What is the quality of the scanner? I have an old MFC8860 and the scanner is terrible. AS well the feeder for copying does and never has worked well. Is this machine a step up or is the scanner quality poor? How's feeding multiple pages for copying work? Don't want to buy another dog. What is the quality of the scanner?

I've only scanned a handful of docs-seems to work good. Our multi page feeder works great. We have the 8910 at our front desk-small healthcare office & I have our old 8860 back by my desk & that still works good including multi feeder after 5 or 6 years. We like the Brother machines after several bad experiences with HP. Good luck. Jim

I am jot sure if you were able yo read my complete review, but I returned it. The device kept tripping my breaker and it was the loudest printer that I ever used. If it's for home use, I would not recommend it.

i have owned MFC8910DW for 3 months now and am very pleased with the scanning performance. the scanning is very quick, and the feeder works great for multiple pages, either for one side or dual side. the scan rate slows down if you want higher resolution or color, but for my general purpose application where text is of interest, the rate is very quick (dont remember the DPI, 150x150 i think). the iphone app works very well too, the only complaint i have is that the app does not have option for dual page. the wireless works flawlessly as well.in general, i am very happy with this printer. i have owned MFC8910DW for 3 months now and am very pleased with the scanning performance. the scanning is very quick, and the feeder works great for multiple pages, either for one side or dual side. the scan rate slows down if you want higher resolution or color, but for my general purpose application where text is of interest, the rate is very quick (dont remember the DPI, 150x150 i think). the iphone app works very well too, the only complaint i have is that the app does not have option for dual page. the wireless works flawlessly as well.in general, i am very happy with this... » Read More i have owned MFC8910DW for 3 months now and am very pleased with the scanning performance. the scanning is very quick, and the feeder works great for multiple pages, either for one side or dual side. the scan rate slows down if you want higher resolution or color, but for my general purpose application where text is of interest, the rate is very quick (dont remember the DPI, 150x150 i think). the iphone app works very well too, the only complaint i have is that the app does not have option for dual page. the wireless works flawlessly as well.in general, i am very happy with this printer. « Show Less

I have not noticed any markedly less quality compared to the HP Photosmart scanners I had before, but it may not be quite as good as my dedicated Canon scanner. If scanning photos is your primary objective, I would not rely on the Epson WorkForce. I would get a dedicated scanner.

The printer will cache the scans in memory while waiting for you to flip the pages over and feed it through again, then it will print out the pages. Its a minor step needed to be taken. I thought it would be an issue for me but in the long run it has not been. Having said that if, you are doing a lot of replication you may want to consider a different printer with a duplexing scanner.

The one I bought never worked right, it would not feed the document through. I threw it away. And got a thing called cam scanner for my Android phone. It's the only scanner I've needed in 4 years. No need for Windows and it does ocr and allows me to save as pdf so I can do whatever I want with it all from my phone or tablet.

I just tried importing with Doxie docs and pics scanned from other devices. It would not do this task. Doxie gave me the error message that these items were not scanned by Doxie. This is a great scanner but will not do what yu ask. I would contact Doxie to see if there is a workaround.

I have this scanner. It only scans on one side. I never installed the software that came with it because it was immediately recognized by my mac. It may have software that assists with the page ordering but I'm sure you'd have to run the document through twice. I'd google it to see if you can get the manual online. Either that or see if there is some freeware to assist with the page ordering.

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 don't know if it works with windows 8. They have a phone number you can call and they are very helpful. I have tried many top of the line scanners. They all have the same problem. They scan well but cant think. They don't read and determine what they are scanning and what field it should be transferred to. i ended up returning this scanner. It is cool. it will scan quickly and put information into a contact page. But the information will always have typos and errors. you spend more time reviewing and fixing then you would just entering the card manually. If you find an intelligent scanner. Let us know.

Too late for Anni, but if anyone else has this question . . . I have had this scanner for nearly longer than I can remember (at least more than 7 years of heavy use) with ABSOLUTELY NO failures/issues.

Hi Andrei. It's pretty quick actually. I never scan more than say 10-15 pages at a time though. The auto feed works great for this too. I actually own 3 of these all-in-ones for various locations.

Just to confirm. It does NOT work with any other Epson scanners than what is listed in the prior post. Even the newer Epson scanners replacing those discontinued models are NOT compatible. I mistakenly purchased a V500 with the feeder, and it didn't recognize it. A long call to Epson support confirmed that they do not have any models for the feeder at this time, and recommended I keep watching their site in case that changes.

I'm thinking of buying this scanner. I am an oral historian and need a portable scanner to take with me on my interviews. I will be scanning photos, news clippings, all kinds of things. Question: does it really work with Windows 7 64 bit. I have an HP laptop I'm planning to use it with. Current feedback would be great. Thanks!

The scanner is very portable, and this prevents it from havinga sheet feeder. So yes, you do. Even at that, I found it much fasterthan using a printer/scanner and turning the sheets over, which makesa rather hard to use file.

I am glade that it works on Mac now. I am thinking about buying one for my small office all-mac environment.You mentioned that the scanner only works with usb. Have you tried network to scan?Another thing I keep wondering, in general, that all the all-in-one should have an option to receive fax as a digital document instead of printing it out. If you find it, please do let me know.

Yes! I have been happy with this scanner. Has a reasonable price tag. Good luck!
