Question: Can this scan documents wireless to an email? We do not want to use the USB cable for scanning.
Document: Fastest scanning is to the USB drive plugged into the scanner or to a computer attached via USB cable. The USB card has to be formatted as MSDOS-FAT, it does not accept NTFS or Mac OS journaled formatted USB drives.Easiest & fastest way to use this scanner is to scan to the attached USB drive and then plug the drive into a computer USB port and rename the files and do whatever you want - upload to Google Drive, or transfer to network drive for longterm storage etc.
This scanner is easy to use and it is fast to scan documents, receipts or any other item I want scanned.
Wireless is great if you're NOT scanning lots of pages to one document (such as an entire book). This is because you can only feed so many pages through at a time (the description says 20 page max but I have definitely been able to scan more pages at a time than this). But when connected via USB and using the associated software, you can do a continuous scan so that all of the separate scans will be automatically combined into one document.
Just put in the ip address (e.g. 192.168.1.15) on your browser and it will take you to the settings page.Once setup, the scanned documents can be sent to various destinations: directly to a computer attached through USB cable, to a USB drive attached to the scanner, another computer on the network, a network drive (NAS), emailed directly from the scanner, or sent to various cloud-based services like SkyDrive, Dropbox, Evernote etc.
I tested a sent-to-email feature once, but it was not easy to setup a POP3/SMTP server as an outgoing mail server, so I do not use it now.Now I have a very slick, nice-looking, tiny scanner sits on a kitchen table and my wife and I scan any document we receive with a single click. Since the Brother ADS1500W supports a two-sided scanning, it scans both sides in one pass and is smart enough to skip the blank page.
Granted, there is a lag between when it gets through scanning and going into your computer on higher rates and I'm not patient dealing with bills on my days off. A little annoying perhaps, but also expected. The resolution of the final product is pretty nice too; I can't imagine someone running something they want a high-quality scan of through a feed of this nature. Features are easy to use; you can crop and adjust with ease that was kind of surprising.
Great scanner for the price! Scans documents clearly and scans double sided documents. I have not tried using the scanning software that came with it, I typically use Adobe to scan documents which works great as it normally recognizes text and makes it searchable after scanning your document.
Once you fight your way through the setup - which is especially bad for a no-Java allowed household and poorly documented - it works great. Use the web interface to setup emails and shortcuts. Do not bother with scanning jobs going through their servers. Bad idea from privacy perspective and unnecessary complication with little benefit. Once email is set up (Gmail in our case), it is great and we never needed anything else.
I wanted a scanner that I could put anywhere in the home and scan anything straight to a NAS or email to someone and this baby does it. It IS a bit smaller than regular sized scanners, but it does't perform any less. Fast and easy to use.

Answer: Yes it can.  You don't have to scan to your computer first.  It can go directly to an email.  You have to input settings for your email server, but once you do that it can email scanned files through your email server.
