Turn on the photocopier. Pressing the “Copy” button on the control panel will usually cause the copier to “wake up.”
Step 2
At the edges of the glass you'll see guide marks that indicate where to position your document. Once the document is in place, lower the cover. If the photocopier has a document feeder instead of a cover over the platen, do not lift the document feeder off the platen.
Step 3
Select the number of copies to be made. The photocopier may have a number key pad for selecting the number of copies, or it may have arrows, or a plus and minus sign, for changing the number incrementally.
Step 4
Select the copier's Color button or Black and White button if the photocopier is a color copier.
