The automatic card shufflers do nothing else but shuffle cards. They do not have any other technology in them to give the the ability to do anything other than shuffle cards.

If a card is bent our creased (either on purpose or accidentally) it may stick or otherwise not not run smoothly through the automatic card shuffler. That's when the red light goes on and the dealer has to open the shuffler to see what the problem is. If this happens a few times with the same deck, the dealer will likely take a look at the problem card(s). That's when the bend or creased card may be discovered, necessitating the replacement of that card. The automatic shufflers also count the cards, just in case someone failed to return their cards to the dealer (accidentally or on purpose) after the previous hand.

Obv spammage.

But I'll humor you anyways. Like stated earlier, they do not detect "marked" cards, only bent and otherwise damaged cards. Please do go try to scam a casino though, and be sure to post the video of you getting your ass beat by security

First off the machine selectively scrutinizes the cards, looking for watermarks and if none found, it then preceeds to shuffle each individual one to ensure each has proper weight and color.
If any inconsistencies are found, then the shuffler will electronically dust for the most recent prints on the cards and send the fingerprints to a secure database of known casino cheaters and when the culprit is found the casino security is then notified.
Security then kindly escorts the culprit to a basement level room where the proceed to physically interrogate him on how he was able to slip the cards in the machine un-noticed.....I have said too much already.
Moral of post is. never try to cheat a casino.
