Preface
This monograph is intended to be a guide for document examiners. It attempts to cover the examination of photocopiers for the purpose of discovering evidence that would assist in an investigation.
Information and physical facts are often contained on a copy that can be discovered and demonstrated. Techniques have been developed that will enable the examiner to make a thorough scientific examination. These techniques have been developed for the past twelve years. They have been tested and retested many times and are routinely used in the examinations. The courts have accepted testimony as in the majority of cases the result of the examination can be demonstrated.
This treatise is the first comprehensive treatment of the subject although other articles have been written.
