Fantastic for small network
This is a fantastic solution for small office scanning. We bought the Brother because we have a very expensive Xerox copier that we use for scanning, but it breaks down so much that we needed a back up. After a few weeks of using the Brother, nobody in the office uses the Xerox any more except for oversize scans. The Brother has become the primary scanner and everyone in the office has given it positive reviews.
It works great. I've only seen it jam once and that was because someone didn't remove the staple from a document. The document feeder is supposed to only hold 50 sheets, but that seems very conservative. People have been filling it up with much more and there have been no glitches. It's easily as fast as the giant Xerox and much faster than most multi-function scanning devices.
I thought the set up was incredibly easy and intuitive, but I do work with computers. Still, I find many similar products limited in terms of compatibility and terribly unintuitive in terms of set up and user interaction. The Xerox was a nightmare to set up for network scanning. We have another Brother MFC device in the office and it was very difficult to integrate into our network because it had very limited network capabilities and it requires the user to navigate through 6 screens before they can scan.
One of the best features of this device is that there are 3 programmable buttons on the front of the scanner. I set up the first button for color documents, the 2nd button for black and white documents and the third for reduced file size black and white scans. All a user needs to do to scan a document is insert the paper and press one of the buttons. That's it, 1 button and the document get scanned and uploaded to our server. Please note that you really do need a server or a NAS to get the benefits of this scanner. If you're not going use the networking then you are probably better off buying a cheaper Fujitsu without networking. I use a Fujitsu ScanSnap at home and it's great, but only for a single user.
The only draw back some offices might have is if they need more than 3 presets. Many offices like to have a button for each employee which goes to a private server folder. That wasn't a requirement for us. We only have a dozen people in the office so a single network share with the 3 presets works great.

Great scanner
Best scanner ever. The only thing missing is that there's no wifi connection. Only ethernet connection required.

Five Stars
Scans double sided documents faster then my software can handle it. No skipped pages. Money well spent.

Excellent Product
I upgrade from an Workforce Epson Pro GT-S50 Document Scanner. I would definitely consider this an upgrade.
The Brother is very fast to scan and does an excellent job detecting blank pages, No Software required to load on my computer system, configured via Ethernet Connection and the output goes directly to a shared folder on my QNAP NAS BOX.
The initial setup was a little confusing but I messed around with it for about 10 minutes and got it figured out.
Extremely happy with this purchase and consider it one of my top purchases.

Great Product! Horrid Support...
This scanner is truly phenomenal.
I Just pushed the software out to a network of 30 users and it was flawless.
Scanning is genuinely fast, double-sided and an amazing document management system.
One entire file cabinet was digitized in a week by one person.
Tech support is severely lacking as I had some pre-configuration questions.
To get to "Level 5" tech support you must wait for a call-back, but as it turned out I didn't need them during actual install.
I'm just rating the product itself, not the "support."
Highly recommend!

Scans fast. I love it.
This device helped me scan three years worth of receipts and other documents I'd been wanting to archive for a long time. You have to use the brother software to do the scanning (I wasn't able to find an open-source program that could use this to scan to multiple files) but it works. It seems to have a lot more features than I'll ever need (it seems to be compatible with a corporate IT department's wired intranet). It's great that it scans both sides. Scanning at the highest dpi causes the scanner to pause for about a second between each scan but this delay disappears when you choose a lower dpi setting.
