growing up in India over past 4 decades .. 'Xerox' was/is the default and most common word used for photocopying ... only recently have I started using/hearing the term 'photocopy'.
every town and every street had "XEROX shops" where people went to get various documents photocopied for INR 1 per page for example
Most photocopy centers are still called XEROX Shops -- and their boards say that in big bold text: https://www.google.com/search?q=xerox+shop+india&udm=2 https://www.google.com/search?q=xerox+shop+india&udm=2
It doesnt matter if they use Canon, HP, or other brands of machines
