photocopy
Office machine reproduction
A photocopy is a duplicate of a document made by a machine that photographs and reproduces the original.
To photocopy is to make such a copy: I need to photocopy my passport.
The word emerged with xerographic technology in the mid-20th century and remains standard despite digital alternatives.
A photocopier is the machine that makes them.
