History

Founding and early innovations

The Haloid Company was founded on April 18, 1906, in , by George C. Seager and partners, initially as a manufacturer of and related equipment, capitalizing on the growing demand for sensitized papers in the . The company experienced steady but modest growth over the ensuing decades, focusing on high-quality photographic supplies and expanding into photocopying accessories after acquiring the Rectigraph Company in 1935. Xerography, the dry copying process that would transform the company, was invented by Chester F. Carlson, a and part-time researcher, on October 22, 1938, in his makeshift laboratory in , . Carlson's breakthrough stemmed from observations of electrostatic attraction and ; he produced the first image by charging a plate, exposing it to through an original document to create a latent electrostatic image, and developing it with fine powder. After facing rejections from over 20 companies, Carlson partnered with the in 1944 for further refinement, and on January 1, 1947, Haloid secured a from Battelle to develop and commercialize the , marking a pivotal shift from to electrophotographic innovation. Under the leadership of , who became in , Haloid invested heavily in xerography's commercialization despite initial technical challenges and skepticism. The electrophotography process at its core involved sensitizing a photoconductive with a uniform positive electrostatic charge, projecting the document's image onto it via light exposure—which discharged non-image areas while leaving the image latent—then applying negatively charged particles that adhered selectively to the charged regions. The toned image was subsequently transferred electrostatically to plain paper and permanently fused using heat, enabling high-quality, dry copies without wet chemicals or special paper. As matured through Haloid's research efforts in the , the company rebranded to reflect its new focus, adopting the name Haloid Xerox in 1958 and fully transitioning to Xerox Corporation in , with "Xerox" derived from Carlson's term for "dry writing." This period culminated in the engineering of the first practical xerographic office copier, which automated the multi-step process into a user-friendly capable of producing copies on ordinary paper at the press of a button, revolutionizing document duplication.

Expansion through key products (1950s-1980s)

The , introduced in 1959, marked the company's first major commercial breakthrough as the world's initial automatic plain-paper , revolutionizing office document reproduction by enabling high-quality copies on ordinary paper without the need for special sheets or liquids used in prior machines. Priced at around $29,500 per unit with a rental model that charged per copy, the 914 quickly gained traction, with over 60,000 units installed by 1965, contributing 62% to Xerox's $393 million in annual revenues that year and driving net income from $2 million in 1959 to $5.3 million by 1961. This product's success not only propelled Xerox's growth but also expanded the global copier market from $500 million in 1963 to approximately $3 billion by 1972, establishing plain-paper —rooted in Chester Carlson's early 1930s invention—as the industry standard. Building on the 914's momentum, Xerox expanded its product lineup in the 1960s and 1970s with more accessible models, including the Xerox 813, the first desktop plain-paper copier released in 1963, which brought compact, user-friendly copying to smaller offices and became an immediate commercial hit. By the 1970s, the company introduced further innovations like the Xerox 4000 convenience copier in 1970, a quiet, compact desktop model with dual paper trays that enhanced everyday office efficiency, alongside color-capable options such as the Xerox 6500 launched in 1973. These developments catered to diverse user needs, sustaining Xerox's leadership while revenues surged from $1.7 billion in 1970 to $4.4 billion by 1976, reflecting an average annual growth rate of about 23% throughout the decade. Xerox's international expansion accelerated through the 1956 formation of Rank Xerox, a with the UK's that provided manufacturing, distribution, and market access across and beyond, enabling the company to penetrate non-U.S. markets effectively with its growing copier portfolio. This partnership was instrumental in globalizing sales of models like the 914 and its successors, supporting Xerox's dominance with a 97% share of the U.S. copier market in 1970. As the decade progressed, however, emerging competitors such as — which entered the copier space in 1970 with its Copier I and later models—began challenging Xerox's position, particularly in high-volume segments, though the company maintained over 80% global into the mid-1970s through relentless innovation. Diversifying beyond copiers, Xerox entered the printing sector in 1977 with the Xerox 9700, the first commercial laser printer, which used xerographic principles to produce high-speed, high-quality output directly from , primarily for connections in data centers. This $9 billion market entrant, capable of 100 pages per minute, laid the foundation for the industry and complemented Xerox's office equipment ecosystem, further bolstering revenues amid intensifying rivalry. By the late , these key products had solidified Xerox's position as the preeminent force in document technology, with worldwide copier revenues approaching 60% under its control despite rising pressures from and Japanese entrants.

