If it just a copy mode of the machine why would you need to issue the command from your PC to simply copy something? If what you mean is to scan something into your PC that is different.
I may not have explained myself well enough.
It's a scanner, and only a scanner. There's a button labelled "Copy" on the front of it. I don't know what it's for, but I asume that it can be set up (on Windows) to copy the paper being scanned by outputting it to the printer.
There's another button called "email" that would serve another purpose.

The buttons usally are "automatic" when installing a windows driver/software package from the manufactorer of the scanner. Copy USALLY just scans the page into whetever software that is suplied. Email uses Outlook/Outlook Express to make a email with the scanned page as an attachment. Try snooping the USB (if it is a USB scanner) and see what is sent as you press the buttons. There are softwares and scripts that can use the "input" to execute a command/program for Linux (Even though i havent found or used any)
