Choose the Email Address option when doing this.
Save the changes that you have made and then exit your WF-3540’s web-based configuration page. Once you have successfully gone through both Phase 1 and Phase 2, you should be able to scan documents to any of the email addresses that you have added to your printer’s Destination List.

Press the B&W or Color button, depending on whether you want to scan to be colored or black & white, to begin the scan.
