Morphology

autographer = autograph (semi-transparent) = auto + graph + er

The word is analyzable as auto- + graph + -er, but the resulting meaning of a device or person that records data or signatures is only partly predictable.

Etymology

Autographer comes from the parts auto- meaning 'self' and -graph meaning 'to write'. So it means 'self-writer' and is a good name for a device that writes or records information by itself, like an automatic recorder.
