The digital revolution has replaced the use of printed documents with their counterparts. However, many applications require both due to several factors, including challenges security, installation costs, ease use, and lack expertise. Technological developments in domain have also resulted easy availability high-quality scanners, printers, image editing software at lower prices. Miscreants leve...

Abstract As 3D printing becomes an increasingly popular technology, knowledge of the processes employed by a printer becomes more important. In this paper, one particular printer, the Zcorp Spectrum Z510, is studied in terms of its color production. Two approaches to a spectral model are evaluated in terms of their ability to predict output colors of the printer based on input RGB values. The m...

A generic compact printer and a corresponding parser are constructed These programs transform values of any regular datatype to and from a bit stream The algorithms are constructed along with a proof that printing followed by parsing is the identity Since the binary representation is very compact the printer can be used for compressing data possibly supplemented with some standard algorithm for...

This paper proposes a texture analysis of the printed document based on Local Binary Pattern (LBP) descriptor for the application of printer identification. The LBP provides a statistical description of the pixels’ gray level differences within their neighborhoods. The occurrence histogram of local binary patterns is able to capture the document’s texture modifications by the distortion during ...

IBM PCs with parallel printer ports are widely available in teaching and research laboratories. This paper describes a novel system for controlling any equipment in general, positioning with stepping motors in particular via the parallel Centronics printer port of an IBM PC or compatible. Techniques are presented for exploring the unused parallel port or exploiting the Centronics printer port f...
