Best Answer

The dry paper copier, or photocopier, uses the photoelectric effect as its basic working principle.

The process is to spray electric charge upon the smooth surface of a semiconductor and then flash an image to be copied onto this surface. The light causes the plate to discharge in that local area. When pigment powder is sprinkled over the plate it sticks to the charged spots and falls off the discharged spots. The plate is then placed in contact with a blank sheet of paper to which the powder is transferred. Then the paper is heated under pressure to stick the permanently pigment to the paper.

Who invented the photocopier?

Photocopiers replaced several less-versatile machines, including the mimeograph, a nasty monster that used a typed template on a drum. Ink inside the drum flowed out through openings made by the typewriter, and onto paper as the drum rotated over it. Those of us who used them were very happy to see the first photocopiers, believe me.
