Can this be used as a stand alone copier without having to be connected to a computer?

Yes. I'm a classroom teacher and I bought it for that purpose. I think it does a good job for the money.

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

As far as I'm aware this is just a piece of hardware and would definitely need to be connected to a computer to perform any scanning/saving functions.

Yes it is a stand -alone unit. The software is for labeling, ripping, editing, etc. the copies you are making

Not by itself. You would need a wireless print server, which can be found at Amazon.

Just tried this - you do not have to connect it to a computer to only make copies. However, seems like it might be a waste to use this machine for only one function - it's nice to have the scanner and printer capabilities.

This great little scanner uses a USB connection to a computer. It has no internal memory, so you can't use it as a stand-alone item. It depends on computer drivers to work.

My guess is no as the printer is not wireless and uses a USB cable for connection to the computer.

Yes it doesn't need the computer to work. I was able to turn on the device and print labels without ever connecting it to the computer.

For the data portion this printer can use a USB cable and be connected directly to a computer. You still however need to use the enclosed power adapter to power the unit.

It cannot be used as a stand alone, it has to be connected using USB. Also, it doesn't convert negatives...only photos. Please note, there are no drivers available for Windows 7 or 8, the last OS supported is Windows XP.

Yes! Absolutely! Network capable too, so you don't have to be in the room with it while scanning, printing, etc.

No computer needed. This only works alone there is no way to store images or hook it up to the computer.

I have not done it myself, however, I would think you can as long as you have the usb connection. I love this printer. It does a lots of things that other printers don't do as well as the quality is great.

I can't find any instructions in the manual and no indications of any wireless capability. We have a tax practice and have decided to go paperless with our supporting documentation. This unit is working fine with minimal setup and minimal jamming with source documentation that borders on heavy (social security statements) to light (yellow legal pages). Although the software is loaded onto just one of our computers, the scanned images are saved to a network hard drive accessible to all of the computers on the network. I haven tried networking the scan function into any more units

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.

I have mine hooked up to a router so i dont use the wireless part. I am 99% sure you can use it as a stand alone wireless printer

Yes it can be used without being connected to a computer. You can put a list into the computer of what number each disc is and then just manually enter that number into the on board keypad
