The Act requires that they let you "inspect and copy" the records that respond to your request (except, of course, for the records the Act allows them to keep from you). 

In fact, you want a copy.  Generally they will make the copies for you and charge you the copy and search costs.  If they don't want to make the copies, they have to let you do it.  This does not mean, however, that you have to bring your own Xerox machine.  See the June, 1999 AG opinion on the subject.
