I cannot get the printer to copy anything, it just goes into the align mode. It will print things from my computer.

Hello,

Start up your multi-function printer and computer. Wait until it has powered on completely before beginning.

Open the printer's lid and place your item on the copying surface with the side you want copied face-down on the glass. Double-check the alignment.

Shut the printer's lid. For large items, such as books, you may want to remove the printer lid rather than forcing it closed.

Choose the kind of copy you want: black-and-white or color. You also may have to select the kind of paper that you are copying.

Size the copy to the page if desired. Some multi-function printers allow you to expand or shrink the original to fit different sizes of paper.

.Enter the number of copies you want. You may do this on the multi-function printer or in the print setup of your computer. Make sure the paper tray has enough paper to finish your copying job.

Press the "Start" button. Other names for this might be the "Copy" or "Print" button.
Remove the pages as they are delivered from the printer's feeding mechanism.

Do not tug on the copies as they come out. Let them fall into your hands.

Take care.
