The Brother DSmobile 620 and DSmobile 720D are portable document scanners designed for efficient document management. These devices allow users to digitize various types of documents, from standard papers to business cards and receipts, making them suitable for both personal and professional use. The DSmobile 720D model offers additional duplex scanning capabilities, allowing it to scan both sides of a document simultaneously, which enhances productivity for users dealing with two-sided originals.
The primary function of these devices is to convert physical documents into digital files. This process involves feeding a document into the scanner's feeder slot, where it is then scanned and processed by the accompanying software. The DSmobile 620 and DSmobile 720D are designed to be compact and lightweight, making them easy to transport and use in various locations, whether at home, in the office, or on the go. They connect to a computer via a Micro USB cable, which also typically provides power to the device, eliminating the need for a separate power adapter in many cases.
The scanners come bundled with a suite of software applications that extend their functionality beyond basic scanning. For Windows users, this includes DSmobileCapture, a dedicated scanning application that facilitates the scanning process and allows for basic image adjustments. Additional applications like Button Manager V2 help with document browsing and storage, while PaperPort™ 12SE offers comprehensive document scanning, editing, and management features. For business professionals, Presto! BizCard 6 is included for scanning, editing, and managing business cards, and BR-Receipts is available for receipt scanning and management. Macintosh users also receive DSmobileCapture, along with Presto! PageManager 9 for document management and Presto! BizCard 6 for business card handling. BR-Receipts is also available for Macintosh users. These software packages ensure that users can not only scan documents but also organize, edit, and utilize the digitized information effectively.
Operating the DSmobile 620 and DSmobile 720D is designed to be straightforward. Before initial use, users must install the scanner drivers and accompanying software from the provided DVD-ROM or by downloading them from the Brother Solutions Center website. It is crucial to ensure the computer is turned on and the user is logged in with Administrator rights during installation. The USB cable should not be connected until the software installation is complete.
Once the software is installed, scanning a document is a simple process. Users insert the document face up into the feeder slot, aligning it with the left edge and adjusting the document guide to touch the right side. For the DSmobile 720D, when performing duplex scanning, the first page should also be inserted face up. After inserting the document, users can initiate a scan by double-clicking the DSmobileCapture shortcut on their desktop and clicking the "Scan" button, or by pressing the physical Start button on the scanner itself.
The included Carrier Sheet is a valuable accessory that allows users to scan delicate or irregularly shaped documents, photos, or multiple small items that might otherwise be difficult to feed directly into the scanner. The Calibration Sheet is used to maintain optimal scan quality by calibrating the scanner's sensors, ensuring accurate color reproduction and image clarity over time. The Soft Carrying Bag provides protection for the scanner during transport, making it an ideal companion for mobile professionals.
The software suite offers various options for customizing scan settings, such as resolution, color mode (color, grayscale, or black and white), and file format (e.g., PDF, JPEG, TIFF). This flexibility allows users to tailor the output to their specific needs, whether for archival purposes, sharing, or integration with other applications. The integration with document management software like PaperPort™ 12SE and Presto! PageManager 9 means that scanned documents can be easily organized, searched, and retrieved, enhancing overall productivity. The specialized applications for business cards and receipts further streamline the process of digitizing and managing these specific types of documents, often including features for data extraction and integration with contact management or accounting software.
Proper maintenance is essential to ensure the longevity and optimal performance of the DSmobile 620 and DSmobile 720D scanners. The Quick Setup Guide emphasizes several key maintenance practices and safety precautions.
One important aspect of maintenance is regular cleaning. The provided Cleaning Cloth should be used to gently wipe the unit. It is crucial to avoid using organic solvents such as paint thinner, benzene, or alcohol, as these can damage the scanner's finish or internal components. If the unit becomes dirty, a soft, dry cloth is recommended for cleaning. This helps prevent dust and debris from accumulating on the scanner's glass or rollers, which could affect scan quality.
The Calibration Sheet plays a vital role in maintaining scan accuracy. Over time, scanner sensors can drift, leading to color inaccuracies or image distortions. Periodically using the Calibration Sheet as instructed by the software helps recalibrate the scanner, ensuring that it continues to produce high-quality scans with accurate colors and sharp details.
Safety precautions are also highlighted to prevent damage to the device and ensure user safety. Users are advised not to disassemble or modify the unit, as this could lead to fire, electric shock, or device failure. In case of malfunction or damage, users should contact the store where the unit was purchased for inspection and repair. It is also important to avoid using the device in abnormal conditions, such as when smoke, strange smells, or unusual noises are detected. In such cases, the USB cable should be immediately removed, and professional assistance sought.
Environmental considerations are also mentioned. The scanner should not be exposed to direct sunlight, extreme temperatures (very high or low), or excessive humidity and dust, as these conditions can negatively impact its performance and lifespan. If the device is used in locations with extreme temperature changes, condensation may occur, which can cause device failure. In such situations, the scanner should be allowed to dry naturally before use.
Furthermore, users are cautioned against spilling liquids like coffee, juice, or water on the device and should avoid using it in places where water might splash. In the event of a liquid spill, the USB cable should be removed immediately, and the device should be inspected by a professional. The guide also stresses the importance of using only the supplied USB cable to ensure proper functionality and prevent potential damage.
Finally, proper handling of documents is encouraged. Users should be cautious when handling paper, as its edges can cause cuts. Plastic bags bundled with the product should be kept out of reach of children or disposed of properly to avoid suffocation hazards. By adhering to these maintenance and safety guidelines, users can ensure the reliable and safe operation of their DSmobile 620 or DSmobile 720D scanner for an extended period.
