- Unauthorized Copy Prevention for Pattern

  Use this function to embed a text and background pattern in confidential documents. If an unauthorized copy of the document is made, the background pattern and text will be clearly visible. This function makes it easy to identify unauthorized copies.

- Data Security for Copying

  If a document with an embedded copy guard pattern is copied, scanned, and/or stored in a machine with the Copy Data Security Unit, the image of the page to be printed is destroyed, and the copy's color is turned completely gray.
