Xerocopy

Xerocopy is used as a noun in English and refers to a photocopy made with xerography (the dry copying process that uses toner and an electrostatically charged drum).

Meaning:

A xerocopy is a printed copy produced by xerographic technology, typically used to reproduce documents such as text, diagrams, or images.

Definition:

In xerography, an image is transferred onto a charged surface (commonly a drum). Toner particles are attracted to the charged areas and then fused onto paper using heat or pressure. As a result, a xerocopy reproduces the original content quickly and with clear detail.

If you’re curious about the underlying technology, see xerography.
