duplicator
Makes identical copies
A duplicator is a machine that makes copies—originally of documents, but also of other materials.
Before photocopiers became standard, offices used mimeograph machines and spirit duplicators to reproduce typed or handwritten pages.
The term now extends to any device that creates replicas: a key duplicator, a disc duplicator.
