This is for blank ballots.

At least in theory.

It gets over the problem when large cities run out of ballots because they didn't print enough. Not sure who created that problem.

None of this precludes one of these in a back room with a ream of paper and a crooks with crayons creating fraud.

Would "blank ballots" already include security features? This says it prints everything including "security features".

If one off the shelf printer can print them, so can another, so I'd call "security" from Dominion, no more than marketing speak until proven otherwise.

At best, it's probably some sort of hash created with a non-published algorithm, which means no 3rd party can tell if the code is any good. It might be buried in a barcode. At best, it could be a code that the Dominion ballot box can read to know the ballot was generated by a Dominion program, or to prevent ballots from one precinct from winding up in another's ballot box, but that means a photocopier can create ballots too.

If it were to print a serial number or individual id on the ballot, ballot privacy is gone.

It could not be a security feature to verify a filled ballot, not a blank ballot.
