Hi Barry,
It is useful if you need to scan things, and do work on them when the 
kids are asleep and the printer/scanner is in the living room.
I have used it on a few occasions.
It is also nice not to have to plug a cord in, you just turn on the 
printer, then scan.
There are 'few' times it is needed, mostly it is nice to not need to 
plug in a cord just to scan.
