I use the product to convert documents to electronic form. Also, I intend to use it to fax documents occassionaly. The usb connector is a little loose. Will probably need to get it repaired.

Faulty Connector

Love this little scanner. It does a great job and easy to use. The size makes it a very desirable item to take along with you on trips. Light weight and small. I haven't used it without saving to my pc but the feature of putting scanned items on a Micto SD card will come in very handy too.

The Brother DS-600 ($149.99 direct) isn't the smallest, lightest, fastest, or most capable portable document scanner, but it has one big argument in its favor: It is less expensive than the competition.

Small; Light; Inexpensive; Gets power over USB cable; Comes with protective sleeves for scanning photos safely

Simplex (one-sided) scans only; Manual feed only; Severe limits on ability to scan multiple document pages into one file

Old photo's aren't really clear anyway, but the scans are fine. Newer digital photo's look like the original. I love it - been scanning loads of old photo's while I'm watching TV in my recliner - just set the scanner on the arm of my chair and go to town. Easy to use.

Does the job I want to do and it's portable

No problem

My wife uses it for her mile high stack of recipes and any other single sheets to be scanned. We're using it to scan sales slips to make it easier at tax time. It's much handier than our flatbeds for single sheets.

Got this for father-in-law, who is not computer geek. :) This scanner is very easy to use, (only one button and no way to use it wrong). Recommend for similar use. It has good scanning quality too.

If you are someone who works in the field or on the go. I can't imagine anything better.

Small, Good quality print for being USB powered; Fast and very portable

Good scanner, Very hard to setup on Windows 7. Purchased to install on a PC running Windows 7, didn't work, tried about 5 times and then called Brother and the rep. TRIED to help me install, changed all the settings, etc. Couldn't be installed.

I had seen the recent television ads for portable scanners and checked Office Depot online to see if they had similar products. I purchased the Brother handheld (based on the reviews) and am delighted with the product.

Value for Money; Features; Quiet; Easy to Use; Design; Performance
