It depends on the circumstances, and the particular laws and precedent cases in your state.
Generally, yes. The common law rule is any duplicate, that is an accurate copy of the original can be admitted into evidence.
I've won cases with hand written duplicates that an elderly woman copied out on her kitchen table.
The method of reproduction needs only to be such that it reliably reproduces the original.
Hope this helps, and good luck to you.

Yup, sure is. That comes both under precedent and the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

It can be. However, an original copy is much better.
