absolutley, its a great standalone. I have it on wireless and my computer is networked to it. I do all my scanning through the computer using there software. But it is fine as a standalone. I have 3 of these printers

I'm pretty sure. Seems like copying has nothing to do with the computer. Good luck. Jim

If you have the manual follow the procedure. If not google cannon pc 170 personal copier/manual. It is not hard to do, just difficult to explain in this message. Good luck

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.

no, it is not a copier, but you can print copies to it from your computer, nor will it print from wireless devices like tablets or smart phones

It can be used with a windows computer if reformatted. But not straight out of the box.

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

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.

You will have to use a DAW to operate for sure. It's not a stand alone. I also notice other comments to this regards. Good luck, Merry Xmas!

Unfortunately you must have the disk to ve able to format each card individually with a computer

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.

No but that is fine with me. Check out OpenOffice.org. It is a free open source software that basically copies the Office software's. More basic than the real deal. Works great!

Of course. Use it as a regular copier - either color or black and white copies.

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.

You don't have to connect to the computer ....you can make copies independently.

Absolutely. That was the reason for buying it. I wanted a no-nonsense black and white copier for mybusiness needs. This is just right.

Yes, using the free QuickOffice app. There is a pro version also available.
