Brother ADS-4900W Reviews

Wasting time searching workflows.

Sorting workflows in alphabetical order would be helpful. I have over 200 workflows and searching through them is time consuming. Works great after I find my workflow.

Do not recommend

Would not recommend. Interface is awful, screen is terrible. Scanner is slow and support is no good. Love my Brother printers but this expensive scanner is awful. Brother should get a Raven scanner and take note of GUI interface and scanner screen
