Abstract: An improved electrophotographic printer is provided for generating a security stamp in firmware, and printing that security stamp to create documents that have a visible and tactile logo that is automatically printed on each page of a print job. The firmware will automatically create the proper bitmap of the security logo for a page's print resolution and bit depth. Using a color laser printer, the security stamp can be printed using all of the process colors, such as CMYK, which would be rendered and printed at 400% toner coverage. This gives the security stamp a very dark visible appearance and a thick tactile texture. The security stamp can include an area for printing a serial number of the printer, and for printing a time and date stamp.
