An autopen is sometimes used to deal with a high volume of signature requests - it is not used to "cheat" fans - it's a way to ensure that people do get an autograph (albeit, a mechanically-reproduced one.)

Most big time celebs doesn't bother signing fanmail at all except in extreme rare cases (or they simply get too much , like 100s or 1000s a week !).....waited several yrs for Marcia Cross and only got autopen in the end {down}

Well with Jack Nicholson he's not acting anymore so I'd figure he'd sign with his own hand.

Tanks for explaining warlordforever04 & northwellguy! Such a shame that people would do that...

An autopen is a mechanical device that automatically reproduces a person's signature, used typically in situations where someone is required to sign a large volume of documents such as a politician or celebrity.
