Does thie machine have the ability to act as a scanner for a PC? It doesn't look like it. I don't see a Scan button on top.

No it does not have scanner. I just checked it; but it is a great machine for faxing. That is the sole purpose in our office. I hope it helps.

You can't (unless the things you want to scan all fit on the scanner at once). HP might have a document loadder that you could buy as an add on.

I have never used the scan feature on my printer, so I cannot answer you Question

yes, it is a decent scanner, USB supported in most applications. You application must have the ability to use the scanned data, basically it is like a keyboard wedge, anything you would normally input via kbd can be scanned.

You have to have the scanner connected to a computer in order for it to work. The software to operate the scanner is loaded on the computer. The disk for the software comes with the scanner. There is a cord with the scanner to connect it to a USB port on your computer.

I have that software on my computer so when I scan and import it works. Are you wanting to use the printer as a stand alone unit that would scan something, process by ocr, and print it out without going through a computer? I don't think it would do that.....

No - if you haven't bought it don't! I bought one several years ago - it worked for about a month. It was glitchy and cumbersome to use. Brother, who makesthe scanner had little/no support.

Depends on how you arrange you keyboard/monitor. If it was for myself, I would say no. The side where the PC tower goes, as well as the slot above it is not big enough for a printer scanner.

There are 2 ways.Use the software that came with the printer.Just press the scan button on the printer.

Yes, it does have a scanning feature. I have not used it, but you can scan photos and documents. All you have to do is follow the directions and set the parameters you want.

It is simply a printer. It doesn't fax, scan or make copies. It connects to the PC with a USB cable.

My computer is a PC, but the scanner comes with drivers included in a cd. Also you can get the latest PC and MAC drivers from the Brother website. My recomendation is to verify, using the model number, directly on the Brother Website.

Not that I know about, but if you have a Mac you can use "image capture" to scan. It comes with the OS. Maybe Windows has something similar.

I'm sorry I don't know enough about computers to answer your question. However we are very satisfied with the scanner.

This particular scanner does not have that kind of ability. The only one that we can think of that does is the VuPoint Magic Wand Portable Scanner with Auto-Feed Dock (prod # PDS-ST450-VP).

This printer can be used as a scanner but you need to buy a usb to save it on. And it does come with software , I preferred to download it
