photocopied
Xeroxed at work
Photocopied is the past tense of photocopy, meaning to reproduce a document or image using a machine that scans and prints copies.
The term dates from when photocopiers were ubiquitous office equipment, though digital scanning has largely supplanted the technology.
Something photocopied may suggest a quick, low-quality reproduction: The flyer looked like it had been photocopied a dozen times.
Figuratively, photocopied can describe anything that feels like a bland duplicate of something else.
