Smooth, quiet, reliable, easy to use

This tiny scanner is amazing. I am surprised at how quickly it scans and the scans are very clear. The only problem is that it needs a second set of paper guides to prevent the sheets from going in crooked and getting jammed.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I had a collection of years of receipts and taxes and was able to put each year on a flash drive, just in case I needed them for future reference.

Great fit for my needs

I bought the ADS-1500W because I started a vocation that needed to be able to travel and quickly scan documents to different computer files with varying names. This device meets that need VERY well. It is compact and capable of more than I had considered when purchased. I am very happy.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Works Well;Small Footprint;Good Value

This unit does what it says it does and generally I am pleased with it. It also comes with better than average support by phone. I also regard it as a good value. It has both wireless and USB interfaces which is a nice touch. Paper jams are easily cleared. It supports a large number of paper sizes. The unit will directly scan to popular cloud servers. Unfortunately it can be complex to initially setup in order to take advantage of all its features. More comprehensive documentation would help. This is especially an issue for Mac users as much of the documentation is Windows focused. One thing that would make the unit more attractive would be to have rechargeable battery operation. Currently it must have AC power to operate. Given that the email feature only supports POP servers, using it with Apple Mail is not an option as Apple on supports IMAP. Some of the included 3rd party software for OCR scanning and operation could stand some improvement. OCR operation is slow and some of the software interfaces are complex and confusion. The Mac software is 32 bit based which will not longer function after MacOS 10.13 (High Sierra), according to Apple as they will only support 64 bit software in the next major update. The card scanning software is especially confusing and lacks features found in competing products. Many of the scanning features are duplicated in a similar manner in some of the included software packages which adds to the confusion. Better integration would be nice. However the software drivers, from Brother are up-to-date and do support the latest operating systems. While scanning can be started from the color led display panel on the scanner, its 'shortcuts' do not store custom settings but must be redone for each scan. Storing custom setting in 'Shortcuts' would make this feature much more useful. Consumables such as some of the rollers and paper guide have a long life and are easily replaceable by the user at a fair price.

We retured the scanner to the store. It was that bad, not business quality in the least.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great Scanner

Great little scanner but it does not have a guide at the top so the papers sometimes gets pulled sideways, even when they are put in straight. If I hold my finger next to the paper it normally goes down straight. It does occasionally jam also.
I would recommend this to a friend!
