Photocopying is a mechanical process in this machine which creates copies of paper documents or other graphic images in a very quick time and at a low cost. The first of its kind was introduced by Xerox in 1960s. By the 1980s, Photocopying machines have slowly taken over from copies made by carbon paper, mimeograph machines and other substitute products that were used at that time. If will not be wrong to say that due to this usage preference the development of paperless offices was prevented in the initial years of digital revolution.

Today, Photocopying machines are used on a large scale in almost every business, institutes and government offices. Although, there has been talk about the extinction of photocopiers as more and more people are becoming used to digital technology for creation of important documents. Even distribution of such documents is preferred through digital technology than sending the actual piece of paper. But still a photocopier is easier than a computer for creating a normal copy of a written document.

I agree that photocopiers are used on a large scale today. Although some people are predicting that they are going to be used less, photocopiers do seem evolving to deal with this change, incorporating scanning, faxing and wi-fi technology.
