Hi rad83,

 

There is a recommended patch to install if you are having copying issues.  Let's perform the following steps to download and install the patch:

1.  Visit Canon's website at: http://usa.canon.com/support

2.  Type MF8280Cw in the "Enter a Model Name" box and click search.

3.  On the Support page for your unit, click the 'Drivers& Downloads' link in the middle of the page.

4.  Select "Operating System"

5.  Under the Firmware Tab click on the file named "[Windows] imageCLASS MF8280Cw Firmware Update Tool (V04.01".  After reading the details and disclaimer, click 'I Agree to terms.  Download and save the file to your computer.  Once the download is complete, double-click the file from its download location to begin the installation.

6.  Attempt to make a copy.  Does the issue continue?  If so, does the issue also occur when printing as well or only when making a copy directly from the unit?
