A) If it's not mentioned, I just keep asking: Can this ADF scan the fed sheets front and back in one go? Or, like most, first page 1, then paper back, then page 2, etc.? The time loss is more than twice as high if you scan twice - and the quality is often worse because the paper is shifted a bit when you move it back and forth. That's why this question is important to me. B) When will Brother finally make the leap and bring out a modern version of their SW. This one looks like the one on my Brother MFC, which is already 9 years old. Really no progress at all in the SW to discover - it is absolutely shameful. I'm not the HP fan I used to be - but they could do GUI! And user guidance and just setting it up. HP can do that. Brother's setup is a pain in the ass - that's what an IT expert says. The only good thing about Brother's SW: once it's up and running, you won't have to deal with it again for years ;-)

A) Yes, scans front and back at the same time in one go. B) Yes, SW looks like shit and is not user-friendly. But that's just it: When it works, it works.

Can I use the scanner to send documents directly to Google Drive, completely without a computer running?

Hello, I have been using this scanner for a long time. Scan directly to my NAS (Synology), there the document is processed with OCR and stored. I don't know of any setting that would allow it to send directly to Google Drive. The ScanSnap-1500 would be better suited for this. Greetings.

How long does it take to convert e.g. 100 files into OCR? Suppose I scan 100 documents (invoices, delivery notes) a day and then want to convert them into searchable PDFs in the evening. How long would this process take? Is it done in minutes or does it take hours? Are there any scanners that can automatically scan to OCR?

So the pdf's I create with the scanner are automatically OCR scanned - meaning I can search for text in the documents. I am running on macOS. The scanning software is clearly designed and allows me to save so-called workflows. This makes it very efficient. I would estimate that the 100 pages are completely processed in 5-10 minutes, including OCR.

Does this have archiving software and cloud scanning?

It can scan to the cloud or local network. The software delivered is standard type for scanning not a special archive software. Documents scan fast and efficient. For an alphabetical search programs like Acrobat are needed, not the reader, the full version or an other cheaper program.

Can I scan a document with a staple or could the scanner be damaged? I have to staple 2 pages together from time to time using a thin staple. I would then have to scan the first page. Can I do this without any problems or could the scanner be damaged in the process? With a lay-on scanner like the ones in many multi-printers, this is no problem, but with the Brother 2700, the sheet is pulled through rollers, correct? What do you think?

Hello fish scale You can't do that with this document scanner with paper feed-through! And yes it is harmful to the machine. (A) it causes paper jams as the machine will try to separate the two papers, and (B) the metal staple scratches the glass of the CIS unit and the "pressure plate" on the CIS glass. The only solution is to separate the papers before scanning or to use another device with a flatbed scanner, e.g. PDS-5000F, PDS-6000F (or MFC or DCP printer as described by you). Greetings

Can an OCR scan be carried out with this scanner without additional software but directly at the touch of a button and saved on a NAS? Or is OCR scanning only possible with client software?

If I am not mistaken, the scanner itself cannot OCR. Probably no one in this price range can do that either. But you can certainly set up a button that sends the scan to a running PC and starts a job there that carries out the OCR recognition and sends it to a corresponding memory.
