Xerox was founded in 1906 in Rochester, New York, as the Haloid Photographic Company. [11] It manufactured photographic paper and equipment. In 1938, Chester Carlson, a physicist working independently, invented a process for printing images using an electrically charged photoconductor-coated metal plate [12] and dry powder "toner".
Joseph Chamberlain Wilson (December 13, 1909 [1] – November 22, 1971) was the founder of the Xerox Corporation, a graduate of the University of Rochester and Harvard Business School [2] and a member of the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity (Beta Phi chapter). He helped to develop xerography pioneered by Chester Carlson.
Chester Floyd Carlson (February 8, 1906 – September 19, 1968) was an American physicist, inventor, and patent attorney born in Seattle, Washington.. Carlson invented electrophotography (now xerography, meaning "dry writing"), producing a dry copy in contrast to the wet copies then produced by the Photostat process; it is now used by millions of photocopiers worldwide.
Xerox Corp has been engaged in a bitter war with two of its top investors - hedge fund managers Carl Icahn and Darwin Deason - over its deal with Japanese camera maker Fujifilm Holdings Corp ...
The Xerox 914 was the first successful commercial plain paper copier. Introduced in 1959 by the Haloid/Xerox company, it revolutionized the document-copying industry. The culmination of inventor Chester Carlson 's work on the xerographic process, the 914 was fast and economical.
The Datacopy Model 700 was the first flatbed scanner for the IBM PC when it was released in early 1985.. Datacopy Corporation was founded in April 1973 in Palo Alto, California, by Armin Miller, who previously founded the hard disk drive manufacturer Data Disc in 1962 before leaving that company in 1970.

Xerography is a dry photocopying technique. [1] Originally called electrophotography, it was renamed xerography—from the Greek roots ξηρός xeros, meaning "dry" and -γραφία-graphia, meaning "writing"—to emphasize that unlike reproduction techniques then in use such as cyanotype, the process of xerography used no liquid chemicals.
Haloid called the new copier machines "Xerox Machines" and, in 1948, the term Xerox was trademarked. Haloid eventually became Xerox Corporation in 1961. In 1949, Xerox Corporation introduced the first xerographic copier, called the Model A. [ 3 ] Seeing off computing-leader IBM [ 4 ] in the office-copying market, Xerox became so successful that ...