Challenges and restructuring (1990s-2010s)

During the 1990s, Xerox faced mounting competitive pressures from Japanese firms, particularly , which introduced lower-cost plain-paper copiers and captured significant portions of the market previously dominated by Xerox's proprietary technology. This rivalry contributed to a sharp decline in Xerox's global copier , falling from over 80 percent in the early to under 20 percent by the end of the decade, as competitors like and also eroded demand for Xerox's higher-priced machines. Entering the 2000s, these market challenges compounded into a profound , with Xerox nearing in 2000 due to plummeting sales from the shift to alternatives, over $17 billion in , and shortages that fueled rumors of a potential filing for creditor protection. The company's woes were further intensified by accounting practices that inflated revenue, resulting in a 2002 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, where Xerox paid a record $10 million civil penalty, restated financial results for 1997–2000, and committed to enhanced internal controls without admitting wrongdoing. In response, Xerox pursued aggressive restructuring, including the 2009 acquisition of (ACS) for $6.4 billion, which bolstered its entry into and diversified revenue streams beyond traditional . The firm also attempted to separate its imaging business during the mid-2000s, including early proposals to research assets like PARC to reduce costs and refocus on core operations, though these efforts evolved into broader reorganizations. Throughout the , Xerox emphasized innovations in and expanded to adapt to digital workflows and declining hardware demand from legacy products. This shift enabled revenue diversification, with non-hardware segments such as services and supplies reaching about 50 percent of by 2016, reflecting a move toward recurring models. Culminating these changes, Xerox spun off its division as Incorporated in 2017, distributing shares to shareholders and allowing the parent company to streamline around document technology while Conduent operated independently with $6.7 billion in annual revenue.

Digital transformation and recent developments (2020s)

In the early 2020s, Xerox accelerated its by prioritizing software-enabled services, (AI), and hybrid work solutions to adapt to post-pandemic demands and economic pressures. From 2020 to 2023, the company emphasized remote and hybrid workplace tools, including secure mobile printing, cloud-based document management, and IT support services tailored for distributed teams, driven by the shift toward flexible operations. Concurrently, became a core pillar, with initiatives focused on reducing environmental impact through energy-efficient technologies and practices; in 2025, Xerox earned a spot on CDP's A List for transparency and performance, recognizing its high-quality environmental disclosures and progress toward by 2040. In 2024, amid ongoing challenges in the print market, Xerox implemented a new to streamline operations and enhance , which included a 15% global workforce reduction to support its reinvention as a services-led, software-focused . This aimed to consolidate functions, boost efficiency in managed print services, and integrate -driven for client workflows, positioning the company to better compete in ecosystems. Building on prior spin-offs that separated legacy businesses, these changes marked a forward-looking toward high-margin software and offerings. A pivotal development occurred in July 2025 when Xerox completed its $1.5 billion acquisition of , uniting the two firms' printer portfolios to expand market leadership in managed print services and high-volume production printing. The deal integrated 's hardware and software capabilities with Xerox's ecosystem, enhancing global reach and innovation in secure, AI-enhanced printing solutions; additionally, key executives joined Xerox's leadership team to drive post-acquisition synergy. Xerox's third-quarter 2025 financial results reflected the acquisition's impact, with revenue surging 28.3% to $1.96 billion, primarily from the integration, though revenue declined 7.8% due to macroeconomic headwinds like volatility in transactional print and funding uncertainties. Non-GAAP () fell to $0.20 from $0.25 year-over-year, missing internal guidance amid these pressures, prompting a revised full-year outlook with adjusted operating margins around 3.5% and of approximately $150 million. In November 2025, Xerox's Report underscored its digital progress, detailing and integrations that optimize client operations and reduce waste, alongside emissions reductions of 59% in Scope 1 and 2 from the 2016 baseline and 9.8% in Scope 3 year-over-year.

