Yes, "Xerox" is a proper noun. It is the short form of the company name, Xerox Corporation, and is part of the company's trade mark.
The term "Xerox copy" is often incorrectly used to mean the same thing as "photocopy." But "Xerox" is a proper noun and a trademark for the Xerox Corporation so "Xerox copy" actually means a copy made on a copier that carries the Xerox brand. The word "photocopy" means any copy that has been made using a photographic process and includes copies made on Xerox machines, and other copiers.
By the 1970s, photocopying had become a $1 billion-a-year business, with Xerox in the lead.
Xerox is a company best known for its photocopying technology. As a verb, it is often used informally to mean making a photocopy of a document, but technically it refers to the act of copying using a Xerox machine.

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.
Xerox is the name of a large company that was founded, not invented. The xerographic process used in many copiers and printers that are made by several different companies was invented in 1938 by Chester A. Carlson.
