I installed the Brother scanner driver from AUR: brscan4 (also brscan-skey). The scanner is recognized by sane and can scan single-sided with no problems. The xsane 0.999 window has choices for ADF left aligned, Duplex and ADF, centrally aligned, Duplex but when either of these is chosen it still scans only 1 side of the document.
Also, using brscan-skey and initiating the scan directly on the scanner's touchscreen, when duplex scan is selected it still scans only 1 side. I also edited /opt/brother/scanner/brscan-skey/scantofile.config to set source=ADF and duplex=ON but the behavior is the same -- only 1 side scanned.
Then I tried Xsane. It found the scanner. I set it to ADF Duplex, Gray, Full color range, 200 resolution, letter portrait, created a multipage project, and ran Scan. It fed the 3 sheets through the adf, then popped up an error message: "Failed to start scanner; Invalid argument". The multipage project folder contained no images. So I don't know what happened to Xsane which has never given me any problems before with other scanners. But it seems now that the problem isn't the scanner, and it isn't Sane.
Did some more testing. It's possible that I had a too-small area selected in the preview window. With that corrected, Xsane can scan a single image, whether placed on the flatbed or in the document feeder. If I put multiple pages on the document feeder, it feeds all the pages but only produces a single image of the first page. Same thing whether set to ADF or ADF Duplex.
Well, after playing with it for a few days all scanning options (flatbed, ADF and ADF Duplex) are working. Not sure what I changed. As long as all relevant settings are correct, Xsane does perform duplex scanning and multipage projects (scanning multiple pages, single-sided or duplex and saving the result in a single pdf) well.
In the process, I compared the performance of Xsane to Gnome Document Scanner (simple-scan) and to the command line scanimage. Simple-scan was well-named. Its interface is very simple and easy to configure. It does duplex and multipage scanning competently, but MUCH slower than Xsane and scanimage. I don't understand what causes it to scan so slowly -- I used the same dpi setting in both programs. So for a GUI frontend I'd choose Xsane.
But it seems that, especially for large multipage projects scanimage is the best. It's a little inconvenient to type out all the options, but once that's done it scans at about the same speed as Xsane but produces a significantly smaller pdf of the project.
For comparison, I just scanned 2 2-sided sheets at 100 dpi with Xsane producing a 1.4 MiB pdf and scanimage producing a 363 KiB file. I can't see a difference between the two documents. I then scanned the same 2 pages with scanimage at 200 dpi producing a 1 MiB pdf that's considerably sharper, with no perceptible difference in speed.
In its largest assault on the SOHO and small business printing markets, Brother has launched ten affordable mono laser and multi-function (MFP) printers. The MFC-L2750DW sits at the top of its new MFP range and boasts 4-in-1 print, scan, copy and fax functions, integral duplexing, 34ppm print speeds, connection options galore and a sub-200 price tag.
Along with USB 2, 10/100 Ethernet or 11n wireless, the MFC-L2750DW offers AirPrint and WiFi Direct plus NFC for tap-to-print mobile operations. Cloud features include built-in functions for scanning to and printing from services such as Dropbox, Google Drive, Evernote and OneDrive.
Brother's installation routine discovered the printer on our network and preconfigured the generous software bundle on our Windows 10 desktops. This includes a System Tray status monitor, TWAIN driver, ControlCenter4 (CC4) scan and print utility, Nuance's PaperPort SE 14 OCR conversion and document management software and a new Windows iPrint&Scan app.
Brother's Web Connect portal makes light work of registering the printer with selected providers; we supplied our Dropbox account details, entered the unique 11-digit code at the printer's 6.8cms colour touchscreen and PIN-protected access. After choosing the 'Web' option at the touchscreen, we could browse our Dropbox account, print files directly from it and send scans to the cloud.
Scanning to email doesn't get any easier either. Selecting the Easy Scan to Email app at the printer allowed us to register and PIN-protect multiple email addresses for sending documents to and there's no need to provide SMTP server details.
The printer has apps for sending scans directly to Word, Excel or PowerPoint formats and saving them to a cloud account or email address. The Scan to Mobile app scans a document, sends it to Brother's web site with PIN protection and displays a QR code on the touchscreen for you to scan in from your mobile and retrieve the document.
We used Brother's iPrint&Scan app on our iPad to print files and pull in scans. The new Windows app also provides these features but the iOS app goes further as it includes a firmware update tool and options to print from iCloud, Google Drive, Evernote, OneDrive and Dropbox.
Tough access security includes Brother's Secure Function Lock 3 which applies local user lists and function profiles to decide what print, scan, copy, fax and Web Connect services each one can access. LDAP and Active Directory authentication are supported, while the printer driver can be used to assign a PIN to a job so it can only be released by entering it at the printer.
The printer performed well - our 34-page Word document was swiftly despatched at both 600dpi and 1,200dpi resolutions in 60 seconds with a time to first page of around 12 seconds. The integral duplex unit halves speed, with the same document printed on both sides in 120 seconds.
Our challenging 24-page DTP document was also delivered at 34ppm at 600dpi but occasional pauses at 1,200dpi dropped overall speed down to 19ppm. The colour flatbed scanner is the duplex variety and using its 50-page ADF saw a 10-page single-side document reproduced in 34 seconds while a duplex-to-duplex copy took 93 seconds.
Print quality for text is great with super-sharp fonts right down to 6pts on both 80gsm and 100gsm paper weights. Reports with graphs and charts are equally clean but although graphics and photos are detailed, their overall impact is marred by an unpleasant banding in backgrounds.
The only consumables are the toner cartridge and 12,000-page drum unit. After exhausting the 700-page starter cartridge, we recommend using the high-yield version as this delivers a page for 2.8p although even this is at the expensive end of this market sector.
The MFC-L2750DW offers small businesses a wealth of multi-function features at a very tempting price. It's fast and easy to use, print quality for general office use is acceptable and you won't find more cloud and mobile features anywhere else.

Similar to AirPrint printers, these USB devices allow you to print or scan without having to install additional drivers. Because they require a USB connection, they support driverless printing or scanning only from Mac computers.

The Brother MFC-L2750DW is a good option if you only print black and white documents, but it isn't ideal if you plan on printing photos or color documents since it's a monochrome laser printer. Its wide connectivity options include USB, Wi-Fi, and Ethernet, making it easy for every household member to access the printer. It has a feature-rich scanner with an automatic document feeder and single-pass duplex scanning capability, and it produces amazing scans, which is great for digitizing photos. Its toner cartridge yields a large number of prints, so you won't need to replace it often, and it's relatively cheap, so your maintenance cost remains low.
