Xerox is a printing equipment company. They were successful in the past, which made their brand name "Xerox" synonymous with the word "copy". Now there are more printing companies so it is less common to say "can you make a Xerox". It sounds a bit outdated but a lot of people will still understand what it means. Another example of this is "Kleenex" and "tissue".
