Too Basic

This review is for the Brother iPrint&Scan 8.0 scanning utility which I’m using with a newly purchased Brother HL-L2395DW scanner/printer.
I’m using it on an iMac over a wifi connection and it does work, but the lack of anything but the most basic scanning features is pretty disappointing.

The most egregious of these misses is the inability to run a quick preview scan and then specify the scanning area with a bounding box before hitting the final Scan button. If you’re scanning anything other than a standard-size page, you will need to scan at the largest page size (8.5×11) and then crop what you want using another application, such as Apple’s built-in Preview app. This means it will take extra time to scan and extra time to edit the result. Even the 20-year-old Epson this printer replaced provided a preview/crop feature, as has every other scanning software I’ve ever used in the past 30 years.
If you’re only ever scanning documents it’s serviceable, but anything else such as an odd sized photo or drawing, it’s a drag.

Oh brother.

This Brother iPrint & Scan app (version 8.0.0) is terrible. Firstly, it sometimes connects to my brand new Brother printer, MFC-L5850DW via network and other times disconnects itslelf. It’s a very buggy app via network connection. However with USB, it doesn’t. So the wireless feature is useless. Secondly, you can’t precrop a scanned image like any other scanning app where you first see the scan and then crop what you desirably want. That means if you have anything that is not in Letter size, you’ll have to crop manually. What a time waster, honestly. Thirdly, the colors of the scan with this app is not true to the image. Seriously, I tested under various setting and the color was never right. For mac users, just stick to the scanning utility in your default printing settings. You’ll save the time AND the headache. Please update the app to support reliable network connection, cropping feature, and better color correction.

Fall Down Simple to Use

I have been using a Samsung for the past 8 years and have been very satisfied with it. But it is harder to maintain than this one was to set up. And, it never worked printing from WIFI or my iPhone, though it claimed to. Maybe it was just not ready for prime time. This one is. The daughter wanted the old home office printer to take to work. I bought this one to replace it. It is a Brother HL-3290CDW. I set it up in the kitchen, it acquired the WIFI. I prepared the ink, very easily. Moved it to the office to connected the USB cable. Finished the setup and found I could print from anywhere in the house via the WIFI, with smart phones, iPhones, tablets, and notebook computers. Not a single problem. I would have given it five stars, but I have not tried the OCR feature yet, nor read the manual. I had one surprise, it printed double-sided and very fast. This a very good simple all in one printer, copier and more.

The jury is still out

As the old Brother Control Centree stopped working on the newer versions of OS. I’ve had to adopt this poor step Brother of a version.
PDF are non croppable and I really wish Brother would’ve just updated the old control suite which was absolutely fantastic. Now scanning the smallest doc such as a passport or driving licence to PDF creates a whole page document. To be honest I can’t remember how the old one worked and I’m slowly coming to grips with this version. You have to download somehting else to go with it that comes up when you install. But it does what it’s supposed to in the end I suppose.

Useless Rubbish

This is an almost completely useless bit of software for a printer that also appears to be next to bloody useless!
Apple doesn’t have the drivers for the Brother printer (a DCP 1610) and the Brother website seems to offer me nothing more than this useless rubbish: apart from offering to scan things (I dare not try this yet), it appears that all it will print off are PDF documents. So this crap printer (nor software) won’t allow me to do the most basic of functions usually associated with a printer, including printing a Word document or a spreadsheet.
I was not impressed with Brother printers from previous experience of them. This just cnfirms that they should be avoided. There are WAY beter alternative manufacturers out there and this is just awful rubbish.

Awful

I don’t usually write reviews but to save other people the effort it just doesn’t work. Having recently upgraded to Big Sur it is disappointing to find drivers for my workhorse HL1210 printer not available. Searching Brother online leads you to download this as the alternative. You cannot print straight from an app but have to open this to find the file to then print it. Having searched all night tonight I cannot find a way to print a Word document, only will allow me to print pdf and photos. I appreciate that this is mainly used as an iOS app but come on Brother, if you are going to tout it as an OS app at least give it basic some functionality — not being able to print a Word document is just crazy!

