To cheap to supply cord for 300 scanner?? Really!
Seriously a 300 scanner and no power code????
Try to find one that will work - and it won't poer one.
Brother is extremely disappointing. Will not continue to support their brand.

ridiculous
How can a company sell a product but not include a power chord? Apparently according to the small print chord only supplied in certain countries. The problem for me is my system is not compatible with the newer USB ports so I could not connect it to my computer to charge it. The battery was dead so it would not turn on at all so I could not do anything. I looked to p...

Great scanner... doesnt come with the AC adapter
This is cool scanner. Double sided scanning to a network share is very fast. It has some customizable features from the Web UI. But it doesnt include an AC adapter. Even if you want to run it off a USB C battery and keep it totally mobile, this is not a cheap scanner and can include the option.

Scanner
First of all the sales person never told me that I needed to buy the adapter to plug it into the wall. Never found that out until I was home which was over a hour away. Says it is wireless but how can it be if you need to be plugged into the computer for the power source. Also not good instruction to get it going but was able to figure it out. I am usually good at ...

Response from Staples :
Hi Sharlene Why it still needs to be plugged in (sometimes): The Brother ADS-1800W can scan wirelessly using Wi-Fi and the Brother Mobile Connect App so you don’t have to plug it into a computer to use it. However it’s powered via USB-C meaning it draws its electrical power from your computer or a USB-C power adapter. It doesn’t have a built-in battery or separate power cord. If your computer doesn’t support USB-C or can’t supply enough power you’ll need a compatible USB-C power adapter to use it wirelessly. ^MS

Better than anticipated.
The scanner was very easy to set up. I was able to use after the quick set up. I am currently using the scanner via the USB so that it is available off-line currently. However I am looking forward to using the wireless features available with this scanner. After comparing many scanners I am glad I made the decision to buy this one and would highly recommend. I am a s...

NO POWER SUPPLY
Do NOT buy this scanner! The power supply is NOT included. It only comes with a dual C-charger cable when plugged in to a computer or a wall charger it reads "Insufficient power Code 1". I tried using a power supply I already had and the unit won't power on at all. Total piece of junk. I never return things but I'm returning this.

High quality wifi scanner for documents, photos and more!
Once I figured out how to connect it with my wifi, it was so easy to use!! Loved that I could connect directly to my Google Drive or use the USB cord to connect to my device. It is very easy to use with the color touchscreen, can scan 2 sided documents IN COLOR and do MULTIPLE pages at one time!! Highly recommend!

Read contents of box to make sure you have what you need
The scanner is a very nice size. Perfect for just putting anywhere you need it very compact. Scanning quality is as expected. The wireless connectivity was all right. You had to use a USB-C to connect it or it wouldn’t have it come with the power cord.
