"Of the three formats -- 360K, 720K, and 1.2M --

they have either 320K or 400K; this is like 360K, but with 8 or 10
sectors/track instead of 9.

"They can't get the copy disk option on the menu

"Or is there some other magic that needs to be done?

this is for copying one floppy to another.  is this really what you
want?
