Copier blocks illicit copying of confidential documents

TOKYO, Japan - Ricoh Co. said Dec. 9 it has developed a printer-photocopier capable of automatically blocking unauthorized duplication of classified documents. A woman holds a copy (R) imprinted with masked dots and a photocopy (left) containing no prints. If a person tries to make a photocopy of documents with masked patterns on the new copier, it will recognize the patterns and produce blank gray paper instead of duplicating the documents, the company said.
