Brother ADS-4700W Reviews

Works ok when it actually works

This thing is a pain to use. if you put more than one sheet in at a time it feeds two or more at the same time and errors out. So I have to take the paper and lay it out a piece at a time fanned out so it won't grab more than one sheet, but then half the time it tells me there's no paper in the feeder. If I let go of the fanned papers to let them fall into the feeder properly it starts grabbing more than one sheet. I got this to be a time saver, but it takes an eternity to get my scanning done because of all the errors. I absolutely recommend you find something else.

Pretty good desktop scanner

Overall, it's pretty good. In feed oftentimes folds corners of smaller items, like receipts; should have better infeed paper guides. When turned on, it takes some time to sync up with the network. Software a little cumbersome. Too many utilities to tweak settings. All in all, after making time investment to wade through all the software settings, pretty good so far. Ask me again in five years.
