A digital copier differs from an old-style photo-copier in that rather than using a simple photographic process to reproduce the image, a digital copier has a digital scanner coupled to a digital printer. The scanner first takes a digital image of the original and then feeds it to the digital printer to produce the requested number of duplicates. The process is different, but the result is the same.

The practical upshot of the digital copier is that it can also be used as a digital scanner or a printer and often even a fax whereas a photocopier is just a copier and nothing else.
