Is USB cable necessary?

No I use WiFi, the only cords you need is the power cord and a telephone cord that comes with printer if you are going to use the fax.

If you have WiFi, you won't need the USB cable. If you do not have WiFi, you can use an Ethernet cable to print, but you would need the USB cable in order to scan documents to your computer. It's always good to have as a backup in case your WiFi is down.

Yes, this unit includes a short USB cable to connect to your computer. This cable is also the power source for the drive. If you need a longer cable, get a new one rather than using a USB extension cable. If you're connecting to a USB hub, make sure the hub is powered (has its own power supply).

Yes you would use a usb cable for the initial setup and after that all you would need is the power cable.

I'm donating it so it's packed away right now. I seem to recall a cable that had a standard A connector on it. Whatever it was, it didn't meet my needs, and I bought a 2 port front panel USB 3 unit.

Yes, USB cord is needed. Should have come with one. Plug camera to Computer, then turn on camera. computer should pick it up, and ask you if you want to transfer pictures.

no additional cable is needed, simply connect to the port on your computer(cpu) and turn 1 USB port into 4, hope this helps.

It's been a long time. I think a cable came with my drive. I don't see why you could not use any USB cable. I switch them all the time.

Depends on what devise you have plugged in. A usb stick should work without the power cable, external drives would not.

It does not come with a USB cable. I used an existing cable since I had plenty lying around.

No it is not required. It is only required if you want to power any devices threw your USB ports on this card. Typical flash drives do not require port, but you may need power for some external disk drives that you don't wish to unitize their own external power adapters.

To the best of my knowledge, yes, you need a computer. The only thing I see that it will display directly off a USB drive is pictures. And frankly, the way it displays pictures in that mode is not very useful.

You won't need a usb cord if your laptop has a sd card reader. If not then you will need the usb cord.

I agree with Terry. However it does NOT come with a USB cord. You will need that to hook up to the computer. See answer from Zimu Li good luck. Bob

&gt; USB provides power and digital quality audio-- no other cables are necessary. This means that it only uses USB cables. So you have to find something to extend USB cables. You could use a USB hub or there are USB extension cables.

Hi, Sure, it comes with a cable that plugs directly into your device output. No USB.

the drive requires the usb cable only! power is provided by your computer through that cable.

You need the normal usb cable that all the usb printers use. Go to a shop and ask for this, as it is not included in the package. (I use the previews cable that came with my older usb printer).
