xerox machine

Office paper cloner

A xerox machine is a photocopier—a device that reproduces documents by scanning and printing copies.

Xerox was the pioneering brand, and the trademark became so dominant that xerox machine persists as a generic term even when the equipment is made by other manufacturers: The xerox machine is out of toner again.
