Reply to comment by SketchyApothecary in TIL that back in 2013, Xerox had scanners that would randomly change numbers after scanning a document. by COMPUTER1313

The fun part is that was not about recognition. Scanning shouldn't do any OCR, so in that context any meaningful character manipulation (like replacing one character with another one) look shady as hell. Thankfully it turned out to be just an overly zealous compression algorithm.
