This "pesky" problem is NOT explained in the manual. However, the problem seems to be occurring if you have inadvertently switched to the "borderless" setting in your print setup. If you switch it back to the "with border" setting, the problem goes away and you can copy at will.
Don't ask me how long it took me to figure this out -- LOL
