------------------------------------------------------------------------ Unleash Your Own Liberty Money Machine! <http://www.bigbooster.com/business_opportunities/money_machines.html> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: JC <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I did search using Altavista with the keywords.. +hidden +code +copier and found this document at http://www.naqp.org/staging1/press/copier_fraud.html I quote one part of it... ---------- "Industry manufacturers are also partnering together, incorporating enhanced security printing features, such as watermarks and holograms, into financial documents. They are also expanding the use of authorization codes and verification processes and producing state-of-the-art (snipped out line spacing) security devices that imbed hidden identification numbers in duplicated documents produced on a color copier or printer. This resulting "fingerprint" can then be used to trace the duplicated document and identify the specific machine it was created on. Law enforcement officials can then track and locate the offending machine and users. Some color copiers have even been designed to shut off when the machine recognizes the presence of a coded message in the original document being duplicated." -------- This is a Press Release that is on the web site of the National Association of Quick Printers (NAQP) which is the official trade association of the quick print industry. I added +counterfeit to my keyword and found this at http://www.sgrm.com/art20.htm It deals with destop publishing being used by counterfieters. The quote below is at the end of the section called "Safeguarding Currency" and deals with desktop scanners.. ------------------------- "Meanwhile, would-be counterfeiters may also find themselves stymied by security devices that appear on some of the equipment used to print fakes. For more than a year Canon Corp., the leading manufacturer of color copiers and a producer of printers and scanners, has quietly incorporated two anti-counterfeiting features into its business products, says David Farr, senior vice- president and general manager of Canon USA, Inc. The copiers include a specially programmed microchip that recognizes the currencies of several countries, including the United States and Japan. If someone attempts to copy the currency, the copier will print a black sheet of paper instead. "A more subtle deterrent imprints a code of the machine's serial number on every copy it produces. The number is encoded in ``microdots'' that can be printed anywhere on the page. ``Nobody even knows these features are in there,'' Farr says. The serial number can be decoded only with special equipment that he declined to identify, which the company provides to the Secret Service and other federal agencies solely for tracing counterfeits to the copier on which they were made." ----------------------- The resources page at this site.. http://www.sgrm.com/Resources.htm has some interesting looking links but I haven't had time to check them out. While these still aren't "proof" it is does tend to endicate that there is more to this than I thought when I first read the copier encoding post.
