"Xerox" is a registered trademark of the Xerox Corporation, so the phrase "Xerox machine" literlally means any machine that has been trade marked and sold by or for the Xerox Corporation.
The word "photocopier" is a term meaning any device that uses light to make a copy, and usually means a machine that uses dry ink, plain paper, and provides its copies quickly after the subject it exposed.
Since Xerox Corporation sells many machines that do not make copies, and many companies, other than Xerox Corporation, make and sell machines that make photocopies, the two terms can not be used interchangably.

A Xerox Machine is any machine marketed by the Xerox Corporation. Many different machines have been marketed by Xerox Corporation, and were invented by different people at different times. Some people incorrectly say "xerox machine" when they want to say "photocopier" or something similar. The process used in most modern photocopiers is called xerography and was invented by Chester Carlson. Machines using that process were developed (not invented) by a team of engineers working for the Haloid Company, later called the Xerox Corporation.

Leasing a photocopier costs business between $100 and $250 per month. Many companies offer copy machine leasing, including Canon, Xerox, HP, Savin, and Toshiba.
When Xerox Corporation first offered a xerographic photocopier, the machine was too expensive for most businesses, so a leasing plan was developed. As a result, in the early years of copier machine manufacturing, Xerox had greater profits from leases than from sales.
The process of making black toner for a Xerox photocopier is very exacting, even for the older machines. If you could get all the ingredients, some of which are not easy to find, and you tried to make it at home what you made would probably not work in the machine because of the need to precisely control the size of the toner particles.
A Xerox machine is any machine manufactured or markets by Xerox Corporation with the company brand on it. The company sells several different kinds of machines, so how you use one depends on what kind of machine it is. The machine most commonly associated with the Xerox name among the general public is the photocopier. Several other companies make and sell photocopiers using their own brand names. When using a photocopier, you generally just open the cover, put the sheet-to-copy on the glass table revealed by opening the cover, close the cover, and press the copy button. Most machines have other buttons for more advanced features, but those vary by machine.

Xerox developed the first successful photocopier, the Xerox 914, which was introduced in 1959. This revolutionary machine utilized the process of electrostatic dry copying, allowing for quick and efficient duplication of documents. The Xerox 914 became commercially successful and is considered a landmark product in the history of office technology.
