Brother DS-940 Mobile Scanner | A4 | Both Sides | WLAN | Integrated Battery | 15 ppm | Colour | Black/White | Scan to USB

This is so easy to use and the phone app is crazy good. Saves having a chunky scanner and results are almost better

Kan ook geheel zonder snoeren en zonder verbindingen werken. Slaat scan op SD kaart op. Laadt interne batterij wel alleen op via laptop USB A uitgang of Monitor USB A uitgang. Heeft wel zeldzame Micro USB B 3.0 stekker ingang. Kabel wel meegeleverd.

Vamos por partes : tiene cosas buenas y malas, pero las "malas" debemos verlas en el contexto de que es un aparato portátil pequeñísimo. Con el móvil haces cosas básicas : escaneo blanco y negro / color, dos caras /1 cara, algún tamaño y ya. En Windows ya tienes muchas más configuraciones. Pero la gracia de esto es tenerlo encima de la mesa, escanear lo que sea, DESDE EL MÓVIL, y pasarlo como hago yo a Dropbox directamente. El salto de página en blanco funciona en Windows. En Android no. Da 100 escaneos como dice la página. Para cargarlo : desde brother se dice que sólo se puede cargar desde un ordenador. En la práctica : cargador de 5V y 500ma, haces puente con una tarjeta mp3 ( que vale 4 euros en Amazon) y ya te permite cargar desde ese cargador usb-c. Para. Mí los pros son mucho mayores que los contras.

I was fully prepared to be shipping this unit back if it did not live up to expectations but it is staying with me. I’ve had a number of portable document scanners over the years with a varying degree of success with each. I did a great deal of research into this type of scanner prior to ordering which included the ScanSnap, Doxie, canon and Fujitsu equivalent models. I am a prolific archivist and detest paper so any paperwork given to me gets scanned in and stored electronically. With the MFD shortage brought on by covid I struggled to get a worthy replacement MFD for home with an ADF when the ADF on my Canon just wore out. Over the recent year my job has changed to that of a more flexible worker either from the Office, home or client sites so a portable unit that can be added to my office in a rucksack was the best fit. Anyway enough about my situation. This unit can scan to a machine over USB, Wi-Fi and via a memory card you insert into the back of the device. Whilst the memory card does not petrude it would be nice if there was a clip or cover over it to stop it from being accidentally ejected. This may after all contain sensitive information or the remains of sensitive information after deletion. Scanning to the memory card is OK and just OK. Each page is saved as a separate document, even when selected PDF and 2 Sided each side will be safed as a separate document and not combined. You just put another piece of paper in the feeder and it scans and saves. There I no method, that I have found documented to continue a scan to the memory card into one file. The scans require assembly into a single file after the fact in the included software. I use this feature only for documents of one page. Only when there is no other practicable choice do I use this for multipage scans as it is a bit of a ball ache. Quite why they didn’t make use of the “WStart/Stop” button is anyone’s guess. The Wi-Fi functionality is OK, it is a bit slow in my experience. There is also no “known” Wi-Fi settings listed on the device’s settings so it just remembers the previous network it is connected to. It would be useful it it retained the settings for a number of networks to allow it to move between home, work and Mi-Fi adapter without having to repair the thing by the WPS button each time. As you can tell I mostly use my device over USB, its plug and play and fast. The built-in blank page detection is brilliant and the Brother iPrint & Scan software really is very good. This has a continuation feature so you can just keep stuffing pages into the feeder and they become one document. Automatic page rotation is also a good feature that works well as does deskew. The ability to insert a few pages at once would be nice but it isn’t worth sacrificing the extra size needed to support this. As a portable unit it would have been nice if it included even a cloth carrying case to stop it from being marked in my bag but this is an extra purchase. On th front of the feeder there is a peper guide for the feeder of the slidy piece of plastic type but there is no resistance to moving it so it is pointless. I may well gluee mine in position at somepoint. Despite these shortcomings it works well, the scans are good and it chewed through a massive backlog of scanning in a short period of time and will be taking up its place in my Office in a rucksack.

It is a nice and compact scanner instead of a big flatbed or multiprinter option. Can scan like one 1200x1200dpi document while connected to computer then it runs out of memory. But lower dpi settings are still solid, not sure what dpi you get with SD card option but nice solution to have. Can be a bit wonky with document feed and say "papper stuck" when it clearly is not. Can happen a few times but easy to just plop it up and then close it again even though I would rather not need to do that. Still a small and compact unit that gets the job done with some quirks :)
