Review: Prompt response, Swift delivery and genuine product - The product was of genuine and good. and the support services from the seller were very much appreciated. Review: I bought this scanner in order to make up for the inconvenience of using my older huge HP-Officejet Pro 8600 All-In-One printer. Its been a great scanner no question about it. But turning it on, waiting for it to warm up, and much of the time turning on my desktop computer, can have its drawbacks. I wanted something that I could connect to my laptop and quickly scan other documents, receipt, etc. I had been 'eyeing' many of these portable scanners via desertcart, most of which had these great reviews. After too much searching did I finally come down to this one which seemed to be the winner of cost and features. Despite the fact that the stupid mailman threw the package over my 7-foot fence and landed on the lawn, this Brother ADS-1200 seems to have worked okay. I am very happy with it and I am very impressed with its convenience and use. Although the Officejet Pro 8600 is still capable of scanning certain types of thicker media this smaller scanner will never be able to, it is the smaller receipts that this little one will not be beat. That older 8600 has already scanned thousands of items, it is time to give it a break. I am still on the early stages of using this smaller device, I am still learning from it. I mostly use it to scan smaller receipts which do come by the numbers. It will not scan narrow and excessively long receipts which I occasionally do get. These types of longer ones will get jammed and I usually cut them in half or so before I use several utility programs on my laptop to tailor them into a digital 8½ x 11 sheet. Everything so far went well. Some times you will get a lop-sided receipt but I found this freely downloadable Libre Office program having a feature to straighten them up. Although I have read a number of complaints from people buying this ADS-1200, to me I have found none. Interface software was a breeze to install. Again I am still on the learning phase of using this little beast and I will leave updates if necessary. One of things that left me breathless is how fast it scans small stacks of paper. It beats the 8600 Office Jet Pro hands down. Again - still too many features to use and explore. But so far it has been a life saver. Very, very happy with it. I am so glad I bought it. ## Features - COMPACT DESIGN AND FAST SCAN SPEEDS HANDLE A VARIETY OF DOCUMENTS: Scan single and double sided, documents in a single pass at up to 25 ppm1.

I need pdf.** A: I have a MAC. I use the image capture app on the mac to do my scans. It has boxes for settings, like pdf, and for making individual sheets into one document **Q: I've seen videos in people's reviews where their ads1200 scanner is scanning at least twice the speed of mine. why is mine scanning so slowly?** A: You can adjust the resolution of the scanning. Higher resolution scans will take longer than lower resolution scans. **Q: I need something that won't damage sports cards. Would this be a solution for me?** A: The Brother ADS-1200 document scanner has a curved document path, so it would not be good for scanning sports cards. When scanning media such as card stock, Brother recommends scanning with a straight document path scanner. **Q: Does this work with MacBooks?** A: The ADS-1200 works very well with Macs. To use with a Mac start by going to the Brother website to download the ADS-1200 driver. You will be given a choice of downloading either the TWAIN driver or the ICA driver. On the download page they don’t give you any guidance as to which to choose, but elsewhere in the Brother website I found a statement saying that the TWAIN driver has some compatibility issues with the latest macOS system (Monterey as of this writing), so download the ICA driver. I don’t know why Brother gives you a choice of downloading a driver that may not work. I've found that the ADS-1200 works well with Apple’s Image Capture Application. That’s what ICA stands for. Image Capture is integrated into the macOS and can be found in your applications folder. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Prompt response, Swift delivery and genuine product *by R***V on 18 July 2024* The product was of genuine and good. and the support services from the seller were very much appreciated. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by A***. on 2 November 2021* I bought this scanner in order to make up for the inconvenience of using my older huge HP-Officejet Pro 8600 All-In-One printer.
