I believe they want a printout from each machine, especially in the AM for 
zero reporting.

<<or do we want to group the election results on one machine and print one 
report that reflects how that particular precinct voted>>

You have to assume this will be required in addition to each unit printing 
out.

<<How's that going to work with five DRE's each producing a report.  Wouldn't 
they have to post all five reports on the window?>>

This consolidation will occur, if it is required, by accumulating each 
precinct on one of the AT units at the precinct.

<<wouldn't it make sense to have that same printer equipped machine print the 
zero totals tapes? Would anybody doubt that the zero totals actually came 
from each machine? >>

Yes, the printout would simply need to show the ID of the unit.

<<Maybe we ought to stick with the cable attached option just for sake of 
perception.>>

I think the "sexy" part of this will outweigh the issue as long as the Unit 
ID is on the printout.
