Purchased to be able to scan and save documents to my laptop. Works great for my needs. It was easy to set up and has been easy to scan and save my docs. Scans have come out clear and straight; make sure to adjust the knob for page size to keep your paper straight as it feeds through to keep the image from going crooked. It does only take one paper at a time but you can easily add additional papers to the same scan. Only down side is it doesn’t scan two sides at once but that’s not a deal breaker. Very happy with my purchase.

Not sure why I’m surprised how easy it is to use this, everything else I’ve bought from Brother has been top-notch. I was hesitant to try a feed-through scanner instead of the classic flatbed but this scanner is amazing. It’s compact and easily portable, captures details beautifully, and the iPrint&Scan app makes everything work effortlessly. (I also have a brother label maker, toner printer, and sewing machine, this has cinched it that Brother is my go-to for all applicable, future technological purchases.)

The Brother DS-640 Compact Mobile Document Scanner, (Model: DS640) is perfect. Fast and easy to operate. Do not let the small size fool you. This scanner exceeds expectations for a portable scanner.

Works perfect to scan documents and add to accounts! Single or multiple documents aren’t a problem for this little guy. So little it fits almost anywhere. It’s simple & easy to use so it doesn’t add aggravation to my tasks!

Great for what we need.

So, let’s start this off by saying one this — Yes! The DS-640 is a great scanner… HOWEVER.. It does have some issues that bring it down a peg or two..
I’ll start this off by highlighting the positives —
It’s portable. It’s easy to use. It’s lightweight.
On the downside —
It’s infuriating after scanning only a few documents that you’re told “OH NO! We’re out of memory!” .. The first time it happened I stared at the message on-screen and thought to myself.. How the heck can it be out of memory when I have 64 GB of high-speed RAM in the computer… Then I remembered that the chips inside these scanners have temporary memory built-in… but then the kicker… …buuut I only scanned TWO PAGES… They were 3 color (black, blue, red) documents and standard paper size. It’s not like it was a full-size poster in crisp detail at maximum resolution, bitrate, with edits… This was a major failure of the design, and was actually my first experience with the scanner, which as I don’t need to mention, is NOT GOOD! A terrible look for the BRAND, as this was my first ownership of their brand’s product, and not good for the future of this little new device sitting on my desk with the threat of return, due to a degraded trust in the product. If it’s going to fail me on day one, what’s it going to do on day 365?
That brings me on to my next quarrel with this device. Resolution and color limitations by size. If I want to scan a sheet of paper at the fullest-size available for this device in the MAXIMUM allowed quality (resolution and color and bitrate), why am I limited from doing so by software? We physically know the scanner can do it, because we can do it with other smaller sheets and the compliance with the HARDWARE is there… but for some reason, I get rejected by software when I want to actually use the product to its fullest potential, hardware wise.
With auto document sizing set to “On” you can only scan stuff at a resolution of 300×300 dpi, regardless of being set to black and white or full 24-bit color.
The device does have a slider to control a guide for paper size, but it’s so flimsy and loose in the track that even if a document does start to kink to one side, it’s pushing that guide out of the way. No sense in even having it there, really.
The port on this scanner is not a generic connection, and requires a dedicated special cable to hookup to your PC by USB, so don’t expect to be able to head down to your local PC repair shop and snag a new cable after your pet gerbil decided that the big thick black cable looked like a delicious after-dinner licorice dessert.
With all this in mind, choose carefully.
If you’re using this to scan documents in an office setting, it’s fine, I guess. Just be ready to scan that 43-page packet 5 times over until the software quits telling you that it magically ran out of memory.
If you’re using this to scan photos, whip out the old handy-dandy ruler and be ready to fight with size-presets telling you that you can’t use the fullest scan quality on auto-sizing.
As the package says — Be sure to save your box and packing materials, in case you do ever need to send the unit back in for service or repairs. I recommend buying a wet/dry scanner cleaning kit.

I bought this scanner because my Epson scanner that was in a checked bag got lost. Decided to give this a try. This is by far a better scanner than the Epson for this product class. I have to scan business documents on the go and this 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. (Epson’s website markets their product as 1200 dpi but the software never lets you go above 300.) Even at 300 dpi, the scans on the Brother’s scanner will still save at around 11-12 MP per page at the highest resolution–way more than I need. The build quality is better than the Epsons too. The software is really intuitive and I had no problem transitioning over.
A couple things I’ve noticed. There is a firmware/driver update on Brother’s website for this scanner that won’t install on my computer. It’s not a big deal to me because the scanner does work great already without it. Lastly, the scanner doesn’t do as well as a flatbed scanner for archiving children’s artwork that has artwork glued to it. It’s still 5/5 because this scanner isn’t really meant for that. Needless to say I’m going to get a Brother’s flatbed scanner for that purpose because this one has far exceeded my expectations!
Edit: After about 300-400 scans, there’s a black line that appears on the scans. Other reviews have the same issue. There is a notch on the scanner that detects when there is a page inserted and holds the page. It looks like this notch is a mechanical issue and not an easy software fix. This isn’t a big deal for me but if you are using the scanner for archiving purposes it might be a deal breaker to have this line.

Decidí a comprar éste escáner ya que la marca en sí, es garantía; y no me equivoqué. La calidad del documento es muy buena y lo hace en cuestión de segundos 🙂 Yo requiero escanear documentos en tamaño legal y este escáner sí lo hace. 10 de 10
