Review: Impressed! - Use for work on the go, super easy, user friendly, works way better than I expected it to.
Review: Works with Linux (Fedora) - This is a nice little duplex scanner. I bought the factory refurbished model, and for a quick minute I thought that might have been a mistake. After every page, the scanner took 20+ seconds to be ready again. I'm using Linux (Fedora), so I thought maybe it was a driver problem. Or maybe I got a dud unit. I watched the udev monitor and realized the scanner seemed to be power-cycling after each page. Odd. Turns out, it was the port on my laptop. I plugged it into a different USB port ON THE SAME LAPTOP and the scanner works great! No long delay between scanning subsequent pages. No strange udev messages. Linux folks, Brother has Linux drives on their product support website (*.deb and *.rpm). Install is simple. I used Gnome's "Document Scanner" at first as the scanning front end. You have to select "All Pages From Feeder" (not "Single Page") in order for the two-sided (duplex) functionality of the 740D to work. You MUST ALSO select "Both" from the preferences dialogue. I eventually switched to "gscan2pdf", which is more flexible in terms of scan post-processing. In the "Scan" dialogue on the "Scan Options" tab, the "Scan Source" option allows you to perform two-sided (duplex) scanning. Select the option ending with "left aligned" for single-sided and "left aligned - duplex" for two-sided.

## Features

- FAST SPEED AND DUPLEX SCANNING – Scan single and double-sided documents in a single pass at up to 16 ppm(1). Color scanning doesn’t slow you down at all as it has the same scan speed as black and white document scanning.
- ULTRA COMPACT – At less than 1 foot in length you can fit this device virtually anywhere (a bag, a purse, a pocket). The DSD (Desk Saving Design) feature reduces the amount of space needed to use the device, saving you 11 inches of desk space. (2)
- READY WHENEVER YOU ARE – The DS-740D is powered via an included micro USB 3. 0 cable allowing you to use it even where there is no outlet available. Plug it into you PC or laptop and you are ready to scan.
- WORKS YOUR WAY – Use the Brother free iPrint&Scan desktop app for scanning to multiple “Scan-to” destinations like PC, Network, cloud services, Email and OCR. (2) Supports Windows, Mac and Linux and TWAIN/WIA for PC/ICA for Mac/SANE drivers. (3)
- OPTIMIZE IMAGES AND TEXT – Automatic color detection/adjustment, image rotation (PC only), bleed through prevention/background removal, text enhancement, color drop to enhance scans. Software suite includes document management and OCR software. (4)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Calibration always fails
*by T***Y on March 6, 2026*

Scanning multiple pages is a pain. The settings aren't configured so that it is a quick 1-click option. Also calibration always fails. Tech support was no help for the second problem and the first they only kind of fixed with a software update. It does work now and I like the power pdf software that a license is free with the purchase.