This initiative stemmed from Xerox's recognition of emerging computing trends, particularly the rise of minicomputers and the potential for digital tools to automate administrative processes, following the company's 1969 acquisition of Scientific Data Systems. PARC's initial charter focused on developing "the office of the future," envisioning integrated systems for information handling, document management, and collaborative workflows to address the growing "knowledge explosion" in business environments. The lab quickly attracted leading talent, including computer scientists , who joined in 1970 and advanced concepts in and user interfaces, and , a key architect of early personal computing systems. These researchers, along with others, formed interdisciplinary teams that drove foundational explorations in software and hardware. Starting with fewer than 20 staff in a rented facility near , PARC expanded rapidly during the to accommodate around 350 researchers and support staff, reflecting Xerox's substantial investment in long-term innovation. From 1970 until 2023, PARC operated with significant autonomy within Xerox's broader R&D ecosystem, which historically included centers in , and (the latter sold to Myant Capital Partners in June 2023). This independence, championed by PARC's first director George Pake, allowed for high-risk, high-reward projects but also created challenges in to Xerox's commercial divisions. Without a dedicated organization until , many innovations faced delays or resistance in integration, leading to internal and missed commercialization opportunities despite the lab's prolific output. In April 2023, Xerox donated PARC to to enhance collaborative research opportunities while allowing Xerox to focus on its core document technology and services. PARC's work profoundly influenced Xerox's product pipeline, particularly in printing technologies, where research led by Gary Starkweather resulted in the first laser printer prototype in , enabling high-speed, high-quality output that revolutionized document production. This advancement directly contributed to the Xerox 9700, launched in 1977 as the world's first commercial laser printer, generating billions in revenue and sustaining the company's core business through the 1980s. While broader computing innovations often diffused externally, laser printing exemplified PARC's ability to align research with Xerox's strengths in imaging and reproduction.

This move expanded Xerox's global footprint by incorporating 's established presence in regions like and , including manufacturing in and support centers in the and , thereby strengthening unified and customer reach worldwide.

Major acquisitions and mergers

Xerox's acquisition strategy has historically focused on expanding its technological capabilities and service offerings through targeted buyouts. In , the company acquired University Microfilms, a specialist in microfilm reproduction and publishing technologies, to diversify into document archiving and reproduction services beyond its core photocopying business. This move integrated microfilm production expertise, enabling Xerox to enter the academic and library markets for digitized . In January 2000, Xerox, in partnership with Fuji Xerox, purchased the Color Printing and Imaging Division of , Inc., for $925 million, significantly enhancing its color digital printing portfolio. The acquisition brought advanced inkjet and solid-ink printing technologies, along with and engineering talent, positioning Xerox to compete more effectively in the growing digital segment. This strategic buyout accelerated Xerox's transition from to full-color production systems. A pivotal expansion into business services occurred in 2009 when Xerox announced the acquisition of (ACS) in a cash-and-stock deal valued at $6.4 billion, completed in 2010. The purchase tripled Xerox's services revenue from $3.5 billion in 2008 to an estimated $10 billion by 2010, shifting the company's focus toward document management, IT outsourcing, and back-office processing. ACS's expertise in healthcare, , and sectors complemented Xerox's strengths, fostering integrated solutions for clients. Regarding Fuji Xerox, the joint venture's ownership structure saw a significant shift in 2001 when increased its stake to 75%, leaving Xerox with a 25% noncontrolling interest; no full ownership by Xerox occurred in 2015, though the partnership continued to drive operations. In July 2025, Xerox completed its $1.5 billion acquisition of International, Inc., acquiring hardware assets, , and capabilities to bolster its and portfolio. The deal united two industry leaders, adding Lexmark's laser printers, multifunction devices, and software innovations to Xerox's offerings, while enhancing global manufacturing efficiency. This acquisition is expected to contribute approximately $1 billion in annual revenue, net of intercompany eliminations, supporting Xerox's strategy in managed print services.

