A specimen signature is an official 'copy' of your signature that is kept on file and if needed in the future can be used to verify if a signature is genuine.
/s/ on a signature line means that the signature is on the original document, not on the copy that you're holding. It is a representation that the original document is properly signed, but for some reason you only have an unsigned copy of the document. An unsigned copy of a document may be used for reference only or it may be a file copy (when it is not necessary to have a signed copy of the document).
A lithograph is generally a copy of a work, usually produced by the original artist. This would mean that the signature on the work would be real, although it can be faked on occasion.
a transcript is a copy of the original paper
Forgery is making of a false copy of an original, with the intent of deceiving another as to the validity of the copy- as in a false copy of a signature on a check.
If a copy artist reproduced one of Monet's paintings, it is likely that he/she would have also reproduced Monet's painted signature, unless the distinction as a copy was meant to be obvious. A "print" of a painting is, by definition, a copy of the original painting and would therefore include the painted signature - obscuration of the signature would constitute a defacement of the original in the process of print production.
A "copy" is any reproduction of an original. A "certified copy" is a paper document that is a copy of an original in some form and that has been certified by the person making the copy to be a true and unaltered copy of that original.
A notary public verifies that a person is who they say they are. <><><> They certify that a signature is that of a given person- and they may certify that a copy of a document is a true copy of an original.
I hope you have a copy of the original lease agreement. What she did is not legal.

Yes, a copying machine is designed to replicate the content of a written piece of paper onto a blank piece of paper. Just place the original written paper on the copier's scanner bed, press the copy button, and it will produce a duplicate copy of the content.
Scan results in an image of your document being sent to your computer whereas copy puts an image of your original on paper.
