photocopy center
A retail space offering customer-operated copying equipment or professional printing, copying, and related office services.
A photocopy center is a retail space where customers can use photocopy machines, scanners, and other equipment to make print-outs or photocopies of documents, or where they can take advantage of professional printing, copying, and office-related services.
Customers may operate the equipment themselves or have staff perform the work. The center does not have to use a self-service arrangement.
Scanning and other document services can accompany photocopying or printing. A machine used only for an office's internal work does not establish a retail photocopy center.
