Abstract
Apparatus preventing unauthorized copying of a document includes a secure document reproducing system having a document input device to receive and reproduce the secure document. A reader device detects an electronic data storage device affixed to the document and reads authorization information stored therein. A user wishing to copy the secure document inputs authorization information into a user interface module. The authorization information from the user is compared to the authorization information retrieved from the electronic data storage device, and if the two are identical, the secure document is reproduced.
