Xerox Copiers Altering Documents

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Apparently, Xerox scanners/photocopiers randomly alter numbers in scanned documents.

Naturally, I immediately wondered of any of those altered documents wound up involved in eDiscovery?

Update: Xerox has responded on their own blog. As I suspected, it wouldn’t be common for the characters to get changed as described in the first post, but you could certainly stumble into it and have some inaccuracies if you weren’t paying very close attention. Gladly Xerox will be issuing a patch, and explained how to set your device back to factory settings, where, apparently, the issue does not exist.

    Last night I posted about the idea that your employees using social networking tools, and gathering important information about yor business, your industry, etc. was a no-brainer.
