Review: Impressed! - Use for work on the go, super easy, user friendly, works way better than I expected it to.
Review: Small, but a workhorse! - This is a great little printer. I was looking for a portable printer that didn’t rely on thermal paper and this is what popped up in my research. Although it’s a tad heavy if I had to take it with me every day. It’s still doable. It is a bit bigger than I had hoped, it’s still substantially smaller than most other printers unless you go to a thermal printer which I didn’t want to do. I have a bigger color Brother printer, so I was already familiar with the quality of their products. And this one lives up to their high quality standards. It holds a good amount of paper, so I don’t have to keep feeding it all the time. It does use toner cartridges instead of ink cartridges, so they are bigger. But once you walk through the steps of changing a cartridge, it’s quite easy. Overall, I’m happy with this purchase. It’s a great product at a great price and the quality is solid. I recommend this little workhorse.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Got this to digitize old photos and scan some important documents without using a printer/combo
*by C***R on November 3, 2023*

So I bought this (factory refurbished) because my dad passed earlier this year and he was a pack rat; one of those people who prints out bill payment confirmations and all kinds of random papers, not to mention the countless photos he had. Anyway, I figured this scanner would help with getting everything onto a computer much more efficiently than my printer/scanner combo. Here's what I found: -Brother has their own software to update the firmware and can manage your scans. This software does NOT work on my desktop however it DOES work on my laptop. My desktop is a high-end gaming machine that can run circles around my laptop without breaking a sweat, the difference is that my desktop has an AMD Ryzen 9 processor whereas my Dell G7 laptop has an Intel I7. My desktop just does not recognize the scanner when it's plugged in. So, I have to use 3rd party software, which I've managed to make work pretty well, but is disappointing that this is even an issue. -The top lid flips up so you can have photos/papers come out straight up instead of behind, however this does not work well with photos. While scanning pictures, the photos would move while going through the feeder causing a warped image being scanned in. So this feature works well for papers, just not for photos. -Portability? Yeah...not really. I had planned on taking this to my dad's house and scanning things there, but the issue is that you have to plug it into a computer. I desperately tried to use it on my android phone but there just aren't any apps that will recognize the scanner and not just use the phone's camera. The "portable" terms is just literally that you can pick it up and move it around, within the confines of the USB cable length - which what they give you is only 2ft long, so you're going to need to buy a longer cable yourself. Overall, I'd still recommend it for on-the-fly scanning, especially if you have a metric ton worth of things to scan. These things aren't exactly cheap but if I had to buy one again, I'd make sure to get one that is actually portable, one that has memory and a rechargeable battery.
