Overview

Not a flatbed, the Brother scanner is a compact sheet-fed unit that scans both sides of each page in one pass and sends files over Wi-Fi or USB. A touch panel sends scans to common destinations with one touch.

Wireless duplex scanning in a small body suits paperless home offices and front desks. The document feeder holds a short stack, and photos or bound pages need a flatbed.

Who it's for

Freelancers, medical front desks and small offices get compact duplex scanning with bundled organizing software. High-volume archives need a larger feeder.

Performance notes

Duplex speed comes from scanning both sides in one pass, doubling page throughput for two-sided documents. Wireless transfers add a short delay compared with USB, especially on large color scans.
