Xerography

For most people, the first day of work can be quiet a catastrophe. In fact, standing in a new office can be reminiscent of the first day of kindergarten waiting at the front gate with our hands glued to our mom’s hands unable to let go and take another step. At least during those days, we had teachers to depend on and to show us around the school. In a new office, however, everyone is pre-occupied with work so more often than not, a piece of paper is the only source of guideline to turn to in order to survive the rest of the day. Oftentimes, these orientation guidelines are misleading and contain unnecessary or inadequate information about the job, so they intimidate employees instead of welcoming them. This is seen in the first few paragraphs of “Orientation” by Daniel Orozco when a new employee is introduced to a new job in a new office. The employee is greeted with a bombardment of what to do and what not to do commands followed by unusual and disturbingly personal characteristics, relationships, and background information of most of the workers in the office. Daniel Orozco portrays this orientation paper as a narrator of the short story and uses literary devices such as patterns, symbolism, and imagery to support his theme that orientation plays a big part in welcoming a new member to the workforce yet modern offices tend to disregard its significance.

In 1947 Haloid went into an agreement with Battelle Memorial Institute, a not-for-profit research organization to manufacture machines based on ‘xerography’. In 1949 Haloid came up with the Xerox Copier. The machine failed to create a buzz and many financial analysts term Haloid’s investment in xerography as a ‘big mistake’ but Haloid continued investing money in the R&D of a second-generation copier. In 1950 Haloid signed its first commercial contract for a xerography copier. Soon sales started…

Abstract – Photocopiers make use of Toner (powder) to form the latent electrical image on the electrostatically charged drum. The paper has to slide over the drum during Xerography process and hence it picks up the toner. Vague issues cause the non-picking of toner particles (approximately 10%) and they are left over the drum. This non-picked toner is termed as Waste Toner (WT). As it adversely affects the quality of proceeding copies, this has to be removed from the drum. A cleaning blade made…

the paper puts a ribbon that has ink on it against the paper in comparison to the typewriter but has letters that are drawn out of a dot matrix that makes multiple fonts and graphics. Dot matrix printing was introduced to Japan in 1968 and had resulted in Japanese manufacturer OKI introducing the OKI Wiredot, LA30, LA30A, and LA36 to Japan and Maryland, Massachusetts and Centronics making a dot matrix printer called the Centronics 101.
