Description

Brother DS-940DW Duplex Wireless Mobile Document Scanner

Overview

The DS-940DW is Brother's wireless-capable mobile sheetfed scanner designed for professionals who need duplex scanning away from a fixed workstation. It scans both sides of a document in a single pass and connects via Wi-Fi (802.11b/g/n) or USB 3.0 — eliminating the need for a dedicated scan station on a desk. The built-in rechargeable Li-ion battery delivers up to 200 sheets per charge with Wi-Fi active (320 sheets with Wi-Fi off), making it a practical fit for field audits, mobile document intake, and shared-workspace deployments where running to a central scanner wastes time. At 1.54 lbs, it travels in a laptop bag without adding meaningful load.

Compatibility

The DS-940DW accepts single-sided originals up to 72 × 8.5 in. (receipts, long documents) and duplex originals up to 16 × 8.5 in. Minimum document size is 3.4 × 2.0 in., covering business cards and small receipts. Accepted media types include plain paper, photos, embossed cards, business cards, and receipts. The microSD card slot (SDHC, 2GB–32GB) enables scan-to-card workflows without a host PC — useful for intake staff who batch-collect documents for later upload. Wi-Fi Direct (802.11g) allows direct connection to a mobile device without a network access point. Wireless security supports WPA2-PSK (AES), WEP 64/128-bit, and WPA-PSK; network traffic can be encrypted via SSL/TLS (HTTPS). For application integration, confirm compatibility with Brother's iPrint&Scan or your organization's TWAIN/WIA document management workflow before deploying at scale.

Installation Notes

The Li-ion battery reaches full charge in approximately 2.6 hours via USB. Continuous standby time before auto-power-down is 10 minutes — factor this into high-volume batch workflows where the scanner sits idle between document sets. Operating temperature is limited to 41°F–95°F (5°C–35°C); battery charging halts if this range is exceeded. Optical resolution tops out at 600 × 600 dpi (interpolated to 1200 × 1200 dpi) with 24-bit color output and 256 grayscale levels — sufficient for document archiving and OCR, but not production-quality photo reproduction.
