    much to love about this scanner, but Brother drops the ball Much improved performance, raising from 1 to 4 stars. Installation was not easy. Part of the trouble is that its WIFI set up required me disable my Mac's WIFI connection. This was not a problem, other than it required tech support to tell me it was necessary. I have a LAN connection as well. The card reader now works, although it clips the very bottom of the card - on my car registration card, which prints to the very bottom, half the #s on that bottom line were cli... read more

    Online service is extremely poor This would be a great scanner if you don't care about the cloud connected scanning feature. Found the Evernote scansnap edition to be significantly better.

    We finally live paper-free!!! We've talked about getting rid of the paper in our lives for years but there's never been a convenient way to get rid of it.

It's nice for a one-off scan, but to scan bills, medica... read more

    Setup is bad. Works great afterwards. Once you fight your way through the setup - which is especially bad for a no-Java allowed household and poorly documented - it works great. Use the web interface to setup emails and shortcuts. Do not bother with scanning jobs going through their servers. Bad idea from privacy perspective and unnecessary complication with little benefit. Once email is set up (Gmail in our case), it is great and we never needed anything else.

    Gets the job done, with a lot of hand-holding *updated* 12/03/2013 update: I'm updating this review after an hour and a half of failing to scan anything at all. Maybe after I cool down I'll increase my rating to two stars, because this scanner does work sometimes, but at the moment I'm ready to throw it in the trash. Today the scanner decided it wasn't going to connect to my network. Nothing has changed. The scanner hasn't been used in two days but no changes were made to the scanner configuration or to my network, and no ch... read more
