Copy salesperson left I scan, removing covers (7)
I believe the answer is:
replica
'copy' is the definition.
(I know that replica is a type of copy)
'salesperson left i scan removing covers' is the wordplay.
'salesperson' becomes 'rep' (sales rep).
'left' becomes 'l' (common abbreviation).
'removing covers' says to take the centre (letters which cover the word are removed).
The middle letters of 'scan' are 'ca'.
'rep'+'l'+'i'+'ca'='REPLICA'
(Other definitions for replica that I've seen before include "Facsimile" , "knock-off" , "Perfect copy" , "Exact copy or model" , "Parcel I arranged as exact copy" .)
