"Since late 2004, EFF has been warning the public about "printer dots"
-- tiny yellow dots that appear on documents produced by many color
laser printers and copiers. These yellow dots form a coded pattern on
every page the printer produces and can be used to identify specific
details about a document; for example, the brand, model, and serial
number of the device that printed it and when it was printed. In
short, the printer dots are a surveillance tool that can link each
printed page to the printer that printed it.........................

To help individuals learn more about printer dots and how to find
them, EFF posted a video and tutorial to Instructables, titled,
"Yellow Dots of Mystery: Is Your Printer Spying on You?."
