it's supposed to be a machine that teachers used a while ago where they cranked it and made numerous copies of papers. The students were supposed to have immediately loved it when the papers were still wet b/c they smelled really good. Can you describe this smell?

They smelled like ink.

"Dido" may have been a specific brand.
The generic term was mimeograph and if you Google for "mimeograph smell" you will find a lot of references to that vaguely sweet, vaguely alcoholic scent associated with pale purple copies of maps, worksheets...
Yes, I do remember it, before schools had photocopiers or laser printers attached to computers.
