It takes some configuration to get it on the network and set up the scanning destinations (the web interface is not intuitive), but once that's done, it just works. Assign it a static IP address to make your life easier, and configure the buttons. I scan to pdf to a samba network share that Paperless NGX watches, and it's pretty seemless. Scan quality is good, and it only has trouble feeding when the papers are stuck together or bent badly.

We've taken a paper intensive office to paperless with these little guys. Originally bought one to try (figuring it might not be what we needed) then bought a second. Now each workstation has one and we purchased one for home use. Bottom line: They don't take up much space (as far as office equipment goes) the original ones have been working over a year for us, they're easy to use, and they are reasonably priced.If one ever does go down, we will get another.Only downside we've run into is they don't like tape on documents to be scanned.Recommend. Thanks for a good product!

It won't scan

The interface is poor, hard to understand - but the functions are good and the quality is good. The price was right - otherwise, I would have picked up competitions. Second one I got, so am getting use to have it works - issues relate to software not finding the unit etc. not easy locating where to set static ip etc. But if you are technical, you'll figure it out.

My family's paperwork storage has really gotten out of hand over the last couple years. My wife and I keep all of our purchase / payment records for anything other than food, and after 15 years of accumulating paperwork, receipts, invoices, bills, taxes, and a myriad of other things, we got up to our third filing box. It was filling up *much* more quickly than prior, as we now have three children's worth of school/medical/(etc) being filed away in addition to our 'normal' inflow... So I decided it was time to digitize!I set up a self-hosted Paperless-NGX server/application, the different document types (receipts, medical, taxes, et al), configured automated tagging and filing based on keywords and whatnot, and was finally ready to start scanning. I had no idea what I was in for with trying to use an all-in-one for this - absolutely no idea.We have an HP OfficeJet that has a 35 page capacity document feeder for scanning, and I frankly thought this would be perfect. It's a bit older at this point, but we've kept it because we can use whatever ink we want, the prints look better than average, and it never seems to jam except due to human error... But I'd no idea how SLOW this would be. Sometimes 8-10 minutes for a stack of papers! So I'd walk away to do something else for a minute, come back, and find it had decided to double-feed several times, requiring me to re-scan the whole stack... Again. This was made many times worse by the fact that many of the docs we're needing to scan came in the mail folded at one point, and it seemed the creases in the paper would 'catch' for those far more than others.Finally opted for this scanner - I'm responsible for the network in our house, and I didn't want another wifi device that eventually would stop receiving updates and become vulnerable to security exploits over the air 5-7 years down the line, and this hard-wired option fit the bill perfectly. It also seems to fair FAR better at handling difficult-to-feed papers than anything I've worked with before. The scans are crisp enough that the OCR (optical character recognition, the part of the Paperless server that makes the generated PDF's searchable) has yet to have any issues misidentifying letters/words or numbers. Double-sided is possible in a single pass (no more flipping them over and running them back through for the other side).And this thing is WICKED FAST, especially compared to our old officejet. I know there are faster units out there, but given I've so many different types of documents to scan (and hence need to choose a different profile to use so they scan 1-sided vs 2, color vs B/W, etc), I can't say that I think it scanning any faster would actually be of much benefit to me.The UI (browser based) takes some getting used to, and is frankly a bit clunky... But once you get it set up, you pretty well never have to mess with it again, so that's became a non-issue to me.One of the easiest 5 star reviews I've ever written!

deux cartons de vieux cours papier transformés en numérique vitesse, recto verso, utilisation que du bonheur. Exactement ce que je cherchais. Rapport qualité prix impeccable. Volume discret. Je conseille.

This scanner is a work horse, It scans documents fast and the software that comes with it is easy to use. You can take your file cabinet and clean it out and store everything on your computer. The scanner is small and takes no room on you desk. It scans unto 1200X1200 dpi. I use 300X300 for documents and looks perfect. I use a Brother scanner at work daily and have been very happy with it. I can't say enough good about this scanner.

rien a redire pour ce produit simple et rapide a prendre en main.

Brother makes quality sheetfeed scanners. They all have 600x600 max resolution (higher with software interpolation, but if you need higher resolution than 600x600 you'll want either higher hardware resolution or something like OnOne's software to increase your image resolution in Lightroom or Photoshop). Most desktop sheetfeed scanners top out at 600x600, including even Epson's FastFoto scanners which are specifically made for scanning photographs in high quality.There is some differentiation between scanner bands in ability to handle paper, but despite owning similar Fujitsu, Canon and Epson desktop scanners, I have noticed no major scanning differences between the four big brands. Nor does one brand have overwhelmingly better software than another, with one exception: if you are seeking a photo sheetfeed scanner, Epson's FastFoto scanner's photo scanning software is significantly better than my other sheetfeeed scanners.This is a fine desktop scanner. It handles and scans multiple documents well and produces good scans. This 4100 version is similar to the 3100 scanner, but with double the duplex scanning speed of either the 3100 or 3300 models--80 ppm vs 40 ppm.Thus, the argument for this scanner over the 3100 or 3300 is almost entirely speed of scanning. Otherwise, in software and other capabilities, this is almost identical to the 3100 while the 3300 has two features this scanner lacks: a touch LCD screen with preset buttons that can be defined for one-step sending of scans AND wifi connectivity which both this 4100 model and the 3100 model lack.So I would suggest either moving up to the equally fast 80 ppm 4700 scanner which has wifi as well as a larger LCD screen with more preset buttons than the 3300, or down to the 3300 which, though slower, has both wifi and a small LCD screen to control it.If you will be satisfied with only USB or ethernet connecting your scanner and computer, get this scanner. If you want remote operation, or you want to scan to a phone or tablet, get the 3300 or 4700 which not only have wifi, but with their preset buttons on the LCD screen permit easier operation away from your computer.At just a $20 increase in price for wifi and LCD screen options on the 3300, I strongly recommend the 3300 over the 4100. But if you want the increasded speed of the 4100m consider also the 4700 which has the same speed but includes both the LCD screen and wifi for $120 more.Finally, you may want to consider other software than that provided with the scanner if you are seriously into either photos or OCR. I have OmniPage for OCR and LIghtroom/Photoshop for photos.
