It's to link pieces of the same printed paper to the same printer and if they incriminated you they can cross reference.

For example printers detect and block printing money, but you manage to do it somehow they can trace the money back to the same source. Even if you are the first owner they can't trace it back to serial numbers because these aren't registered with a purchase.
