xerox copy

Machine-made reproduction

A xerox copy is a photocopy—a duplicate made on a copying machine.

The term comes from Xerox, the company that pioneered photocopying technology, though xerox copy now applies to copies made on any machine: Make me a xerox copy of this report.

The phrase is somewhat dated, as photocopy or just copy have become more common.