Controversies and legal issues

Accounting irregularities

In the late and early , Xerox engaged in a series of accounting manipulations involving and reserve adjustments to inflate its reported earnings. From 1997 to 2000, the company accelerated on equipment sales and leases through non-GAAP methods, such as treating vendor financing as customer payments and prematurely booking lease revenues, which overstated revenues by approximately $3 billion and pre-tax earnings by $1.4 billion. These practices, directed by senior management, were designed to meet expectations and disguise declining performance amid competitive pressures in the document management industry. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission () launched an investigation in 2000, culminating in fraud charges against Xerox in April 2002 for misleading investors over the four-year period. The company settled without admitting or denying wrongdoing, agreeing to pay a record $10 million —the largest at the time for an SEC enforcement action—restate its for 1997–2001, and engage an independent consultant to review its accounting practices. Separately, the SEC brought civil fraud charges against six former executives, including CEO Paul Allaire and Barry Romeril, resulting in $22 million in penalties, , and interest; a criminal probe by the Department of Justice followed but did not lead to indictments. The scandal triggered a severe market reaction, with Xerox's stock plummeting from a peak of about $64 per share in 1999 to under $4 by late 2000, amid broader 2000s challenges like the dot-com bust. This erosion of investor confidence pushed the company toward bankruptcy, with over $17 billion in debt and negative cash flow, but incoming CEO Anne Mulcahy averted Chapter 11 filing through aggressive cost-cutting, asset sales, and debt refinancing in 2001–2003. In response, Xerox implemented reforms to enhance financial governance, including full compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which mandated stricter internal controls and CEO/CFO certifications of financial reports. The company strengthened its internal audit function, expanded ethics training, and improved revenue recognition policies to align with GAAP, measures that helped restore credibility and supported long-term recovery.

Technical incidents and trademark disputes

In 2013, a in certain Xerox WorkCentre multifunction printers caused unintended character substitutions in scanned PDF documents, particularly when using the in its highest (normal) mode. This defect led to errors such as the "i" being replaced by "!" or numbers like "6" being altered to "8," which could compromise the integrity of scanned materials, including legal contracts and financial records where precision is critical. The issue affected models such as WorkCentre 5030, 5050, and 51xx series, occurring only under specific user-configured high-compression settings rather than operations like or . Discovered by a researcher, the bug raised concerns about the evidentiary value of affected scans in professional contexts. Xerox responded swiftly by releasing software patches starting in August 2013, which disabled the problematic compression mode to prevent further substitutions, alongside user guides to verify settings. These updates were distributed globally via the company's support channels, restoring reliable scanning functionality without impacting other features. Xerox has maintained vigilant trademark protection for its brand name since its initial USPTO registration in 1950 under number 525717, viewing "Xerox" as a proper tied to its products rather than a generic for photocopying. Beginning in the , the company launched public awareness campaigns to combat "genericide," including advertisements like "You can't xerox a xerox on a Xerox," which humorously warned against usage that could dilute the . A notable example was a 1979 letter from Xerox to , objecting to the phrase "xeroxed" in an article and insisting on alternatives like "photocopied" to preserve the 's distinctiveness. These efforts continued into the , with targeted ads in outlets like urging scriptwriters to avoid "xerox" as a , reinforcing guidelines that emphasize using the only as an , such as "Xerox copier." Enforcement actions have primarily involved cease-and-desist letters to and publications, supported by ongoing USPTO registrations for "Xerox" across categories like copiers and toners (e.g., registration 3864431 for inks). While no major court battles over genericide have arisen, these proactive measures, including style guides distributed to influential industries, have successfully maintained the mark's protected status.

Recent legal disputes

In January 2025, a securities lawsuit was filed against Xerox Holdings Corporation in the U.S. District for the Southern District of , alleging that executives and board members misled investors about the impacts of a 2024 company overhaul, including workforce reductions that reduced sales productivity, delayed product launches, and lowered revenue. The suit claims these misrepresentations led to a decline in the company's stock price following disclosures of weaker quarterly results. As of November 2025, the case remains ongoing, with a lead deadline of January 21, 2025. In October 2025, Xerox faced a lawsuit alleging violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) due to its website's lack of accessibility for visually impaired users, seeking injunctive relief to redesign the site in compliance with (WCAG). The case highlights ongoing scrutiny of digital accessibility in corporate websites. Additionally, in July 2025, Xerox reached a $9.1 million in a long-running over alleged violations in its call center compensation structure, resolving claims dating back over a decade.
