Brother Mobile Color Page Scanner, DS-620, Fast Sc

Reliable, Fast and Easy
This is an excellent scanner, fast and reliable, and I highly recommend the PaperPort document manager that comes with it. I bought this scanner as a replacement for a Neat Receipts scanner because the Neat website was so buggy that their scanner was almost useless in practice. The Brother customer service is also excellent, I submitted a request and received a phone call from an actual person within two days to fix my problem.The scanner is compact and powered through the USB cord, so you only have one cord to worry about. I scanned a document with fine print at the different resolutions (200, 300, & 600 dpi), and decided that I prefer 300 dpi for most routine scanning, and 600 dpi for items with fine print. Scanning is fast, at least four times as fast as my Neat scanner at 300 dpi, and slightly faster even at the highest resolution. I have been using it for three months with no problems.The disc that came with the scanner was defective, but I was able to download the scanner driver from the website and get started. I had to contact tech support for the PaperPort software, and as I said eariler they called back pretty quickly and made certain I installed the software with no difficulty. There are guides for Getting Started and How To, which made the software easy to figure out.The PaperPort software opens with a view similar to File Explorer. I can see the entire Documents folder on my computer, and a folder was created for My PaperPort Documents, which is where I keep my scanned documents. To scan a new document I just select the folder I want to send the document to (any folder in Documents), click the “scan now” tile in the menu bar, then I check the settings and go. It defaults to the previous settings, but I can easily change the resolution, B&W/color, etc. before scanning. Very easy and intuitive, and so much faster than the Neat system!This doesn’t come with an on-line cloud service like the Neat system, but that also means I don’t need to pay a monthly subscription. I can just back up my documents to a DropBox and have on-line backup and access that way. Overall I am very happy with this scanner, and finally clearing my desk of all of the documents that were backing up as I struggled with my old Neat system.

Acquistato da qualche giorno e devo dire che è perfetto.Facile da installare i drivers e i software aggiuntivi. Anche su tablet con wind. 8. Veloce e piccolo da mettere in valigetta.Speriamo duri.

Compré este escáner hace casi dos meses por dos razones: la primera es que a veces veo clientes fuera de mi oficina y necesito copia de algunos documentos, y la segunda es que cuando trabajó desde casa y quiero escanear documentos tamaño oficio, no puedo porque el escáner que tengo es de cama plana y solo tamaño carta (es el del multifuncional).Lo conecto a la MacBook Air que traigo para todos lados y funciona perfecto. Ahora ya no uso el escáner del multifuncional pues tendría que prenderlo, esperar a que se conecte a la red (es inalámbrico) y si estoy en otra habitación, ir al estudio, poner la hoja, etc.Lo guardo en mi mochila junto con la computadora así que siempre está a la mano.Yo solo lo uso para digitalizar documentos y la mayoría son texto o combinación de texto y fotos pero no necesito que sean a color por lo que los guardo en PDF en blanco y negro o a lo mucho en escala de grises. A veces necesito escanear escrituras de propiedad o contratos de 80 hojas tamaño oficio y lo he hecho sin ningún problema y bastante rápido considerando que estoy en un café o en casa. Tiene un mecanismo que “agarra” el borde de la hoja cuando la acercas al alimentador y cuando presionas el botón de “escanear” la hoja pasa derecha. Nunca ha arrugado una hoja, nunca se ha atorado ni ha fallado.Supongo que no es la mejor opción para escanear fotos o imágenes a color en alta resolución pues para esos casos nada funciona tan bien como un escáner de cama plana pero para documentos, recibos, etc. este escáner hace excelente trabajo.La principal ventaja comparado con otros de precio similar, es que se “abre” para limpiar él vidrio que protege a la lámpara (que es la que escanea) y limpiar los rodillos y el espacio por donde pasa la hoja. De esta forma te aseguras que va a funcionar bien todo el tiempo.Hay una opción de la misma marca y un poco más cara que escanea por los dos lados de la hoja. Yo preferí este modelo porque no tengo tantos documentos de 2 caras y no me importa tardarme un poco en lo que son de 2 caras, además este es mas chico y pesa menos. Hay opciones con alimentador automático y otras prestaciones pero yo creo que si la necesidad de escanear es tanta, mejor invertir en un escáner profesional de cama plana con alimentador etc.Este modelo hace una cosa y la hace muy bien, fácil y sin problemas.

My only regret is that I did not order the one capable on scanning both sides of a document at the same time. Works very well, is quick and small sized and comes with 2 apps for scanning. Came in handy at income tax filing time. I’ve started scanning all the files in the filing cabinet to save space in the officeReceipts are now scanned as soon as I’m home for warranty purposes (notice how fast the ink on them becomes unreadable?). I also scan the ‘owner’s instructions’ included with the product for easy referral.
