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

None

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

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.

dont buy this scanner drivers dont work for it and after numerous attempts sent the @##$ back !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!​!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!​!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!​!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!​!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!​!!!!!!

scanner breaksdown if used ongoing for more than 30 minutes. lines come across picture, requires too much cleaning if used to scan more than 10 pages. not a good buy. needs improvement in the function, it comes back saying printer not plugged in.

This mobile scanner is small, cheap and well suited to life on the road.
