QuestionI need a mobile scanner to take with me to do nursing assessments that can connect to the hotspot on my phone to send the finished assessment documents in to the company. Does this scanner have that capability?
Asked 3 years ago by artnurse.
- Answer Brother does recommend using a mobile hotspot connectivity, as this type of connection tends to not be stable and we cannot guarantee compatibility with certain mobile hotspots. We recommend instead using the Wireless Direct included with the Brother DS-940DW scanner. Wireless Direct allows you to connect the scanner to your mobile device directly without a Wi-Fi access point/router

QuestionCan I scan and email a one-page document from my MacBook Pro using the DS-940DW scanner?
Asked 2 years ago by SSI2.
- Answer Yes, I do that. I can do it wired, or wireless. 1-Open Brother software on your Mac. 2-It connects. 3-Scan first page and the software asks if you want to add a page, click that. Then once all the pages are scanned in, save to desired location. I put it in "Temporary" file I made on my Mac. then I open that document in preview, or drag into mail.
