iCopy is a free and open source software that lets you combine your scanner and printer into a powerful, but easy to use photocopier by only pressing a button.Its simple user interface lets you manage scanner and printer options, like brightness, contrast, number of copies in a couple of seconds. Automatic Document Feeders (ADF) and duplex scanners are supported. You can also save the acquired image to file or to PDF. As it's small and no installation is required, iCopy is also suitable for USB pen drives.
