Can you use this printer as a copier? In other words, as a stand alone product not connected to a computer?

Yep, you can. Keep in mind that you can only copy one page at a time. You put the picture onto the glass, it scans it (the same as if you were scanning the picture to a computer), and it makes a photocopy off of that. You can do color or black and white.

Not as far as I can tell. We have several of these printers for industrial and accounting use, some run on a parallel cable and port others use a serial connection and card (which is quite pricey) I see no other connections. These appear to be old "workhorse" type impact printers that print on multipart forms.

Yes you can. Just plug the included cable to the machine and the other end to the computer's USB slot, click "Print" and voilá!

It can work as a decent copier as well as print, scan and fax. Simple setup and works like a charm wirelessly.

Yes, you just have to connect it diretly to your computer using the included cable. Hope this helps..BTW, I've gone through 3 printers in 3 years, all with some problems. This Brother far exceedes every one of them, and works flawlessly. No problems whatsoever.

Yes you can. It comes with a cable that connects the computer and the printer. This enables you to print without having to use it wireless.

No, you can use the printer either with the USB port or wireless. Which ever is easier for you. Jack F

I'm not sure what you mean with this question. Can you elaborate a bit? If you mean, can you make a copy of something else, then the answer is no. This is just a printer. Not a scanner, or fax or copier.

This is a stand alone unit that does not connect to the computer. What you are probably referring to is the Brother QL-500 Label Printer which is PC & MAC compatible and is operated from your computer.

I'm fairly sure you may also use it conventionally. In fact, as I remember, during the initial set up it was wired as a conventional printer.

I dont think that will work. It will serve you better to just connect the printer to one computer and setup a network for printer so that multiple computers on your network can print from it.

Yes, but extremely easy to do. Your computer or mobile device will "look" for the printer if you are in its range or you can e-mail your printer if you are out of range. Of course, you can connect the printer via wires to your computer if you wish. Works great!

sort of...you have to get onto Google CloudPrint. my chromebook's instruction manual explicitly says "do not directly hook up to a printer. it won't work." i usually print from computer hooked up to a printer and download the doc i want to print from Google Drive

I haven't tried. But my other HP printer will enable you to save documents as PDF w/o Adobe

If you had the printer drivers previously installed, I'd say Yes. If the driver isn't loaded, you'd still have to load up the driver. Worked that way on my client's machine running Win 7.

I don't think so, but i had it a while ago before Brother had made an app so that may not be the case now. Even if you can, it is an awful printer!

You can connect a desktop computer. But buy a different printer, this one sucks.