Can only print image files

I’m going to let that sink in for a second.
I repeat: It can ONLY print image files. And really basic ones at that.

I downloaded this to get access to more advanced features, and it literally can’t print a document.
No Word docs, no PDFs, no spreadsheets, not even basic text documents…

If you want to do scanning, just use Mac’s built in ‘Image Capture’ app. There is absolutely NO reason for this program to exist.

Brother, seriously.
Either update this immediately, or remove it and stop wasting people’s time. It’s making your brand look ridiculous and unprofessional.
I WAS happy with a Brother printer, but now I’m having second thoughts…

I’m literally telling my coworkers this story as a joke.

Good and Bad points

Firstly, I use PDFScanner app for all my scanning needs and have done for several years with a monochrome brother MFC — worked brilliantly and I loved that I could do duplex scanning. Then my wife decides we need a colour laser so I stick with Brother and buy a MFCL3750 — first Big Sur can’t detect my scanner and therefore PDFScanner app can’t either. Then I discover there is no duplex scanning on my bigger, flasher and more expensive unit. After serveral hours I discover iPrint&Scan which miraculously allows me to detect my scanner and to scan. I also find I can open my scanned docs in PDF Scanner and process docs just like I always have. So for that reason I am reasonably happy with the app, although I would prefer to be able to just use PDF Scanner directly if anyone from Brother is reading this and can figure out how to enable Big Sur to be compatible with Brother MFC scanners again

Very Impressed!

Downloading and installing was a breeze! Settings were easy to set and worked, first time. Interface is beautiful and, so far, everything has worked flawlessly. I cannot fault this app (and also cannot understand the negative reviews!).

Bewertungen und Rezensionen

Kostet nichts und funktioniert.

Folgendes Equipment: MacBook Air mit M1 Chip BigSur, Brother MFC-J497DW. Nach der Installation wurde das MFC sofort gefunden. Einzelblatt- und mehrere Blätter hintereinander hat funktioniert, leider nicht der doppelseitige Scan (Vor- und Rückseite mit automatischem Einzug). Dokumente können in verschiedenen Formaten gespeichert werden. Standard ist PNG, JPG und PDF haben einwandfrei funktioniert. Nervig war anfangs, dass die letzten Einstellungen (Dok-Type, Speicherplatz usw.) nicht gespeichert wurden. Zu jedem neuen Scan mussten die Werte neu gesetzt werden. Also die Funktion Workflow ausprobiert. Mit ihr kann man verschiedene Einstellungen speichern und je nach Bedarf benutzen. Leider kann man hier nach dem Scan und vor dem Speichern nicht den Dateinamen vergeben, man muss die Datei später umbenennen. Grundsätzlich für den erweiterten Hausgebrauch eine gute Lösung. Ich benutze die APP auch unter IOS und bin auch da zufrieden. Vor allem keine nervige Registrierungen und Anmeldung wie neuerdings bei HP.

Vermisse «Hintergrundfarbe entfernen»

Die App funktioniert unter Catalina prinzipiell gut.
Die Scan Geschwindigkeit ist aber im Vergleich zum ControlCenter unter Mojave viel langsamer.
Sehr vermisst wird die notwendige erweiterte Funktion «Hintergrundfarbe entfernen»; sehr nützlich beim Scan von doppelseitig bedruckten Dokumenten. Diese ist selbst in der ansonsten spartanischen App «Brother ScannerApp» enthalten. Bitte in der nächsten Version nachreichen. Dann ist es perfekt!

Übersichtlich und schnell

Der Scan in der aktuellen Version (6.1.0) ist absolut schnell, zuverlässig, gut lesbar. Deutliche Verbesserung ggü. dem Control-Center (32bit). Insbesondere sieht man die gescannten Seiten/Blätter (z.B. 11-Seiten Kaufvertrag) in der Übersicht. Ich habe den Eindruck, dass der Scan zudem deutlich schärfer ist. Nur empfehlenswert. Auch das Abspeichern in der Datei erfolgt problemlos und schneller als im Control-Center.
