Abaphengululi, kwakwabizwa ngokuba ziifotokopi, ziye zaba sisiqwengana seofisi yeofisi kwihlabathi lanamhlanje. Kodwa iqala phi yonke? Masiqale siqonde imbali yemvelaphi kunye nophuhliso lwe-copier.
Umxholo wokukhuphela amaxwebhu abuyele kumaxesha amandulo, xa ababhali bezoyipha izicatshulwa ngesandla. Nangona kunjalo, kwakungekho kude kube sekupheleni kwenkulungwane ye-19 apho kwaphuhliswa izixhobo zokuqala zoomatshini. Isixhobo esinye esinjalo "sisikopi," elisebenzisa ilaphu elinamanzi ukuhambisa umfanekiso ukusuka kuxwebhu lwentsusa kwisiqwengana sephepha elimhlophe.
Ukukhawuleza phambili ukuya kwinkulungwane yama-20, kwaye umatshini wokuqala wokushicilela wombane waqanjwa ngo-1938 nguChester Carlson. Ukuyilwa kukaCarlson kusetyenziswa inkqubo ebizwa ngokuba yi-xerography, ebandakanya ukudala umfanekiso we-electrostatic kwi-gurum yentsimbi, uyidlulisele kwisiqwengana sephepha, kwaye emva koko ucwangcise itolikhi ephepheni. Le nto ibeka isiseko setekhnoloji yokufotoko.
Ikopi yokuqala yentengiso, i-Xerox 914, yaziswa kwimarike ngo-1959 yiQumrhu leXerox. Lo matshini wohlaziyo wenza inkqubo yokukhuphela amaxwebhu ngokukhawuleza, kwaye kufanelekile ukuba isebenze ishishini kunye nokusetyenziswa kobuqu. Impumelelo yayo iphawulwe ukuqala kwexesha elitsha kwitekhnoloji yoXwebhu.
Kwiminyaka embalwa ezayo, itekhnoloji yekopi iqhubeke phambili. Yaziswa ngo-1980s, iiprimitha zedijithali zibonelela ngomgangatho ophuculweyo womfanekiso kunye nokukwazi ukugcina kunye nokubuyisa amaxwebhu ngekhompyuter.
Kwinkulungwane yama-21, abapheki bayaqhubeka nokuziqhelanisa neemfuno zokutshintsha kwendawo yokusebenza yanamhlanje. Izixhobo ze-Plus Ukudibanisa ikopi, shicilela, ukuskena kunye nezakhono zefeksi ziye zaba yimigangatho kwiindawo zeofisi. Ezi ntlobo-nkqubela zedesktops zedesktops zedesktops zedesktops kunye nezonyusa imveliso yamashishini angenakubalwa kwihlabathi liphela.
Ukuzama ukuphakama, iMvelaphi kunye nembali yophuhliso yekopi ingqina ubuchule bomntu kunye nomoya onobuchule. Ukusuka kwizixhobo zobuchwephesha zangoku kumdibaniso wedijithali wedijithali yanamhlanje, uphuhliso lwetekhnoloji yokukopa luyaphawuleka. Ukujonga phambili, kuyachulumancisa ukubona ukuba zivela kanjani ukuba zivele njani kwaye ziphucule, ukubumba ngakumbi ngendlela esisebenza ngayo kunye nokunxibelelana.
At HonhaMna, sigxila ekuboneleleni ngezixhobo ezisemgangathweni eziphezulu zeCopiers ezahlukeneyo. Ngaphandle kwezixhobo zokushicilela, sikwabonelela ngoluhlu lweeprinta ezisemgangathweni ezivela kwiimpawu ezikhokelayo. Ngobungcali bethu kunye nokuzinikela kubuchule bokwaneliseka kwabathengi, sinokukunceda ufumane isisombululo esifanelekileyo seemfuno zakho ezithile. Ukuba unayo nayiphi na imibuzo okanye uthethathethwano, nceda ukhululeke ukunxibelelana nathi.
