Answer 2

You can use a scanner to replicate almost anything that is printed, from photos to documents. You can choose what resolution you want the copied image to be, scan only part of it, and reproduce a colour photo as a black-and-white one.
Unless it is a colour copier, most photocopiers only produce monochrome copies, and if you only want to reproduce part of the original, you have to fold it or cover up part of it. Photocopiers can, however, turn out lots of copies in a very short space of time.

Answer 3

The photo copier speak for itself it duplicates the photo or any hard-copy document you have. A scanner duplicates the photo or any hard-copy document you have and save it as a soft-copy to a computer.

Photocopiers dont typically store the image as a file anywhere-- you cant save what you copy.
Scanners, are usually attached to some storage device (most often coputer but it can be a thumb drive or camera) and you can save and modify the image file for printing later.
