photocopy machine

Office paper cloner

A photocopy machine is a device that reproduces documents by projecting light onto the original and transferring the image to paper through electrostatic processes.

Also called a copier or photocopier.

The photocopy machine is jammed again.

The technology has become less central as digital scanning and sharing have replaced paper copies in many workplaces.
