  1. mthom71

    Excellent scanning device for students and professionals. I wish the software allowed me to edit the PDF’s after ceation and I wish it also had a feeder forease of use with mutiple ducuments. But overall I’m happy with my purchase of this mobile duplex scanner

  2. Scott

    The scanner on my printer just took forever to operate, and I’m doing more scanning these days, so was looking for something better. Well, this is it. Small desk footprint, simple to set up and operate, and faster than heck. USB-3 I think. Speedy. Very happy with this model. Tried the one with Wifi first, too quirky and more complex. This is perfect.

  3. Eevee

    Got this piece of junk all set up, started testing the scanning and all it does is put a line right in the center of every scan….horrible waste of time and money!

  4. Hudr

    This is a great portable scanner that everyone should have.

  5. Jeremy

    I purchased this for my mother for her to be able to scan documents from home for work and this scanner has surpassed what I expected. The duplex function is incredible. Definitely recommend this product.

  6. Jake

    Very nice scanner. Use to scan business receipts. Also scans large full pages. Scans on both side of paper at once. Will probably buy another to use at home.

  7. Bestbuycustomer47

    Delivered home and return. Never opened, it’s very compact for sure. I thought I needed it, but I didn’t open it after two weeks. Returning was hassle free as always, as a customer since last year.

  8. Weewee12

    The product is perfect. I find myself using it all the time. Love it thank you

  9. JessicaC

    I love this little scanner! I originally wanted a battery powered one, but this is so simple! It just plugs in via usb to your computer and that powers it…practically wireless. My only complaints are: 1. that the glass gets dirty and you have to clean it more often than I’d like. 2. Smaller pieces of paper (like some receipts) won’t go through it, but I got a few carrier sheets and it works like a charm!

  10. gabesgrl

    Product is really easy to use. The process is quick and I would recommend this product for anyone in need of quick, easy, reliable scanning.

  11. Swampfox

    Very nice for scanning single items and two sided copies are effortless. It would be nice if continuous copying was supported so multiple scans could be grouped into a single pdf.

  12. JacksonMomma

    Small, convenient & easy to use; perfect for my home business accounting!

  13. Mario

    Complicated to use. Defiantly not user friendly. Compare different brands before purchasing this product.

  14. NBBuyer

    Installation wasn’t a problem, but I didn’t like the feeding method or software. Send one sheet through at a time and press the button on the computer screen to send each additional sheet through, Too awkward. Went with the Epson Workforce ES-200, much more user friendly.

  15. LeSean

    I really like Brother products. Finally upgraded my flatbed scanner with a compact portable scanner. Brother DS-740D scanner has some different scanning options, so it took a little time to try them out.

    Duplex feature is great if you are scanning photos with written comments on back. You can scan two images – first being the photo and the second being the back of the photo.

  16. MATT

    Makes scanning much easier. Long receipts no problem.

  17. BerylS

    Needed this to replace my Brother scanner DS620 which was not compatible with my new iMac. This 740D is so much faster and does both sides at once. I love it!

  18. KarenS

    I’ve have been having a awesome time with this little scanner.
    I only need it for a few pages here and there, so i don’t know how it would work on a larger project, but its been perfect for what i need.

  19. TJ617

    This scanner works like a charm. the pages do not jamand the image quality is perfect. The small foot print allows me to keep it on my desk.

  20. Jessie

    Super easy to use. Hooked it up to my computer super quickly. Scans multiple pages at once. Great for my one-person consulting business.

  21. danijwms

    Solid little machine. Disappointment in right adjustable document feeder guide. Should be made with some resistance. Slides too easily. I did return this item as I replaced it with slightly better model that is chargeable and wireless. The feeder guide on the more expensive model is very loose and moves too easily as well. Both produce good quality scans, and would have kept this one if price had been the sticking point.

  22. JUNK

    If I could give it ZERO stars, that would be my choice. I have downloaded the driver numerous times, yet, the scanner simply does NOT function. It will not work!

  23. auxiliary

    This is the third DS-740D I’ve owned. Scans well and the speed is decent. The duplex feature is fantastic to have on the road. I wish the unit was a little less prone to jams though. But compared to other models available, this unit is great.

  24. Ricardo

    Great portable scanner! Compact and priced right too!

  25. Passoa

    Love it, its easy to use. However, the software installation extensive.

  26. MattP

    This scanner does exactly as described. it is compact and easy to use. I am happy with the purchase. I was not a fan with the function of the receipt software that it comes with but the business card software is very helpful and the scanner has many helpful features.

  27. ElonW

    Works ok For Now on My Desk Top & Lap Top As this Comp
    was the one i needed it to work on.Took a while to figure
    out how to scan reciepts in but got it.

  28. Mocha

    Love the product and it was very easy to use and doesn’t take up a lot of space

  29. Happycustomer

    The directions to load the driver on my computer were easy to follow. This device can scan small documents like receipts up to a regular size piece of paper. I was able to scan and save about 10 pages easily and I have never used a scanner that was not also a printer. It does require scanning and saving each page separately as far as I can tell. It did exactly what I needed and won’t take up much space. I recommend it.

  30. StuartW

    Very easy to use. Quiet when scanning. But when i james, there i no reset button, haveto unplug usb to plug back in to reset the ham.
