A Xerox Machine is any machine marketed by the Xerox Corporation. Many different machines have been marketed by Xerox Corporation, and were invented by different people at different times. Some people incorrectly say "xerox machine" when they want to say "photocopier" or something similar. The process used in most modern photocopiers is called xerography and was invented by Chester Carlson. Machines using that process were developed (not invented) by a team of engineers working for the Haloid Company, later called the Xerox Corporation.
Chester F. Carlson invented the Xerographic process used in Xerox machines in 1938 in Astoria, Queens, New York City. After decades of develpment the first Xerox Machine, the first fully automated copier, called the 914 was offered for sale in 1959. Xerography is a system of dry writing which uses special powder, static elestricity, and a light-sensitife semi-conductor to make a photographic image or copy.
Which is better depends on what you need to do. Dry toner (powder) is the more common kind of xerographic copier and printer, but liquid toners (and the machines that use them) are still offered for certain functions.
Generally speaking, Xerox relies on several types of engineers to improve existing products or to create new products. For example, Xerox hires mechanical engineers, electronic engineers, chemical engineers and materials science engineers.
When people use the term "Xerox machine" they usually refer to a copier or a printer. In that sense, a Xerox machine is used to make copies of documents, or images of other small objects that can be placed on the platen, or to print the output from a computer or facsimile (Fax) machine
Machines marketed by the Xerox Corporation use a variety of electrical motors.
There are a wide variety of retail locations and internet pages where Xerox WorkCentre machines and supplies can be purchased. The Xerox website is a good resource for such a service.
Fuji Xerox does not have any dealers in the United States. Xerox machines and related products and services are marked in the United States by the Xerox Corporation, which owns 25% of Fuji Xerox. Fuji Xerox markets Xerox machines and related products and services in the Asia-Pacific region, including Australia and New Zealand, and has dealers in that region.
Xerox Corporation developed its own software for the DocuTech family of machines.
As of 2004 there are many models of the Xerox machine. Some include the Xerox Work Center 3, Open Box Work Station, and the Xerox 3220 DN.

It is the photocopier drum usually relating to Xerox machines.
Xerox Corporation has its corporate headquarters in the US; in Connecticut. Some machines sold or rented by Xerox in the US are made in the US and others are made in other countries.
Photocopy machines, whether made by Xerox or other companies, do not cause infertility.
No. The only radiation produced by some Xerox machines is light, and some electromagnetic radiation.
"Xerox Star" was the code name for a computer of the type that we might now call a PC, but the Star was designed to work through the Ethernet network with other machines and servers. This was one of the machines on which the graphical user interface was further developed by Xerox both before and after Apple began using that process.
