If the Federal reserve wants to create dollars it buys bonds from the public in the nations bond market. After the purchase the money spent is in the fists of the public. So basically the purchase of bonds by the Fed creates money, thus increasing the money supply. If the Fed sells government bonds the money then is out of the hands of the public thus decreasing the money supply.
Reserves are unaffected because managing the minimum reserve for banks is a different tool that the Federal Reserve and the Federal Open Market Committee use to help manipulate the money supply and the value of that supply of money. It is called fractional reserve banking.
For more information I would recommend checking out the FOMC website, Central Bank website, and Federal reserve website.
