How it's used

Focuses specifically on the physical reproduction of documents rather than the act of copying itself. While the verb 影印 is used for the action, the noun 影印本 is reserved for the resulting paper copy. It is standard in administrative and professional settings when requesting supporting documents.

Common mistake

Avoid using 影印本 to refer to the act of photocopying; use the verb 影印 instead. Also, do not confuse it with 副本, which refers to a duplicate or a copy that may be a carbon copy or a digital file rather than a direct photocopy.
