Best Answer

The process of xerography upon which the photocopier is based was first successfully demonstrated by Chester F. Carlson in Astoria, Queens, New York City on 22 October 1938. He was seeking a better means of reproducing drawings for use in patent applications, which until that time had to be reproduced by hand or through a costly and time consuming photographic process. It was another 20 years before the first fully automated photocopier was offered for sale by the Xerox Corporation of Rochester, NY.

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.
