Italian term or phrase: in semplice copia, trasmettere gli originali
I am confused about whether this sentence is asking for a copy or an original.

I can only assume they want the originals, but they must be photocopied - but this still does not make sense to me!

Context:

"comunicare il codice IBAN del conto...
qualora prodotti, in semplice copia, trasmettere gli originali dei seguenti documenti:"

That means they only need ONE original for each document, no more

I am not sure if "copy" could be the right word or raher it would be misleading, in English

Asker: Hello Sabrina, I don't understand what "in case" refers to.

Asker: Do you mean "if they were sent as copies, please send originals"?
