I think that it depends upon the driver software that is bundled with
the device. I have a Brother MFD that claims to be able to scan over
wifi. I haven't bothered to check this as I don't see the point: You
need to be sitting at the scanner if you want to scan a set documents so
I only use the USB connection.
