Both machines run windows 11. Takes second to sync with laptop. Just unplug your usb and replug to reset it. To install, the quick guide tells you to plug it into a usb port.

Brother's scanner has really high quality scans. It scans at 300 dpi but the scans look just as good as my office's thousand+ dollar flat bed scanner that scans at 1200 dpi. It's very fast and you can select whatever folder to save the scans to.

The device grabs onto the page when it senses a new page. There is a notch on the scanner that detects when there is a page inserted and holds the page. It is worth spending the extra $30-$40 bucks for double-sided pages scan feature.

Build quality is awesome. The build quality is better than the epsons too. I'm impressed with the brand as that they are an established company.

It is a pretty good mobile scanner. The only issue i have with it is that it is a little tricky to get things to feed.

Brother company is egregiously slow in dealing with driver updates. Tried several ways to correct the problem but to no avail. Ironically it gives them the same fatal error message. Then, the only thing you can do is reboot your computer.
