Definitions

n.名词 noun

1
- : an electrostatic printing process for copying text or graphics whereby areas on a sheet of paper corresponding to the image areas of the original are sensitized with a charge of static electricity so that, when powdered with a toner carrying an opposite charge, only the charged areas retain the toner, which is then fused to the paper to make it permanent.

Wilson in 1959 called xerography “a fundamental new way of visual communications.”
