copier
In modern professional and domestic settings, this term almost exclusively refers to the hardware device. When referring to the machine, it is often used interchangeably with photocopier, though copier is more common in North American English.
When used to describe a person, the term carries a historical or specialized connotation, such as in the context of archival work or ancient scribal traditions. In contemporary usage, describing a person as a copier can sometimes imply a lack of originality or a derivative nature, depending on the professional context.
