Where is the paragraph about worldwide character substitution?
Xerox Workcentre devices all over the world are affected from a bug that does character substitution, found out by German David Kriesel. The bug lasted more than 8 years. When scanning on any quality mode (normal, high, higher; not affected in TIF mode), the JBIG2 algorithm causes perfectly layouted, repeatable character substitution. Recently Xerox published firmware updates for many Workcentre device families, however most devices won't be updated because of whatsoever causes (lazy update policy in businesses, low knowledge about the bug etc.) Public services, military, archives are affected as well.
I don't know whether it's better to link to the article(s) on dkriesel.com or to make a new paragraph. Also my English is not "encyclopedia-compatible". --79.248.31.53 (talk) 17:08, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
Research Centers
Xerox has many research centers around the world, and they are barely mentioned in the article. There is Xerox Research Center Europe, Xerox Research Center India, Xerox Research Center Canada and Xerox Research Center Webster albeit PARC. Xerox Canada was mainly responsible for [innovations in the chemicals industry for ink production]. Research Centre Europe, for example, was initially in charge of the dynamic pricing strategy adopted in the parking zones of Los Angeles. IMHO, it would be useful to list and describe those other sites as well so people don't think there is only PARC out there. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.233.117.90 (talk) 19:33, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
