I wonder if there's a way to write the invisible text so that when printed,
you see not a "special code" but some page-covering pattern that makes the
regular text illegible?

I also wonder if the documents you want to protect can be bound in such a
way that they won't rest flat on a copier/scanner bed.

Can you give us a little more information about who has access to the
documents and how they're distributed?  How do you suspect they'd get out of
the office?
