由托馬斯直率 | The affordability and growing popularity of color laser printers is raising concerns among civil liberties advocates that your privacy may not be worth the paper you’re printing on.

更多製造商裝備激光打印機的更加了不起的數字以在每打印的頁留下微觀黃色小點辨認打印機的號碼-的技術和最後，您，說基於舊金山的電子前端委員會，其中一個電子保密性主導的監視人。

技術多年來，但激光打印機和模型的增長的數量的下降的價格與這個特點導致更新的關心。

小點，無形對肉眼，能使用藍色LED光被看見和由當局使用例如特勤局調查用激光打印機做的假劣票據，說Lorelei Pagano，中央銀行假劣制止小組的主任。

保密性提倡者擔心打印材料當局想要跟蹤的罕知的技術可能誘捕政治反對派，告密者或者人。

「沒什麼關於限制它的應用仿冒調查的這技術」，說Seth Schoen，一個計算機程序設計者以電子前端委員會。「不做着錯誤的什麼的某些人也許安排他們的保密性被威脅」。 Schoen的測試發現了小點是由13家公司做的111臺顏色激光打印機生產的包括Xerox、坎農相機公司、惠普、Epson和兄弟。

小點在laser設備而不是噴墨機打印機仅被生產，在家通常使用。但激光打印機，導致更加耐久的圖像，變得越來越普遍，因為他們的價格下降到一樣低，像$300，認為Angele Boyd， IDC研究的副總統。

雖然激光打印機被做4% 33百萬臺打印機在美國去年只賣了，他們的銷售由雙重數字增長自2004年以來， Boyd說。

技術開始了，當激光打印機在80年代中期首先被生產了，并且政府和銀行恐懼爆炸仿冒， Xerox發言人McKee說的比爾。「在許多情況下，它是要求做生意國際上打印機裝備以這技術」， McKee說。

小點告訴當局做一個文件打印機的號碼。在某些情況下，它打印的它也告訴時間與日期， Pagano說。 “The Secret Service is the only U.S. body that has the ability to decode the information,” she says.

Printer makers “cooperate with law enforcement” and will tell authorities where a printer was made and sold, McKee says.

The Secret Service uses the dots only to investigate counterfeiting, agency spokesman Ed Donovan says.
