Preventing an Unauthorized Copy

You can print embedded pattern on paper to prevent them from being copied.

AMA001S

Using the printer driver, you can embed a pattern in a printed document. If the document is copied on a machine that has the Copy Data Security Unit (optional) installed, protected pages are grayed out in the copy, preventing confidential information being copied. If the document is copied on a ma- chine that does not have the Copy Data Security Unit (optional) installed, hid- den text becomes visible on the copy, showing that the copy is unauthorized. For details about the Copy Data Security Unit, the printer driver Help and Printer Reference.

Using the printer driver, you can embed text in the printed document for un- authorized copy prevention. If the document is copied, or scanned by a copier or multifunction printer, the hidden text becomes visible on the copy, dis- couraging further unauthorized copying. See the printer driver Help and Printer Reference.
