Fast and clear scans

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm used to scanners that scan at a decent speed, but when you have a pile of documents, receipts and invoices to scan it's never fast enough and there's a good chance some wont scan clearly. Enter the Brother ADS-3300W. This thing scans so fast I barely have enough time to get another pile organized to scan! The clarity is unreal, everything is clear and legible, there's no weird artifacts, grey or black areas that didnt scan properly like some of my previous scanners. Setting up the wireless capabilities was simple, but if you have experience with setting up electronics via wifi and updating drivers, it's a piece of cake. So glad I got it and the amount of time its saved me, as well as the frustration its saved me from bad scans, is incredible.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Needs more instructions

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It took me an hour and 15 minutes to get this thing to scan. I still gave it 4 stars because I don’t have a ton of experience setting up things like this. My plan when I ordered this was to sit in front of a large filing cabinet, place papers in this scanner, and hit a button to wirelessly scan the papers to my email so I can electronically file them. I can tell this is possible with this scanner, but it would not work for me. I kept getting error messages about network settings. After searching the Brother website for help, Googling terms I didn’t understand, checking my router settings, and some patience, I finally got this set up wirelessly to my PC but I have to hit the scan button on my computer and the files get saved to my computer. This isn’t what I was looking for, but it does work. The scanner itself has a very small footprint, scans quickly and quietly, and folds up nicely for storage. I’m just using this in my home office but this is a very sleek and professional looking machine. Maybe someday when I have a bit more patience I will try again to set this up the way I want it, but doing it the way I have it set up now will work just as well, too.

Easy to use, smaller footprint

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I work from home and need to scan documents and photos regularly. Previously, I was using my phone to take photos of documents, which was hard to manage, and I also used an older scanner. This scanner is much easier - setup was a breeze, and it takes up less space than the one I was using before. It can scan both sides of a document without having to flip it over, which is really neat. Great quality scans, as well. If you do a lot of document scanning, I highly recommend this scanner.

Speed, Simplicity, and Superior Scanning
on May 5, 2022

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Who likes the idea of setting up a new computer device? Not me. Thankfully, Brother has yet again made the task effortlessly simple and smooth. I honestly was too lazy to go grab the instruction booklet so I just plugged the scanner, with the included cord, into the back of my Mac and off I went.
Setting up was as easy as plugging it in, opening up settings, then printers and scanners, and then clicking the + sign. It popped up with the Brother scanner, I selected it and bam I was ready to scan.
I quickly foraged around the desk to find something to test the scanner with. My sons artwork was the first thing I grabbed. A five year olds art is often crumpled a bit, so I was worried that it might give the scanner a problem. The clips are easy to adjust to the dimensions of whatever size that needs scanning and it wasn’t a hassle at all unlike some other scanners I have used. The scanner automatically knows when you’ve loaded a scannable object and the “scan” option on the screen becomes selectable.
Within 1 second, not an exaggeration, the scanner quietly sucked the artwork through and onto the highly extendable discharge tray. I can’t emphasize enough how quickly this bad boy scanned this art. Before the bewilderment could even fade I was looking at a CRYSTAL clear image of my son’s artwork on my computer screen.
You then have the option to name it and save it. You can even change the orientation.
I was most excited about the option to scan items to your cell phone and boy Brother didn’t disappoint. I originally downloaded an app for older models, which was no hassle because as soon as I tried adding the 3300 the app told me I needed the “mobile connect” app and promptly directed me to the correct app on the App Store.
Once downloaded I simply selected add device and then it asked if the scanner was connected to the same WiFi network as my phone. It was. It found the scanner within seconds, I clicked add, and then again tested the artwork. Hit scan on your phone and within seconds you’ll have a crystal clear scanned image that is easily saved or shared directly from your phone.
Setting up the WiFi on the scanner was extremely intuitive and was done in a matter of a minute.
Overall I am blown away by this scanner. It will make organizing receipts and document clutter entertaining instead of a chore. Not to mention I now have a whole folder of artwork on my computer so my fridge doesn’t have art flying off every time I need a snack. Well done Brother. 10/10 would recommend.

Great little scanner

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very pleased with this. Setup was fairly easy, pairing with my computer had no problems. The quality of the scan is impeccable, I was very impressed. I love that it is wireless, the fewer cords the better these days! I'm worried about it getting dusty so will probably buy a cover for it.

Super Fast!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This little desktop scanner is great! It's super quick and can go up to 600 dpi which is great for scanning high-quality documents or creating high-quality scans. I did have to download a few drivers online, but that is to be expected. The only thing I wish was a little clearer is the fact you have to flip the document you want to be scanned – it's easy once you scan your first document, but it'd be nice if there was a bit more of a "how to" guide in the manual.

Awesome

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a case with papers and papers filed away and always thought about the what if, flood, fire or disaster. So I got this to now scan all documents in my computer and save in files or on a zip file and boy was this the right move. From unpacking to an easy setup I was scanning within minutes. Directions are easy to understand and now I'm half way through scanning and saving. This is a life saver for every document I have.

Great Powerful Scanner

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is hands down one of the better scanners I have used. Very easy to use and the scanning process is by far faster than any of my other all in one printers. Wireless set up was easy. Awesome touchscreen with easy to follow menus. Easily scan to computer or to a USB drive that you can connect directly to the scanner. It will scan both sides in one pass. The feeder can hold about 60 pages at a time. Not to mention the compact size is perfect for any office.
