It only say to include UPC. Nothing about it being the original. My past experiences would say that a photo copy of the UPC would suffice and maybe phone call later if the rebate is denied. Just keep copies of everything and you should be fine. As always, YMMV.
Edit: I just saw that they put up a pdf file that says original UPC. If you got to
www.staplesrebates.com and print the rebate form from there, it is different than the pdf. This one can be tricky.
