Hi Ralph, thanks for the followup

Platform: MacOS 11.3.1 Intel Core i9 
SANE: scanimage (sane-backends) 1.0.32; backend version 1.0.32

Understood.
I read somewhere that adding the LAN IP of the scanner to file `net.conf` ( /usr/local/etc/sane.d/net.conf ) makes it possible to add WiFi functionality.
For now USB is fine.
