Scanning is not done as shown in the pictures.
The picture shows a one-sided receipt placed in the document feeder printed side up. But one-sided scans, per Brother help, receipts need placed in a carrier sheet, printed side down. All one-sided documents need placed face down to scan. I like to place my documents printed side up.

Good quality scanner!
I have been needing a scanner to upload documents and make copies of things, and this one works great! It is super easy to use although the set up was a bit difficult. It's made it so much easier to scan documents and I would definitely recommend it!
Great Scanner!
This is a great scanner! Perfect for personal use and can even be used in a small office. It's super compact and doesn't take much space. It's super fast and can do single-sided or double-sided. It's super easy to hook it up to a computer or SharePoint.
Scan Fast
The Brother Scanner 3100 is great, I love how fast it scans my documents and how it only takes 1 Scan for it to go through and does front to back. Super easy to setup and good for home and office use. This is a basic scanner. I say basic because it scans your receipts and documents fast and effectively.Can load

Good Size
This scanner is a good fit for my home office. Admittedly I have a smaller space and this doesn’t take up nearly as much space as I thought it would which is great. It’s not the sleekest looking one but definitely gets the job done, and was easy enough to set up even for tech-challenged people like me.

nifty little scanner
This is really useful if you have a large amount of papers to scan. Such as receipts, business cards, documents. The tray on top adjusts so you can scan different size docs, and it pretty fast. I've set it up to scan to my computer so I can send things as PDFs, but you can directly scan to a usb if you want. No

Convenient for receipts
Brother scanner is a convenient way to save receipts, documents. The unit is compact so it does not take up a lot of room. I am not tech savvy so I did have assistance in setting up to my laptop. Works fast, quiet easy to use.
