Reduce the clutter around you. Scan, save, access and manage important documents from your computer. No more huge piles to sort through to find what you’re looking for.
Get OrganizedIt’s easier to manage and organize files on your computer than to manage lots of paper. Once documents are scanned, create folders to organize your items so you can find them easily when needed.
Share FilesOnce a file is scanned to your computer, it’s easy to share. Easily scan to PDF, TIFF or JPEG formats and attach to e-mails to send to friends and colleagues.
Keeping a Back UpScan important documents to make sure you still have a copy in case you misplace the original.

Good scanner good but not so much for pictures.. There are lines through the pictures after they are scanned. Works great other than that!

For a low cost scanner this is a good buy. I have been using the DSmoble600 for several years. I travel a lot and take it on the road with me, and like it well enough to buy a second one to leave at home. The size is perfect and it is light weight. It produces a good enough quality image for most purposes at 300dpi which I find to be a good blend of quality & speed. You can go up to 600dpi and select greyscale or color, but it will get slower. If you do a lot of scanning or need very high quality, you may want something faster, but for me it suits my puropse. CONS: You need to be diligent about feeding the paper if you want the image to look good, and the placement of the USB outlet is on the back behing the button and the cable can be in the way of your media. A better place would have been on the side, or better yet wireless.

I replaced a portable manual scanner with this self feed one... my scans are much better (no more streched scans). Software is intuitive and flexible to adapt for odd sized originals. Color and reproduction are true.

Good quality for the money. I needed a mobile unit and this product fits the bill. Easy to set up.

In retrospect, I would likely have been better off purchasing a standard wireless printer and keyboard combination, but I wanted a nimble scanner to digitize my pay stubs. This scanner does a better job than many similar products, but it certainly takes some work! While I would not actively recommend it to anyone, I certainly wouldn't recommend against it-- so long as you know what you're looking for.PROS+ Light, sleek design. The included pouch is pretty minimal (and it doesn't even have anywhere to store the included cable), but you can slip it into a backpack with minimal fuss. That being the whole reason you'd buy a portable scanner, I'd say this has it down in aces.+ Relatively simple operation. It's a push button scanner, and when connected to Windows 7 (x64), it launched the Fax & Scan application with minimal fuss. It'll also accept sending the scan command from the computer itself.+ High quality scans. The images you get are easy to read and perfect for paystubs. You can use color, but since I'm more interested in content I never really bothered with the color mode.+ Quick operation. Major caveat; you definitely will need some practice (see CONS below). Once you've got the hang of it though, you can scan at a pretty good clip.CONS- Difficult to use with a Mac. This scanner is TWAIN compatible, but it really doesn't play very nice with OS X 10.7 Lion or OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. Image capture often does not want to recognize this device, so be aware that it can be a real hassle to use. (I have a background in IT service, so I'm very familiar with peripheral trouble; this isn't necessarily hard to use, but it's much more annoying than it's worth).- Not plug-and-play compatible with Windows 7. This personally drove me a little bit nuts, because I hate having to use manufacturer disks if I can at all avoid it. In this case, however, you do want to install your drivers from Brother's site or the disk before scanning. It will not work otherwise!- It's somewhat difficult to scan documents correctly. You need to line the paper flush against the scanner's right side and press forward. If you do this correctly, you will hear a motor whirring and feel the paper feed pulling your sheet in by about a tenth of an inch. If you don't feel this, you will have to keep playing with it until you hear the motor. Otherwise, the scanner will not pull your document after you press the scan button.- There's no paper guide. This was the biggest failing of the product in my eyes, and one I hope to remedy with a DIY fix later. The lack of a paper guard makes it very difficult to align the document you're scanning and preventing it from skewing during the scan.- The weight of the included cable will cause the scanner to tip over if you're not careful, which will definitely ruin a scan. Use this on a wide flat surface! This also helps because scanned documents exit out the back on a flat angle, so anything behind the scanner will cause the sheets to jam.- Even fully aligned against the scanner, you're going to get annoying black bars along the side of the documents you scan. This is probably my biggest gripe, because this scanner does not work that well with a Mac, yet Image Capture is much, much more useful than Windows Fax & Scan.On the whole, this is a good scanner, but know exactly what you'll be using it for before you buy!

This is a great little scanner! It fits anywhere, is lightweight, and fast. It only scans 8 1/2" wide paper, but will take up to 14" length. It scans smaller paper well, but not heavier weight paper. It can only take one document at a time, and when the document is fed properly, it is not difficult to get a straight scan.The software setup is a breeze. It is simple, but includes an option to re-scan, and add additional scans to a single pdf.The image quality is good, though not publishing quallity. I bought it to reduce the piles of paperwork on my desk and for that it is perfect. I've scanned for several hours at a time and it continues to work well.I am very happy with this purchase and would recommend this scanner highly.

I bought this Brother scanner for my MacBook Air 2011 model with Lion 10.7 and it was so unsatisfactory I sent it back - maybe the 2nd time I've ever returned an item to Amazon. First of all, the documentation is a joke for Mac OS (maybe it's perfect for PC) and then there are the problems: 1) it's very difficult to insert the item you wish to scan without it going in crooked. 2) the scan quality at 75 dpi was poor. 3) you can only scan to three paper sizes: A4, letter and legal. If you scan, say, a business card on letter-size, your scan shows an entire sheet of black except for the small card. The only way to correct this is to open the scan in an application (e.g., Preview) and then crop and save.If you were to scan, say, 10 receipts and print them on a single sheet, you'd spend an hour finishing the project. Furthermore, each scan requires repeating several steps. 4) it scans to any TWAIN application, but the only one that a Mac comes with is Image Capture, which is pretty weak. 5) most of the other software is Windows-only. I then ordered a Fujitsu ScanSnap S1100 for $54.00 more and, wow, what an improvement. This scanner is typical Mac. It just installs and works. All of the above-mentioned problems are gone and this one scans to a folder of your choice in pdf, jpg, etc or it scans to a Word or Excel document because it has a decent OCR program. It also stays on for about 10 seconds after a scan in case you are ready to scan another item. It's terrific and well worth the extra bucks.
