Brother ADS-1250W Wireless Document Scanner USB Cable

The Brother ADS-1250W is a wireless document scanner that can also be connected via USB. It offers flexibility in how you can connect and use the scanner.

To connect the Brother ADS-1250W scanner using a USB cable, follow these steps:

Check Your Package: Ensure that your scanner package includes a USB cable. Typically, scanners come with the necessary USB cable, but it's a good idea to double-check.
Power Off: Before connecting the USB cable, make sure the scanner is powered off.
Locate USB Port: Find the USB port on the scanner. It's usually located on the back or side of the scanner. The USB port is a rectangular slot where you'll plug in the cable.
Plug in the USB Cable: Take one end of the USB cable and insert it into the USB port on the scanner.
Connect to Computer: Take the other end of the USB cable and plug it into an available USB port on your computer. Make sure it's securely connected.
Power On: After connecting the USB cable, power on the scanner.

Install Drivers (if necessary): Depending on your operating system, you might need to install drivers for the scanner. If your computer doesn't automatically recognize the scanner, you can usually find the necessary drivers on the Brother website. Download and install them following the instructions provided.

Configure Settings: Once the scanner is recognized by your computer, you may need to configure scanner settings, such as the scan resolution, scan destination (e.g., folder or email), and other preferences. You can usually do this through the scanner software or control panel on your computer.

Test the Scanner: To ensure that the scanner is working correctly, perform a test scan. Place a document in the scanner, initiate a scan from your computer, and check that the scanned document appears as expected.

Wireless vs. USB: Keep in mind that the Brother ADS-1250W is a wireless scanner as well. If you prefer wireless scanning, you can set up a Wi-Fi connection in addition to or instead of the USB connection. Refer to the scanner's manual or the Brother website for instructions on setting up the wireless connection.

By following these steps, you should be able to connect your Brother ADS-1250W scanner to your computer using a USB cable.
