How good is the scanner on this?

Pretty good. Can do single or multiple page scans. Quality choices are okay.

This is our third Brother machine, which we purchased for the home. The other two are in our office. All if them, and specifically this model for hone use, perform excellently in scanning, printing and copying. We use the scanner for images and documents that need to be emailed. You can set up you own preferences for scan types and defaults. There are four main scanning types to set up: color, grey-scale, black and white, and custom. Each has a default you can change. In addition, you can scan to jpeg, PDF, bmp, etc. Although I only use the jpeg and PDF settings. I have used it for images that need to be manipulated in Photoshop, which I scan up at 600dpi for my use. I think it's passable for my use (documents and small photo work).

It is as good as any other scanner. For comparison, HP-F300 scanned the copies with pretty much the same quality. The plus side with this printer is that it is almost twice as fast as the one I just mentioned...

I'm sorry I don't know enough about computers to answer your question. However we are very satisfied with the scanner.

It scans anything of paper thickness that is not wider than the scanner. Once scanned in you can save to any program in your computer to manage documents or photos. The feed works well, so no skewing or blurring that is likely with the "wand" types. I have scanned some of everything - photos, artwork, receipts, ID cards and etc. No problems. This is great. Has little protective case. Just plug into USB port and start scanning. I have had no problems at all with this scanner. And very portable. Fits into my soft laptop case. Highly recommend this little scanner.

Yes, it comes with that stuff. It's a good scanner. If you've had other scanners you'll see that this one is very easy to use.

I have used it to scan in some photos and they turned out well. I think it would depend upon the type whether you wanted to run them through or not, such as old family photos, etc.

The antenna is very good . It does best at 150- 460 mhz . You will do well for 800 mhz digital. But a yaji directioal antenna is better. I have transmitted over 100 miles on 2 letter ham . This is a real plus for a scanner antenna. Good antenna. Overall gain is good. I would buy it again.. good luck Edward James.Pop

It works very well. I take the scanner with me when I need to make copies on the spot. (I am a realtor)

Yes it is. I have only used it to scan old photos and have had no problems. I know this machine can do so much more.

Yes. I believe it is. I set it up several years ago. This is an incredibly fast scanner. I have had two of them for about 6 years with no issues.

Yes, it easily scans receipts. I've used it for scanning them for expense reports at work.

I think the scanner does a great job with 35 mm slides or negatives. It has a slide holder for 4 slides at a time.

I'm sorry - I'm using Windows 7, so I don't know. But I really thought the scanner did a good job and was exactly what I wanted. Hope someone else can answer your question.

This is a good casual scanner, I've tried often to do multi-page documents and find it to be more trouble than it is worth - I then go to my multifunction printer which has a scanner. If you anticipate a lot of multipage documents, I would not suggest this unit, though it can do it, it is just a painful process to get it to work adequately.

I have found the scanner to be every bit as good as a HP5P that I have previousy used for color family photographs. It has high resolution which allows enlargement of smaller photographs with high quality resulis. It is so handy to use, I never use the HP any more. I might add that the scanning software included is excellent. Wendell Hanson

Yes its much better than a scanner. Will work fine with a decent mobile antenna, unless your serious and want to spend some money and invest on really hearing. Otherwise yes to your question.

I used a HP scanner before and was not happy. This scanner works very quickly. The quality of the scans are excellent. I hope this helps. I just finished scanning over 30 yrs. worth of pictures.
