          First you have to know does your copier have print option.

          If your copier have print option then you have to know does it have network card or just USB port or even if it is older maybe LPT port.

          Then you will know which cable you need.

          If you want to use USB port from your PC you can only use USB cable.
          As I know there is no any special name for that cable

            Yes My Copier have print option.
            It has LPT port

            Now it is clear that I have USB port on my PC or laptop and LPT port on copier machine.

            Thanks

              Most Copiers Have A Usb Port As Well. If Your Copier Model Has One, A Standard Usb Cable Will Work.

                1. Use a USB to Centronics
                2. If your laptop also has a parallel - just use a standard printer cable
                3. I am use to seeing the network/printer option as one install - if so, you could also connect it to your network.

                The above ASS-U-MEs you do have the printer option installed and not just saying it is because there is a port.

                Once you have a cable, all you need to do is download the print driver you need (url imagerunner.com)
