How to Use a Photocopier

1. Turn on the Photocopier

The first step you will take in using the photocopier is making sure it is powered on a plugged up.
First, check for plugs, and make sure that the copier’s cord is plugged into a nearby outlet. Next, look
for the power button. Most copiers have the power button on top, but you may find the switch on the
side. If you find that the unit is already on but is not responding, then it may be in “sleep” mode. In
that case, you can press the “copy” button to see if it responds to that.
Before moving to the next step, you will want to make sure that the copier has paper in it. The
paper tray will be located either on the front or the side of the device. Fill the tray with paper if you
notice that it is empty or the level is low.

2. Put Your Document on the Copier

The next step is placing your document on the copier. You will lift the photocopier’s cover and
place your document on the glass surface. You will want the front of the document facing downward
on the glass. You will also want to place the document the way the guide marks tell you. You will see
the guide marks once you lift the cover. After you have properly placed your document, you can
close the copier cover.

3. Select the Number of Copies

You will need to select the number of copies that you want the copier to make. The unit will
have a digital number display and a set of plus and minus keys so that you can change the quantity.
Some models have numeric keys for this same function.

copies. The unit will have a dedicated button for this selection. Press the button to make your
changes.

5. Select Paper Size

After you select the color preference, you will want to select the correct paper size. 8.5 x 11
inches is the standard paper size. If you need to use a special paper size, then you will have to feed
the paper into the tray.
