The term "Xerox copy" is often incorrectly used to mean the same thing as "photocopy." But "Xerox" is a proper noun and a trademark for the Xerox Corporation so "Xerox copy" actually means a copy made on a copier that carries the Xerox brand. The word "photocopy" means any copy that has been made using a photographic process and includes copies made on Xerox machines, and other copiers.

Why does the ink from an editor's pencil disappear when you put it through a Xerox machine?

Xerox photocopying machines used to be more sensitive to some colors than to others. In particular, they were insensitive to blue and certain felt tipped markers using blue ink could be used and their marks would not be copied by photocopy machines. Traditionally, editor's pencils were blue and so their markings could "disappear" from copies of marked-up proofs. However, modern photocopy machines, especially the ones that copy in color, must be equally sensitive to blue as to other colors or their output would be generally unacceptable. So "disappearing blue" is much less common now.


How can you photocopy in duplex both pages?

The ability to photocopy in duplex (or both sides of the page at once) is purely dependent on the ability of the copier machine to perform the task. Some machines can do it automatically - those that can't, you'd need to re-insert the 'side one copies' into the feed tray in order for them to accept the copy for the reverse.


What is the difference between the words upload and download?

The word "upload" means to transfer something to another place (mostly found in the Internet). But the word "download" means to copy something and put it in another place. Note: This answer only refers to the meanings of these words in technology. So, the difference between "upload" and "download" is: uploading is to transfer, but download is to copy.

What is the difference between xerox and photocopy?

You lay a page or photo on a copier - it copies and prints whatever you put on it. You lay a page or photo on a scanner - it copies the item and sends it to your computer. You can use software to make it look better or resize the image. When you are ready to print it, you send it to your printer. A scanner doesn't print.
