DocuColor Tracking Dot Decoding Guide

October 18th, 2005 by noam, Filed under: Privacy, Full Disclosure, Digest

The EFF has broken the tracking code used by Xerox DocuColor. The “DocuColor” prints a series of yellow dots on a 15×8 grid on every page to identify the printer.

The EFF has created a web application that can be used to decode the dots which hide the time, date, and serial number of the printer.
