Brother Easy-to-Use Compact Desktop Scanner, ADS-1200, Fast Scan Speeds, Ideal for Home, Home Office or On-The-Go Professionals

The product was of genuine and good. and the support services from the seller were very much appreciated.

I bought this scanner in order to make up for the inconvenience of using my older huge HP-Officejet Pro 8600 All-In-One printer. Its been a great scanner no question about it. But turning it on, waiting for it to warm up, and much of the time turning on my desktop computer, can have its drawbacks. I wanted something that I could connect to my laptop and quickly scan other documents, receipt, etc. I had been 'eyeing' many of these portable scanners via Amazon, most of which had these great reviews. After too much searching did I finally come down to this one which seemed to be the winner of cost and features. Despite the fact that the stupid mailman threw the package over my 7-foot fence and landed on the lawn, this Brother ADS-1200 seems to have worked okay. I am very happy with it and I am very impressed with its convenience and use. Although the Officejet Pro 8600 is still capable of scanning certain types of thicker media this smaller scanner will never be able to, it is the smaller receipts that this little one will not be beat. That older 8600 has already scanned thousands of items, it is time to give it a break. I am still on the early stages of using this smaller device, I am still learning from it. I mostly use it to scan smaller receipts which do come by the numbers. It will not scan narrow and excessively long receipts which I occasionally do get. These types of longer ones will get jammed and I usually cut them in half or so before I use several utility programs on my laptop to tailor them into a digital 8½ x 11 sheet. Everything so far went well. Some times you will get a lop-sided receipt but I found this freely downloadable Libre Office program having a feature to straighten them up. Although I have read a number of complaints from people buying this ADS-1200, to me I have found none. Interface software was a breeze to install. Again I am still on the learning phase of using this little beast and I will leave updates if necessary. One of things that left me breathless is how fast it scans small stacks of paper. It beats the 8600 Office Jet Pro hands down. Again - still too many features to use and explore. But so far it has been a life saver. Very, very happy with it. I am so glad I bought it.

Me gusta mucho por su practicidad y tamaño. Fácil de llevar y la impresión de cada hoja es nítida. Recomiendo al proveedor.

Disappointed with Amazon's lack of follow up

I love this scanner! I work out of my truck and this is so convenient for scanning daily paperwork. Scans with no issues and my office has reports timely. Would definitely get a longer usb cord but other than that when I need another I will buy again.

We actually used the higher wi-fi version of this scanner in my volunteer work last year. The wi-fi is a little more complicated to set up, so I went with this (USB cable) version. I like that it's small and super compact. The paper feed tray folds down so it's easily transported. It does up to 20 sheets at a time, and does duplex scanning in one pass. The software takes a bit of time to download but is pretty easy to figure out. It even has a really odd but useful card scanning feature. We used this for driver's licenses in my volunteer work and it worked great...as long as you remember to flip the feed choice switch back and forth. Keep things away from the back of the scanner if this feature is used, as the card tray needs a bit of clearance. The only complaint I have is that the included USB cable was really short for my usage (about 24 inches). I bought a USB extension cable so I could move the scanner farther from my computer, which sits on the floor. My sister bought one of these as well and simply bought a longer USB cable that has the correct fitting.
