## Questions & Answers

**Q: When I try to scan, it flashes for a long time then eventually scans but it is scanning the pages as separate documents and jpegs.  I need pdf.**
A: I have a MAC. I use the image capture app on the mac to do my scans. It has boxes for settings, like pdf, and for making individual sheets into one document

**Q: I've seen videos in people's reviews where their ads1200 scanner is scanning at least twice the speed of mine. why is mine scanning so slowly?**
A: You can adjust the resolution of the scanning.  Higher resolution scans will take longer than lower resolution scans.

**Q: I need something that won't damage sports cards. Would this be a solution for me?**
A: The Brother ADS-1200 document scanner has a curved document path, so it would not be good for scanning sports cards. When scanning media such as card stock, Brother recommends scanning with a straight document path scanner.

**Q: Does this work with MacBooks?**
A: The ADS-1200 works very well with Macs. To use with a Mac start by going to the Brother website to download the ADS-1200 driver. You will be given a choice of downloading either the TWAIN driver or the ICA driver. On the download page they don’t give you any guidance as to which to choose, but elsewhere in the Brother website I found a statement saying that the TWAIN driver has some compatibility issues with the latest macOS system (Monterey as of this writing), so download the ICA driver. I don’t know why Brother gives you a choice of downloading a driver that may not work. I've found that the ADS-1200 works well with Apple’s Image Capture Application. That’s what ICA stands for. Image Capture is integrated into the macOS and can be found in your applications folder.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pretty good scanner.  Too early to tell of its performance but its doing great.
*by A***. on November 2, 2021*

I bought this scanner in order to make up for the inconvenience of using my older huge HP-Officejet Pro 8600 All-In-One printer. Its been a great scanner no question about it. But turning it on, waiting for it to warm up, and much of the time turning on my desktop computer, can have its drawbacks. I wanted something that I could connect to my laptop and quickly scan other documents, receipt, etc. I had been 'eyeing' many of these portable scanners via Amazon, most of which had these great reviews. After too much searching did I finally come down to this one which seemed to be the winner of cost and features. Despite the fact that the stupid mailman threw the package over my 7-foot fence and landed on the lawn, this Brother ADS-1200 seems to have worked okay. I am very happy with it and I am very impressed with its convenience and use. Although the Officejet Pro 8600 is still capable of scanning certain types of thicker media this smaller scanner will never be able to, it is the smaller receipts that this little one will not be beat. That older 8600 has already scanned thousands of items, it is time to give it a break. I am still on the early stages of using this smaller device, I am still learning from it. I mostly use it to scan smaller receipts which do come by the numbers. It will not scan narrow and excessively long receipts which I occasionally do get. These types of longer ones will get jammed and I usually cut them in half or so before I use several utility programs on my laptop to tailor them into a digital 8½ x 11 sheet. Everything so far went well. Some times you will get a lop-sided receipt but I found this freely downloadable Libre Office program having a feature to straighten them up. Although I have read a number of complaints from people buying this ADS-1200, to me I have found none. Interface software was a breeze to install. Again I am still on the learning phase of using this little beast and I will leave updates if necessary. One of things that left me breathless is how fast it scans small stacks of paper. It beats the 8600 Office Jet Pro hands down. Again - still too many features to use and explore. But so far it has been a life saver. Very, very happy with it. I am so glad I bought it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This bad boy is a workhorse
*by G***S on October 23, 2023*

I've had this over a year now. I needed a scanner that was portable, and this seemed like the best one for the money. After using it for over a year, I can say it was worth every penny!First, when plugged in, this thing is FAST! I don't know the actual speed, but throw a bunch of papers in and they're scanned in a blink of an eye. When it's not plugged in, it's not that fast, but acceptable.You can scan to a thumbdrive, to your tablet or laptop, or to your desktop. If you don't like putting 1000 pages at once in the scanner (or whatever it holds), because you're afraid it'll jam in the middle, no problem. You can scan a batch and then click continue scanning to add more to the same document.Scans in b&w or color. And you can scan to any resolution. As for OCR, it does it, but I don't use that.If you scan right from the scanner (not using desktop computer utility), it'll default to 2 sided copying. I prefer to use the easy to use Brother utility.That's it. I highly recommend it. Only downside is it is not a flatbed scanner for those few times you want to scan a book or something.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Powered by 15w USB-C port on your PC - read the product description
*by C***N on December 19, 2024*

From the product description, "It’s also powered directly through your computer or laptop via a USB-C connection (cable included), so you won’t need to deal with extra cables or plugs in the way."Powering the scanner by USB-C, requires you to have at least one 15w USB-C port on your PC or laptop. If you don't have a 15w USB-C port, you must buy the power supply separately.
