photocopiers

Office duplication machines

Photocopiers are machines that produce paper copies of documents and images, typically using light and electrostatic charges to transfer toner onto paper.

Once essential office equipment, photocopiers have largely been replaced by multifunction printers that also scan, fax, and connect to networks.

The verb form is photocopy: I need to photocopy these contracts before the meeting.

A photocopy is the resulting duplicate document.
