In this age of computers, smart phones, and tablets, it’s easier and more efficient to retain files, documents, receipts, even books, in their digital forms. Quite a space saver! In the tech world, those are referred to as soft copies.
So what do you call something printed on paper? A hard copy, of course. Hard copies don’t require an electronic interface, like computers or mobiles phones, to read and display because they are a printed version on paper of data held in a computer. A hard copy is also known as a printout.
Ex: I prefer email receipts but today I needed a “hard copy” for a rebate request.
