USB - yes, the setup instructions show you how to connect the cable. Scan to computer - yes ... I believe that there is a brother scan utility however I use Irfanview, my favorite (free) graphics app to pull scans from our machine.

We've never used that function but we don't recommend this printer, we constantly have problems with it, especially printing wirelessly, it always changes to use printer offline on its own and other little glitches that cause headaches right when u just need it to work right for once!, yet the scanners always been fine. Also there is no customer service, its all online which makes solving problems a big mess and the photo tray doesn't work correctly anymore and we only used it once.

yup. It has a one button copy function, you can use it as a copy machine without a computer. The sheet feeder works pretty well. I have mine for a few years under light load, no issue. It only scans one side at a time. I use Adobe Acrobat, and it allows me to scan the reverse side on a second pass via the sheet feeder.

It is simply a printer. It doesn't fax, scan or make copies. It connects to the PC with a USB cable.

No Scan but a great printer if you have to carry one around for occasional use

You don't need a cable to connect to the WiFi. The printer will scan for any WiFi signals, you just choose yours and put in your WiFi password and that's it.

It depends on the pos system you're using. For example using QuickBooks pos you can set it up without a printer as long as you have the proper connection to your register.

I scan all the time without the PC... the files are saved on a jump drive that you plug into the printer

You can scan to pc provided that u have a network enviroment and you setup the printer to work within that network. Not sure if it can scan directly to a wireless pc.

Well, I always run it without the computer connected so yes, you can scan to an SD card, then move the card into your computer if it has a card reader built in - or you can connect a USB cable to your computer to transfer the pix.

Mine is connected via wireless but if you wanted to use copier/scanner without any connections, you can.

Yes, it can print directly from a computer. Select "duplex" in the print driver screen. Flash drive connected at computer should also work fine.

Yes it works without the computer. But I have to caution you regarding buying this product. I bought two of them so far. They work for an year or so and it stops working. I have two of them and I can give them you free to you. just pay for postage.

I have mine connected to computer with USB cable............ but it can scan, copy, print without the computer on. There is an SD card slot that you can use to print from if your smart phone or tablet has MS, MS Duo, SD card (or even micro SD with adapter). Since it also can be setup wirelessly, I would assume you could print from smartphone or tablet with appropriate app.

all you need is a phone line for faxing, no computer. - if you want to use as printer and/or scan you need to connect to computer.

No. It is a stand alone printer. Brother DOES sell a printer that connects to a PC, but it is not this one.
