Overview
Brother aims this wireless model at busy workgroups, pairing a deep feeder and single pass duplex scanning with a color touchscreen. It joins the office over dual band Wi-Fi or Ethernet and sends scans to cloud, email, SharePoint or SFTP.
One-touch shortcuts on the touchscreen let anyone in the office send a stack to the right folder without opening software. It is a full office machine, larger than a home user needs.
Who it's for
Workgroups and front offices with high daily volume gain from the speed, feeder and shortcuts. Light home users will not need its capacity.
Pros and cons
- Fast duplex scanning
- Dual band Wi-Fi plus Ethernet
- Touchscreen with custom shortcuts
- Kofax VRS compatible
- Bulky for a home desk
- Optical resolution listed lower than personal models
- Wattage not listed
Performance notes
Throughput comes from scanning both sides in one pass with the feeder topped up through continuous scanning mode. Image cleanup such as auto deskew, auto rotation and bleed-through removal runs on the device, and Kofax VRS can refine difficult originals further.
