cheap scanner to digitise a number of reports more quickly than using my existing (old) flatbed. Windows 11 recognised the device immediately, but I downloaded the software bundle from the Brother website in order to use the main scanning utility and update the firmware, the latter of which was quick and simple. I didn't install either the PaperPort software or Kofax Power PDF standard, the latter of which is only a free trial. Changing the scanning settings is really easy in the iPrint&Scan software, and creating a single document from multiple pages is straightforward having ticked the Continuous Scan option in the settings under Feed Control. Using this, it's a simple case of pushing the next page into the scanner after the last and the unit automatically pulls it in. Once you're done, hit Finish and the PDF save options appear. I scanned a 50 page (single sided) report, generating a single searchable PDF, in about 5 minutes. This is much quicker than the hour or so I'd anticipate it would take to do the same on my flatbed scanner. The quality of the document at 300x300 dpi was good; plenty sufficient for a document. Invariably a flatbed scanner (and one more modern than mine) would produce higher resolution images, which is possibly an advantage for scanning photos, but for quick and decent scans of documents and images this is perfect. I only have two "niggles" with this product: a) the paper guide slider moves very easily, which can make the paper feed in slightly crooked, although the de-skew function is good here, and with a little practice it didn't prove and issue. I used a small piece of blu tack just to hold it in place, which worked fine. b) the PDF creation software doesn't have a great compression algorithm. The 50 page PDF I created was 20mb. I ran it through ABBYY PDF editor and even on high quality it shrunk it down to around 4mb. Overall, I would recommend this product if you want a decent portable scanner that'll make digitising documents quick and easy. If you want high resolution scans of photos, you're going to want a flatbed. Review: Fabulous little scanner - I hate paperwork and hate huge scanners that take up valuable desk space, so I got this. I was purchasing a small property for my son and was bombarded with forms to fill in by the solicitor. So I got this. It took about 10 minutes to install on my Windows 10 laptop. I plugged in the scanner, it was detected by the Brother software. I put the paper face up on the desk and clicked scan. It quickly scanned the sheet, then I clicked add page. After 5 pages I clicked save to location, and breathed a sigh of relief. A few more documents and the whole job was done in about 15 minutes, and the scanner is stored away ready for the next set of documents to scan. For around £80 it was fab. Job done. Highly recommended. ## Features - SMALL AND COMPACT DESIGN: The small and compact design, makes the DSmobile DS-640 ideal where space is limited, A great option for reception areas and working on the go - MAXIMISE PRODUCTIVITY WHILST ON THE MOVE: Easily scan documents up to 15 pages per minute - GREAT FOR PORTABILITY: Powered directly with USB3.0 for portability, so can be used in-field, on the train or when working remotely - VERSATILE: Easily scan A4 documents, receipts and ID cards - INDUSTRY LEADING SOFTWARE: The DS-640 includes a valuable package of scanning software to help you manage and distribute information as well as reduce the need to store and reference hard copy documents ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B083ML7X9B | | Best Sellers Rank | 8,997 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) 9 in Document Scanners | | Box Contents | 1 piece | | Brand Name | Brother | | Color Depth | Output: 24bit Bits | | Country of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (1,938) | | EU Spare Part Availability Duration | 2 Years | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04977766800495 | | Greyscale Depth | 8-bit | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 7.6D x 16.2W x 37.7H centimetres | | Item Type Name | Portable Document Scanner | | Item Weight | 390 Grams | | Manufacturer | Brother | | Media Type | Business Card, ID Card, Paper, Photo, Receipt | | Minimum System Requirements | Windows, macOS | | Model Name | DS-640 | | Network Connectivity Technology | USB, 3.1 Gen 1 | | Optical Sensor Technology | Other | | Product Warranty | 3 Years | | Resolution | 1200 dpi | | Scanner Type | Handheld scanner | | Standard Sheet Capacity | 1 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Wattage | 2.3 watts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Brother - **Colour depth:** Output: 24bit Bits - **Connectivity technology:** USB, 3.1 Gen 1 - **Item weight:** 390 Grams - **Model name:** DS-640 - **Product dimensions:** 7.6D x 16.2W x 37.7H centimetres - **Resolution:** 1200 dpi - **Scanner type:** Handheld scanner - **Standard sheet capacity:** 1 - **Wattage:** 2.3 watts ## Images ![Brother DS-640 Document Scanner, USB 3.0, DSMobile, Portable, 15PPM, A4 Scanner, Includes Micro USB Cable, White - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51M0-9ixsxL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this scanner battery powered?** A: The DSmobile DS-640 scanner is powered by the USB connection of the computer used when scanning. **Q: Does this model scan double-sided or single-sided only?** A: The DSmobile DS-640 is a single-sided scanner, for double-sided scan see the DS-740D or DS-940DW. **Q: If you have a document of 10 pages will it save the pages as one document or multiple pages?** A: The scanner will create a multi or single page document.

Highly recommended. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ It doesn't works with Passport. *by W***A on 1 December 2025* It doesn't work with Passport. I couldn't find any reviews mentioning passport compatibility, so I bought it and gave it a try! It's easy to install and use, fast (2 seconds per page), and efficient. It doesn't make noise, and the scanner produces high-quality, excellent image results, but it lacks Bluetooth connectivity for smartphones. Overall a good choice for documents only. ## Frequently Bought Together - Brother DS-640 Mobile Scanner | A4 | USB Power | 15 ppm | Color | Black/White | Dsmobile | Scan to USB - XANAD Hard Case for Brother DS-640D / DS-740 / DS-940DW / DS-720D / Doxie Go SE Document Scanner (Grey Lining) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tw/products/188160357-brother-ds-640-document-scanner-usb-3-0-dsmobile-portable](https://www.desertcart.tw/products/188160357-brother-ds-640-document-scanner-usb-3-0-dsmobile-portable) --- *Product available on Desertcart Taiwan* *Store origin: TW* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
