Sure, it does! The term "Xerox" is actually a specific brand name that has been popularly used as a general term for photocopying. Similar to other common nouns, the plural form of "Xerox" is "Xeroxes". It's like saying "Cokes" to mean several Coca Cola drinks. As the name of a company, it's standard practice to avoid using such names as generic terms for similar products. Similarly, Xerox has long fought to prevent its name from being used as a verb or a noun to maintain its brand identity.
