    Handy Portable Scanner with Autofeed
    Because I routinely meet with clients outside of my office, this portable scanner saves me both time and postage. The full duplex scanner with autofeed allows me to quickly scan my client’s documents to my laptop. I also appreciate that it can be powered with the supplied USB cable. NOTE: the unit is inexplicably programmed out of the box to scan documents in PNG format and to save each page individually. Fortunately, the included iPrint&Scan software allowed me to re-configure the default settings. Now I can scan multi-page documents to save to one file and it PDF format. The software permits you to save these settings, so you don’t have to re-configure the settings each time you power up the scanner. While this scanner is portable, I wouldn’t call it compact. It’s size makes it nearly impossible to fit inside a standard laptop case/bag. Because of its light weight, it’s not a problem to haul around.Three months into is setup and use, I am satisfied with its performance. This way, I don’t have to take documents back to my office, scan them, and return them to my clients. I would definitely recommend this unit for professionals that want to save both time and money. NOTE: Too many documents in the autofeed will cause it to jam, but I rarely have that problem.

    Nicely compact, gets the job done
    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.

    Easy to Use Compact Duplex Scanner
    This Brother scanner is a not a flatbed. The model I got allows one pass full duplex scanning of multiple pages. There is a cheaper single page model and a more expensive wireless model. It does NOT come with software. You must go to the provided URL to download and install it. Installation and setup was easy. It works exactly as described. You need an available USB port to connect to your PC. You can save your scans on your PC or network, or even to a USB flash drive on the available data port. My only complaint is that there is no slide out extension to hold pages for feeding the scanner. This is a minor issue. This device is fast, easy to use, and produces quality images or PDFs. It does have include app software – I like the Kofax Power PDF Standard. It also has a very small footprint. It packs a lot of power in a small device.

    Pretty good scanner. Too early to tell of its performance but its doing great.
    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.

    It works more or less as expected, but they do not include a power adapter. This will, however, only be a problem if your computer does not have a USB port that can deliver at least 3 amps, or 15W. If your computer does not have a port with 3 amps of current available, you can do a search for part number LK-1001C (the AC Adapter is SA-AD-001). Still, for the price they ask, it is rather annoying that they do not spend the extra $5 to include a power supply.
