I am not aware of any solution that is “actively” being pursued, but a
response from development would be more appropriate on this one. Larry J. Dix Vice President of Operations Global Election Systems -----Original
Message----- In an open forum with
ESS and Sequoia, this question was asked of all the vendors, do you have a BOD
printer. Our competitors answered
in the affirmative without mentioning any limitations. Maybe they do, maybe they don’t? Just trying to stay
ahead of the game. Are we actively
pursuing a complete solution? If
so, what are our expectations? John -----Original
Message----- That is a very open ended question. We do have printers that will do ballot
on demand, but with limitations.
As you may or may not be aware, there was an effort put together a few
years ago to market and sell a ballot on demand solution. It required a HP 5000 LaserJet SI HM
(Heavy Material) printer. That
printer would allow ballot stock to be printed in duplex within our AVOS
specifications. That particular
model is no longer being produced.
Since that time a Minolta Page works printer has been used to print
ballots in one customer site and now a QMS 4032 printer is being used by one of
our agents as a solution for BOD.
The Minolta and QMS printers do not support an 18” ballot, therefore the
limitation that I mentioned previously. The simple answer is yes we have a ballot on demand
printer. The next question should
be, will it provide the functionality that is required. Where are you planning on selling this? Larry J. Dix Vice President of Operations Global Election Systems -----Original
Message----- Have we a Ballot on Demand Printer or No? If so, or
in the near future, please provide
details. |
