"When the note or item is placed in a photocopier or computer scanner, a line of microprint text will appear to the copier or scanner as a dotted line, which will then appear in the same manner on the counterfeit note or item when it is printed."

This seems wrong to me. Current scanner resolutions are well above printer resolutions and even home-use scanners are capable of scanning microprint (more than 100 px per millimeter). For printing, it may be different, but I have successfully printed readable 2pt text with a common office laser printer. --Jan 01:04, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
