I spoke with an old employer who is in the biz yesterday via email. He is the owner but is pretty tech savvy. Anyway he says that the older devices used an eprom to record images for multiple copies. The hard drives were faster and cheaper and would save time if you made a slight change to a 100 page doc, it would identify that same page is there from an earlier pass. That processing time and speed = higher ppm ratings. They have their own hash to identify a unique page. He also said that getting the breakers for the encryption was not as easy as alluded to. His last point was that this news was the best thing to get a refresher with each one of his customers. He was calling them about it and setting the info properly. -- Stephen Russell Sr. Production Systems Programmer CIMSgts 901.246-0159 cell _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
