Brother DS-740D in More Detail

Bring your documents to life with the DS-740D portable scanner from Brother. This A4 sheetfed scanner is a compact machine that produces high-resolution scans in both colour and monochrome. It's perfect for businesses looking to save space or professionals working outside of the office.

Simple to use

The Brother DS-740D is perfect for document scanning wherever you are. Thanks to its unique roller system, you don't need extra space behind the scanner to feed your documents through, saving you precious time too. As you feed the material in, it returns to you by gilding over the top of the scanner via its 'U-path' paper feed system. Easy to use and simple to operate, you'll be scanning documents quicker than ever before.

Compact and compatible

Suitable for both Mac and Windows devices, the Brother DS-740D powers directly from a USB 3.0 port. Measuring 301 W x 63 D x 45.3 H mm, its slim design makes it perfect for shorter, one- or two-page documents. This scanner, weighing only 646 g, is ideal for scanning to your laptop when you're out of the office.

Speedy and accurate

Scan up to 15 double-sided A4 pages per minute with the superior duplex scanning speed of 30ipm. The Brother DS-740D's optical character recognition (OCR) means you can scan your documents error-free at up to 1200 x 1200 dpi resolution. Performing above average compared to its competitors, this scanner is an affordable yet effective option for all your scanning needs.

You can send your document via email, OCR, file and image formats straight from the scanner. In conjunction with its nifty size, the Brother DS-740D is fantastic at scanning everything from ID cards to receipts, helping you to access and store your documents with ease.

Ask a Question
Q. This is advertised as a "Sheetfeeder" scanner with 2-sided A4 scanning up to 15 pages per minute, but I cannot see how that can be justified. It has to be fed by hand. There is no sheetfeeder that I have found. Can you clarify what you mean by "sheetfeeder", please?
A. The Brother DS-740D is a sheetfed scanner which requires manual feeding of media into the scanner itself.
