photocopies

Xeroxed document copies

Photocopies are duplicates of documents made by a photocopier, which uses light and heat to transfer an image onto paper.

The word works as both noun and verb: She made photocopies of the contract, He photocopies everything before sending it out.

Despite digital alternatives, photocopying remains common for legal documents and quick reproductions.
