Xerography is the name of the process that was invented in 1938 by Chester Carlson and developed by the Haloid Company into the first fully automatic plain paper copier, the Xerox 914, in 1959. Xerography is a modern word developed from two Greek roots meaning "dry writing."

Shortly after releasing the Xerox 914, The Haloid Company began a transition to a new name, Xerox Corporation. The name Xerox was taken from the term Xerography, and shortened using the model of the name of Kodak, the other large technology company in Rochester, NY, at the time
