Xerox is an American multinational document management corporation that produces and sells printers, multifunction systems, photocopiers, digital production printing presses, and related consulting services and supplies.

Xerox printers are a great choice for business owners because they offer exceptional print solutions that meet the needs of businesses of all sizes. So, whether you're just starting, or you've been in business for years, Xerox has a printing solution that's right for you.

Let’s consider a brief history of the tech giant and how Xerox printers have revolutionized the industry for decision-makers like you.

The History and Impact of Xerography

In 1938, Chester Carlson invented a process that would change the world: Xerography. You might know Xerox Corporation as a manufacturer of printers and copiers, but the company's history started with this one invention.

Xerography is a technique for creating images by scanning a light beam across a photoconductive surface to produce an electrical charge pattern. This pattern is then developed using toner, which adheres to the charged areas of the photoconductor.

Since its inception, Xerography has been used in various applications, from office equipment to 3D printing. Today, it is an essential part of our lives, and its impact can be seen all around us. 

Throughout the company's history, Xerox scientists and engineers have worked tirelessly to refine existing inventions and spearhead new innovations to become an indispensable champion in the print and tech industries.

In 1949, the first electric xerographic copier, which is fondly referred to as the Model A-was released. The tech titan would later release the first automatic, plain-paper office copier in 1959, the Xerox 914.  The Xerox 914 model was one of the company's most successful products, with a monthly production capacity of 100,000 copies.

Xerox's long-standing reputation for being an innovative and reliable tech brand has given them a strong foothold in the market for document solutions, printers, and managed print services.

Since its inception, Xerox has continued to revolutionize the industry. Let’s explore some of the advantages of Xerox printers.

An Innovative Move Toward ‘Waste-Free’

Xerox is a company that has, through much innovative work and technology, progressed closer to being "waste-free." For example, Xerox was the first company to produce reusable grades of cut sheet paper and automatic two-sided printing and copying, setting a precedent for others.

Paper is expensive, and the extra expenditures of printing, storage, and copying can start to add up. Did you know that up to 50% of business waste is composed solely of paper, and up to 82% of companies spend billions on paper? So double-sided printing reduces resource wastage and gives you the best value for what you're already paying.

Furthermore, Xerox printers and scanners meet or exceed the requirements for some of the world’s most recognized environmental performance. These include ENERGY STAR, UL's EcoLogo eco-labels, and Germany’s Blue Angel.

Up-to-the-Minute Printer and Data Security

You wouldn’t leave your doors unlocked, so why would you leave your printers vulnerable, where some of the most sensitive information passes through? With state-of-the-art security and data protection measures integrated into Xerox printers, you can double down on cyber threats. 

Intrusion prevention stops unauthorized individuals from gaining access to confidential information. With this technology, documents won't print until you're ready to collect them. In addition, with McAfee's Embedded Whitelisting technology, Xerox protects your system from malware even when you're not using it.

This technology monitors any attempts to install unauthorized code and stops it from running. You'll also receive alerts when these attempts are made. In addition, with ConnectKey Technology, Xerox printers encrypt and password-protect documents to ensure safety and compliance with industry standards.

Xerox printers and scanners make good business sense, as they’re designed for teams to get more done at a faster, more convenient rate. 

With a system that connects the digital and physical world, you have greater access to applications to accelerate certain tasks, advance protection and security at your fingertips, a printer interface as intuitive as a tablet, and the tools necessary to get big and small jobs done.
