Computer-Based System and Method for Adding Variable Security Data in Printing Operations

A non-transitory computer storage medium storing instructions that when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method for adding variable security data, comprising the steps of:

• receiving or accessing print data;
• capturing a portion of the print data based on data-capturing criteria;
• modifying the print data for adding the variable security data based on the captured portion of the print data;
• and
• sending the modified print data for printing.

A computer-based system for adding variable security data, the system comprising:

• a memory for storing print data;
• a processor connected to the memory for capturing a portion of the stored print data based on data-capturing criteria, for modifying the print data to add the variable security data based on the captured portion of the print data, and for sending the modified print data for printing;
• and
• a printer connected to the processor for receiving the sent print data.
