Why is the copier giving me huge paper?
On the main copying screen, there are four big buttons. The second button from the left controls paper size. If it says auto-sensing or something like that on this button, it will automatically choose paper size that matches the size of the object you scan. You can click on this button and change the size to 8.5 x 11. Then, it will just scan whatever is on the left half of the glass. If you want huge paper that's doable too.
Why can't I enter my password?
Hit the button that says Username, not the text box.
