          This constitutes Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule 13D (the
     "Statement") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
     "Commission") by American Banknote Corporation, a Delaware corporation
     (the "Reporting Person"), with respect to the Common Stock, $0.01 par
     value (the "Common Stock"), of Scanforms, Inc. (the "Company"). 
     Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used herein shall
     have the meanings ascribed to them in the Statement.

     Item 3.   Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
               -------------------------------------------------
          The shares of Common Stock acquired by the Reporting Person since
     the date of Amendment No. 1 to the Statement were acquired in open
     market transactions at a total cost of $28,003.75 (including brokerage
     commissions).  Such cost was funded out of working capital, which may,
     at any given time, include margin loans made by brokerage firms in the
     ordinary course of business.

     Item 5.   Interest In Securities of the Issuer.
               ------------------------------------
          (a)  As of the date of this Amendment No. 2 to the Statement, the
     Reporting Person beneficially owns 154,800 shares of Common Stock,
     representing approximately 4.36% of the outstanding shares of Common
     Stock.  The foregoing percentage is based upon 3,546,648 shares of
     Common Stock reported outstanding as set forth in the Company's
     Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30,
     1996 as filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange
     Commission.

          (b)  The Reporting Person has the sole power to vote and dispose
     of the shares of Common Stock which it beneficially owns.

          (c)  Except for the transactions set forth on Schedule I annexed
     hereto, none of the persons identified in Item 2 to the Statement has
     effected any transactions in the Common Stock since the date of
     Amendment No. 1 to the Statement.  All such transactions were effected
     in the open market.

          (d)  Not applicable.

          (e)  The Reporting Person ceased to be the beneficial owner of
     more than five percent of the Common Stock on September 30, 1996.
