An excellent idea.  Please send your committee's findings to the RCR list when they are ready.

Can we get input from the field before we put resources into a project like this?  Perhaps a small committee could review this kind of request.

Subject: AVOS and GEMS support for 17" cards

We currently lack a ballot on demand printer that is capable of handling 18" ballots, but all printers of this class can handle 17".  17" ballots are a nice feature in their own right, being a standard paper size and all.  So, the request is to add support for 17" ballots in GEMS and AVOS.

 

This change requires a firmware change which we will slip into 1.96.  Support within GEMS artwork generation will follow, though there is no set schedule on this yet.  The important this right now is to get the release into the firmware so we don't miss the AVOS certification window.  If you have an account that would like to use 17" ballots for whatever reason, give us some warning and we'll do the GEMS update.  The changes required to GEMS are trivial and mechanical.
