Brother Printer RDS620 Document Scanner (Renewed)

This is an excellent scanner, fast and reliable, and I highly recommend the PaperPort document manager that comes with it. I bought this scanner as a replacement for a Neat Receipts scanner because the Neat website was so buggy that their scanner was almost useless in practice. The Brother customer service is also excellent, I submitted a request and received a phone call from an actual person within two days to fix my problem.The scanner is compact and powered through the USB cord, so you only have one cord to worry about. I scanned a document with fine print at the different resolutions (200, 300, & 600 dpi), and decided that I prefer 300 dpi for most routine scanning, and 600 dpi for items with fine print. Scanning is fast, at least four times as fast as my Neat scanner at 300 dpi, and slightly faster even at the highest resolution. I have been using it for three months with no problems.The disc that came with the scanner was defective, but I was able to download the scanner driver from the website and get started. I had to contact tech support for the PaperPort software, and as I said eariler they called back pretty quickly and made certain I installed the software with no difficulty. There are guides for Getting Started and How To, which made the software easy to figure out.The PaperPort software opens with a view similar to File Explorer. I can see the entire Documents folder on my computer, and a folder was created for My PaperPort Documents, which is where I keep my scanned documents. To scan a new document I just select the folder I want to send the document to (any folder in Documents), click the "scan now" tile in the menu bar, then I check the settings and go. It defaults to the previous settings, but I can easily change the resolution, B&W/color, etc. before scanning. Very easy and intuitive, and so much faster than the Neat system!This doesn't come with an on-line cloud service like the Neat system, but that also means I don't need to pay a monthly subscription. I can just back up my documents to a DropBox and have on-line backup and access that way. Overall I am very happy with this scanner, and finally clearing my desk of all of the documents that were backing up as I struggled with my old Neat system.

This is a great little scanner for the money. I read all the reviews and I have to say the reviews helped me to make my decision on this product. I am using this scanner at work. Our copier/scanner is so far away from my desk at work that I wanted a little scanner for when I only have to scan a few pages, to send in an email, etc. Because of our privacy settings at work, I had to have someone from our IT dept install the drivers so she was able to tell me how to use it. I can't comment on how easy it would be for the novice to figure that out since she was able give me all the details in about a minute. This scanner will scan multiple pages, in one pdf doc. It also has options to select a file type when you scan. I've only used pdf so far.One thing I will comment on when I first scanned, it looked as if each page took 30 seconds to complete however, that is NOT true. It does this countdown after each page, but if you just click cancel you will see your document has been uploaded. It's also super FAST. I love the USB connection. The last thing I need is something else to plug in. I'm sure that most people buy this to use it on the road however, I love it for my PC at work.The only thing it doesn't do is 2 sided scanning however, you can just feed the document back thru using the multiple page scan option, so no biggie!UPDATE:I've used the heck out of this little scanner at work. I've dropped it I don't know how many times (on carpet) and it's still going strong. I mainly use it for 1-3 page scans. I've also used it to scan receipts. If you don't mind the black surround you can scan up to 3 receipts at once depending on the size of the receipts. I used it to scan a gazillion receipts from Expense Reports. More than 1000 receipts have been scanned. When you scan receipts you have to feed the longest receipt on the far left of the machine. If you load a smaller receipt on the left then it stops scanning when that receipt pulls through the machine.I have scanned a credit card, Driver's License and a certificate that had a small cloth ribbon on it. I don't want to scan credit cards any more because they are bumpy and I don't want to ruin my scanner. I use it so much! I am actually ordering another scanner, as a back up. Since I keep dropping it on the ground I am getting nervous. I bet I've dropped it at least 10 times, maybe more. It also works great on photos!

I've had it for a few weeks now and I love this scanner. For Windows 10 the software installation was easy and the scanner works very well.I use it to scan all of my receipts and important documents and 600dpi the digital pdf results are fantastic.The Windows version of the scanning software is simple and straight forward. It allowed me to specify a network folder on my NAS and it remembers it, so that's great for me. All my scans go straight to my NAS. It will also allow you to preview your scanned results.Another great thing about he software is, after a document is scanned, it displays a 30 second countdown timer for you to insert the next document. If you insert the next document within the 30 second window it will automatically scan the next document or receipt. I really like this feature, I stack all of my receipts in advance and then I just hit the scan button once and just keep feeding the receipts through.One thing to note.The software does not create "multiple page" scanned pdf files. Even if you feed multiple documents through one after the other, it will make a separate pdf file for each scan.

Utiliser sur bureau en continu, il est très fiable et simple à utiliser, malgré un scan de prêt de 50 feuilles/jour il n'a pas montré de faiblesse.Idéal pour une utilisation sur petit bureau !

Compré este escáner hace casi dos meses por dos razones: la primera es que a veces veo clientes fuera de mi oficina y necesito copia de algunos documentos, y la segunda es que cuando trabajó desde casa y quiero escanear documentos tamaño oficio, no puedo porque el escáner que tengo es de cama plana y solo tamaño carta (es el del multifuncional).Lo conecto a la MacBook Air que traigo para todos lados y funciona perfecto. Ahora ya no uso el escáner del multifuncional pues tendría que prenderlo, esperar a que se conecte a la red (es inalámbrico) y si estoy en otra habitación, ir al estudio, poner la hoja, etc.Lo guardo en mi mochila junto con la computadora así que siempre está a la mano.Yo solo lo uso para digitalizar documentos y la mayoría son texto o combinación de texto y fotos pero no necesito que sean a color por lo que los guardo en PDF en blanco y negro o a lo mucho en escala de grises. A veces necesito escanear escrituras de propiedad o contratos de 80 hojas tamaño oficio y lo he hecho sin ningún problema y bastante rápido considerando que estoy en un café o en casa. Tiene un mecanismo que "agarra" el borde de la hoja cuando la acercas al alimentador y cuando presionas el botón de "escanear" la hoja pasa derecha. Nunca ha arrugado una hoja, nunca se ha atorado ni ha fallado.Supongo que no es la mejor opción para escanear fotos o imágenes a color en alta resolución pues para esos casos nada funciona tan bien como un escáner de cama plana pero para documentos, recibos, etc. este escáner hace excelente trabajo.La principal ventaja comparado con otros de precio similar, es que se "abre" para limpiar él vidrio que protege a la lámpara (que es la que escanea) y limpiar los rodillos y el espacio por donde pasa la hoja. De esta forma te aseguras que va a funcionar bien todo el tiempo.Hay una opción de la misma marca y un poco más cara que escanea por los dos lados de la hoja. Yo preferí este modelo porque no tengo tantos documentos de 2 caras y no me importa tardarme un poco en lo que son de 2 caras, además este es mas chico y pesa menos. Hay opciones con alimentador automático y otras prestaciones pero yo creo que si la necesidad de escanear es tanta, mejor invertir en un escáner profesional de cama plana con alimentador etc.Este modelo hace una cosa y la hace muy bien, fácil y sin problemas.

Acquistato da qualche giorno e devo dire che è perfetto.Facile da installare i drivers e i software aggiuntivi. Anche su tablet con wind. 8. Veloce e piccolo da mettere in valigetta.Speriamo duri.

Me gustó mucho. Lo conecté a mi mac y tuve que bajar el software de la pagina de brother, pues mi compu ya no tiene entrada para ponerle el dvd que trae. Una vez instalado, tuve que darle permiso de ejecutarse a la aplicación en los privacy settings de la mac. Después de eso, ya lo pude usar. Es muy sencillo escanear y la calidad es bastante buena. Además, por el tipo de diseño del escaner, se pueden escanear documentos oficio sin problemas. Recomendado!
