With this be a good lighting system to uses on a copystand to digitize old photos / drawing / paintings?
The Olympus STF-8 Twin Flash is really for macro shots—to be used with a macro lens. If you use this on a copy stand to photograph flat art, you'd need to position the lights further away. Otherwise, you would get glare on the photos.

Flash will not fire on the OM D I mark II. Is there a setting buried in the menus that has to be changed?
Do you have batteries installed correctly? Does the unit turn on? When you press the ON/OFF button on the controller, the green light should turn on and the orange Charge light should also turn on if the flash is charged. Also, make sure that the RC Mode in the camera menu (Shooting Menu 2) is OFF.

New to flash here. What is the maximum possible camera to subject distance for adequate illumination?
Twin flashes are not made for covering great distances. They are mainly made for macro photography, extreme close ups of things such as flowers, bugs, and bugs on flowers. As a rough estimate the Olympus STF-8 Twin flash should be fine in a range up to 8-10 feet at the most. If you are looking for more in a distance range up to 40-50 feet, the Olympus FL-900R would be a better option. Please take a look at the following link:
