Yes that function (COPY) will work without a computer the suggestion would be just to get a cheapie all in one, saw some Hp units at Office depot on sale (a few weeks ago) for 79.00, that would work.
My wife's grandfather wants a photocopier (no one knows why exactly, he's 87). The family has done some shopping for one and it turns out that a straight up copier can be large in size and on the expensive side. But I was thinking that an alternative would be to get an all-in-one printer, the caveat being that he wouldn't hook it up to the computer (he wants nothing to do with a computer). So the question is, is it possible to use the copier function on an AIO device without having it connected to a computer?
Thanks in advance
