It could certainly be used as a direct object. For example:

'Please could you pass me the copy of The Lady which is on the table?'

It is less likely to be used as an indirect object. Here is one example:

'Please can you add these amendments to the copy of the document which is on my computer?'

Correction:

In the last sentence above, "copy" is the DIRECT object of the preposition "to". The expression "to the copy" functionssimilarly to an indirect object, but the noun is still technically an direct object.

"Copy" as an indirect object would be fairly uncommon, but an example would be:

I gave the copy a quick scan.

[Note: "copy" is also a verb.]

Can you have an indirect object with a direct object?

Yes. In fact, a sentence must have a direct object in order to have an indirect object. (Note, however, that some consider the subject of a sentence in the passive voice to be an "implicit" indirect object, because it the sentence is changed to the active voice, the subject in the passive voice will often become an indirect object in the active voice.)
