Does the USB cable use standard or proprietary connectors?

There's a standard USB socket on the tail end of the scanner. You can fit your own cables to this socket. None are provided with the scanner.

Standard on one end and Mini USB on the Tool end. My Box had a cable for this

I think any USB cord should work. I can't remember that it's a special size.

It uses a standard USB cable, so yes, any readily available one should work.

No, it is a proprietary cable. I have not seen this type of cable on any other piece of electronic equipment I own.

You just use a standard USB connection. I honestly don't know the specifics, but I'm going to put these in my hallways and I'm putting an outlet with hi power usb outlets on it

The usb cable it comes with has 2 different ends to connect to your computer. I am guessing one is 3.0 but I don't know the difference to look at them.

There are actually 4 "standard" USB connectors. Look it up in Wikipedia...This uses the 2nd most common std USB connector at one end and the "regular" one at the other end. Also, this is USB 3.0 so your cable should be specified to the suppert the much higher speed transfers. Good luck.

Despite what others say, the connector is standard USB ON BOTH ENDS. On the PC end, it is the standard type-A and on the printer end, type-B. I promise.

This uses a standard USB port. Perhaps you need to obtain an adpater for that purpose.

It comes with two different cables. Each cable has their own proprietary connection on one end, then the other end is either a standard USB that connects to the computer, or the older 30 pin connector for older iOS devices.

Yes, actually that's the way I'm using it. I don't recall if it came with the right USB cable or I used my own.

If your printer connects with your computer via USB cable, then yes, these cables are standard.

USB and proprietary is a contradiction in terms. Canons generally use mini-USB, possibly micro-USB, but they use a USB standard.

This cable does not meet USB 3 specifications. You will need a different cable altogether if your device requires USB 3.

Mr Pearlman, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_3.0#Connectors that connector on the back you're pointing at is a USB 3.0 Micro B connector. While it's new tech and not backward compatible with USB 2.0, it is a standard compliant USB cable produced by many manufacturers. It's not correct to call it proprietary.

Sure, any usb cable should work. The ones that come with it are pretty good though.
