This sounds like the
problem we had in Duval last week.
Who’s printing the ballots for this account? Is it the ballot file or the printer? -----Original Message----- that's where we're going with this...just
like you said from the beginning! thanks for all your input..i havent
heard from them today so i HOPE things are going fine with the new marking
devices and the printer doing some reprints. -----Original Message----- 1.94F! is the exact equivalent to
1.94W. We have been using this generation of firmware in both IR and VL
units for a long time without the problems Blackhawk is experiencing. If
they are experiencing the problem on multiple units. And if the
units are passing the ballot diagnostics test without generating undefined
marks then the likely culprit is the ballots or the carbon content of the
pens. -----Original Message----- Blackhawk, Ia 194F! -----Original Message----- 1.94F can be the equivalent firmware to
just about any 1.94(choose a letter) firmware. The key is the character
after the F: +,#,<,&,etc. . This was done due
to certification issues. Please let me know what that character is so we
can tell what it is equivalent to. You can look it up on the ROM
EQUIVALENCE chart at: http://staff.gesn.com/resources/avos/relnotes
-----Original Message----- This is a "version" of the
"long mark" condition that M. Shamus (sp?) was so fond of..."High
Ovals" (excessively so) can cause "black blindness" before the
reader reaches the "hot spot area".. That is why feeding the ballots
bottom first is an assist............The new design (visible light) are not
affected by black blindness............ -----

Blackhawk, IA 11/06/01 election 194F i found
some ballots where the reg "tic marks" looked good but lining up oval
with ruler shows them "high" charlie conrad confirms that
"high" ovals are not good that is why "okay" when feeding
ballots bottom first. I have told her to start with fresh "test
ballots and new pen and let me know. i have explained the
"high" oval situation in infra red readers and if her tests come out
satisactorily she will have her poll workers feed bottom up if error messages.
hopefully that is all there is. thanks -----Original

Fully voted ballot some undefined Undef is the same as Invalid
Mark. It's on the cusp, neither a mark nor fly speck. Not
enugh carbon in the mark. |
