The present invention relates to a system and method for storing digitally printable security features used in the creation of secure documents and, more particularly, to a system and method for storing incomplete portions of digitally printable security features (used in the creation of secure documents) on different devices/systems, and for merging the incomplete portions to form a fully formed complete security feature for printing by a printer.

System and method for storing digitally printable security features used in the creation of secure documents

The present invention relates to a system and method of securing a printer. The system includes a printer, having a nontransitory storage medium, configured to: store a password encrypted with a first encryption scheme; re-encrypt the stored password with a second encryption scheme upon a predetermined interval/event; receive a data stream from a host computer; determine whether the received data stream contains the password encrypted with the second encryption scheme; and print a document upon determining that the data stream contains the password encrypted with the second encryption scheme.

System and method for securing a device with a dynamically encrypted password

The present invention relates to a method and system used to ensure that a printer which is capable of printing security patterns loses its ability to print these patterns if the printer is disconnected from an approved system and, more particularly, to a method and system including a printer containing an encrypted key and password loaded into its memory, where the stored password must match a password present in a data stream sent from the host software application in order to print a requested print job.

Methods and systems for ensuring printer looses ability to print security patterns if disconnected from approved system

A system and method for securing a data stream containing data to be embedded in a bar code. The system comprising a printer, having a nontransitory storage medium, configured to: receive a data stream from a host computer, the data stream having at least one trigger identifying at least one portion of data to be embedded in a bar code; identify each trigger in the received data stream; extract each data portion identified by the trigger; and print a secured bar code embedded with the extracted data portions.

System and method for extracting triggered data from a variable data string and embedding the triggered data into a secure barcode

A system and method for securing a printer. The system including a server, comprising a nontransitory storage medium, storing program code configured to: receive a disconnect notice having a disconnect timestamp, the disconnect timestamp representing a time a printer was disconnected from a host computer; receive from a reader a request for validation, the request having a print timestamp derived from a security feature printed by the printer; compare the disconnect timestamp with the print timestamp to determine if the security feature was printed after printer was disconnected from the host computer.

System and method for remotely monitoring the status of a security printer, monitoring and controlling the number of secure media transactions by a security printer, and authenticating a secure media transaction by a security printer

A system and method for targeting marketing messages at a point-of-sale consumer by collecting current transactional receipt data, such as the time of a retail transaction, the date of the transaction, the number of items purchased the transaction, and the total dollar value of a transaction. The data collected from the receipt is then applied to one or more algorithms to determine which marketing messages are most likely to be successful. A predetermined number of marketing messages found most likely to be successful are then printed on the customer receipt in order of priority of expected effectiveness. The system is designed to be used in connection with a point-of-sale terminal without the need for additional hardware, such as a second printer, or the need to access historical customer data.

System and method for identifying a retail customer's purchasing habits

An improved ribbon cassette is provided for a receipt printer of the impact printing type. The ribbon cassette has two raised areas disposed on the distal ends of the ribbon presenting arms, about the print area defining the ribbon window. These raised areas act as pressure bumps or spring-like retaining pads that bias the paper against the platen. In accomplishing the bias, a paper bubble commonly formed in the ribbon window area is substantially reduced or eliminated. This has the effect of reducing the noise generated by the impact wires of the print head striking the paper.
