Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Scanning is very fast - up to 35 scans per minute depending on resolution and duplex options. It scans double-sided and does both sides at the same time, so you don't have to worry about your document jamming while being * back through the scanner to ...  Read More

Menu navigation is intuitive and uncluttered. This scanner is highly versatile. Works great mostly.

Brother ads-2700w seems to compete with the fujitsu ix500. No jamming or quitting unexpectedly.



Cons

Brother laser printer prints black lines across the page. Paper handing is a catastrophe. The scanner says it will scan up to 50 pages at a time however, it usually errors out at 10 - 15 pages. When attempting to save a scanned document to my pc, i re...  Read More

Brother scanner does not appear to be fully compatible with big sur. Brother website is obtuse regarding the drivers and the information is not clearly displayed regarding compatibility.

What a disappointment. Color me wrong. This is ridiculous. But was lacking the brains to add in the labor for two tech calls.

The documentation for this product is extremely sub par. It also does a horrible job with the shadows and grays, producing a heavy grain and unnatural dithered look. The pdf file that's generated from this chaotic, messy, unmanageable process is a jok...  Read More

This is one time i'm thinking brother cheaped out. I'm sure their finance dept thought it was a wise move to save $2. This scanner is not a time saver and is very expensive.

Quality


Save profiles for diff doc settings (output format, resolution, substantial duty cycle - i was scanning 2-3,000+ pages per day ...  Read More


It is easy to use, quick, and of great quality.


The scan function on my canon mx922 mfp has been flaky for months, either from age or a deficient canon driver for os 11.


About 2 weeks after initial setup the scanner would take an additional 10-15 seconds or so after cold boot up to be detected by...  Read More

Price


Finally, the price makes it an incredible value.


It would cost way more than the printer was worth to fix it.


I wanted a dedicated, network-ready document scanner and the pickings were slim under $1000.


The scanner is pricey, but very fast.

Shipping


The scanner arrived within days of ordering.

Packaging/appearance


I had boxes and boxes of documents, receipts, and photos to scan.

Competitiveness


Epson requires an extra cost $350 control module for their cheaper scanners, fujitsu got so/so reviews so i fell back on brother.


My research came down to this ads-2700 machine and the 1600 fujitsu.


By the way, only the higher-end brothers say they can scan directly to printers, but many networked printers have a ftp server built in.

    When my multi function machine scanner portion started to fail me i decided to purchase a new stand alone scanner to avoid the frustration of the old one

    This machine may be compact in size but a giant in convenience


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Cons poor instructions on set up


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Once you download the instruction manual be prepared as to how many pages it is if you decide to print it out


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Pros not only will this scan both sides on one pass but it will auto detect if document is single or printed on both sides


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Have scanned different sizes of related documents on one pass with no document jams


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I think in order to add that feature software there is a fee for it not sure but they ask you to sign up online


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
