Review: A good portable scanner - A good little scanner. It’s portable and efficient. It scans effectively. The software is easy to install and easy to use.
Review: Compact, reliable, and a total lifesaver on the go - This little dude is super compact, does exactly what it says, and is perfect for scanning documents or receipts for your records. I’ve been juggling a ton of legal and medical paperwork while traveling constantly, and this thing has made it so much easier. Honestly, it’s better than the big, clunky all-in-one printer/scanners back at my office. The Brother software is surprisingly decent too—clean interface, no fuss.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How many pagers will this scan at one time?**
A: Please note this is for the DS-740D (which does double-sided page scans; the DS-640 is not a duplex scanner. It is worth spending the extra $30-$40 bucks for double-sided pages scan feature).

It took me a while to figure this out. Yes, it scans multi documents (continuous feed) but you have to feed the sheets one at a time (which is much better than scanning individually. It will add all your scans into 1 document (such as PDF). 
The previous user answering this question did not give a complete or totally correct answer: yes, you can push the button each time but it is better to feed the documents without pushing the start button every time. Here's how:

I do not own Windows so this ***this the instructions for MAC**** (I am sure the software for Windows is probably much easier):
- Download the Brother iPrint&Scan app software from their website as well as the scanner driver and install.
- Plug in your device to computer.
- Open the iPrint&Scan app (software).
You will see two options: a "Scan" icon OR the "DS-740D" printer icon.
- If you push the "Start button" (on the physical device) you will set all your scan preferences ahead of time under the black printer icon (labeled) DS-740D) on the iPrint software at the "Machine Scan Settings" option. This method is the LONG way for multiple sheets and is best to use for a one-off quick scan (unless you want to push the physical button 100 times for large documents).
- If you want to use continuous feed: CLICK the black scanner icon in the iPrint software. 
a) Click: "All Settings" - go to Feed Control & checkmark "Continuous Scan" (ON)
b) Put your first page in the scanner. 
c) Click the green "SCAN" button (on the software, NOT the start button on the device). After it scans, just keep feeding the scanner. It will keep scanning all the documents. The nice thing about this device is it gently grabs onto your page it senses a new page (this way you don't have to shove it)
d) When you are done, click the "Finish" scanning button (that will show in the software window). After this,  you will see a preview of your scans/ you can name your file/ choose what format you want to save the docs as/ set PDFs to OCR if needed (a lot of options here). The best part is you can also click the "ADD" button if  you want to add more pages.

I know this is kinda long but you won't find good instruction on the online manual or from the Brother Support team replying here.

**Q: Can I scan 1200 dpi x 1200**
A: The Brother DS640  machine has a Interpolated Scan Resolution (max. dpi) up to 1200 x 1200 dpi and an Optical Scan Resolution (max. dpi) 600 X 600. We recommend  you to check all the specifications of the product at our support site.

**Q: Is this a good scanner for photos?**
A: The Brother DS-640 scanner is good for scanning photos.

**Q: Can this scanner scan to a flash drive or must you go through computer hook up?**
A: The Brother DS640 does not support scanning to USB flash drive and does require a computer for scanning.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A good portable scanner

A good little scanner. It’s portable and efficient. It scans effectively. The software is easy to install and easy to use.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Glowing Review ~ 2.5 Years Post-Purchase
*by P***S on September 30, 2025*

I purchased this scanner about 2 and a half years ago and it continues to work flawlessly... This is impressive as I admittedly purchased this portable on-the-go scanner for a very different task - to digitize all the documents in my filing cabinet from the last 30 years. The initial wave included around 5000 documents soooo no question it has paid itself off. To be honest, at this point, there isn't much I haven't tried feeding through this thing - credit cards, sparkly greeting cards, supplement cardboard box packaging, etc. so I'm continually impressed it hasn't broken. When theres an issue (feeding documents too quickly, a paper jam, etc) the indicator light blinks red and, as far as I know, to remedy this you lift the top portion and close it... I've had to do this many times (which is not to say it malfunctions often) but each time it sounds/feels like the act alone should break the thing. The only bummer to me is the scanning length limitation. While the width limitation is a given due to the physical dimensions of the scanner, the documents are fed through and each individual scan is limited to around 14". That is, it stops feeding through at a certain point and if the item hasn't cleared, you get the red indicator light and the image isn't processed. Other things I like: + the cord is detachable + I was able to download and operate the supporting software on my dinosaur 2011 mac air + the software has a continuous feed feature to scan multiple documents in a row (without having to interact with the software between pages)
