RCA-609

Containment Difficulty Classification: Low

Threat Classification: Low

Containment Protocols: RCA-609 is to be kept in the Area-14 computer lab for testing.

Description: RCA-609 appears to be a regular Lexmark inkjet color printer from the mid-2000s. However, RCA-609 can print animated GIF, PNG, and WEBP files, while retaining the animation. RCA-609 can also print video files, though without sound.

RCA-609 was purchased in 2006 when the Organization was ordering new printers, but its anomalous properties were not discovered until 2008, when a Junior Researcher was doing unauthorized activities on his work time.

RCA-609 uses regular ink. It is unknown how the “moving picture” effect is achieved, but it is probably anomalous.
