Xerox Corp.

Xerox Corp.
Major U.S. corporation.

It was founded as Haloid Co. in 1906 to make and sell photographic paper. It changed its name to Haloid Xerox Co. in 1958, and to Xerox Corp. in 1961. Xerox marketed the first xerographic, plain-paper copier in 1960 (see xerography), and the product was so successful that the company has had to wage a continuing campaign to prevent the trademark Xerox from becoming a generic term. In addition to copiers, Xerox sells scanners, fax machines, printers, software, and servers for networked printing. Its headquarters are in Stamford, Conn.
