RE: Ballot On Demand - Minolta Printer - Printer Problems
It
sounds like a printer problem, but then you would expect the ballot printing to
drift over a run of ballots. Do the printing change during a run or is
there a length of idle time between these events? Is the printer left
powered on continuously? Are the same ballot styles being printed when
this happens? Has the system been restarted between
events?
FYI:
I've
been talking with GBS on the Minolta BOD problems that they have
experienced. They have had success and/or failure using different
combinations of GEMS and Minolta drivers.
- With
GEMS 1.14, the Minolta drivers from the Adobe website worked
well.
- With GEMS 1.15, text printed over
ovals.
- With GEMS 1.16, the drivers from the
Minolta website worked.
- They
have not had any experience with Minolta BOD on GEMS
1.17.
Rodney
Turner was in El Paso County, TX last week and found that he had to use a
combination of three drivers to get their BOD to work with GEMS 1.17.
Perhaps he experienced this problem and knows
of a solution?

Shelby County, TN
is doing Ballot On Demand with a Minolta Pageworks 20 printer. They have
not had any problems in the past. However, they are now experiencing
problems where the ballot will not print correctly, as if the offsets have
changed completely. Once the offsets are entered correctly and the
ballot prints correctly, they are able to print ballots. Then out of
nowhere it will start printing incorrectly. They go back to check the
offsets and they have not changed, but then need to change them back and forth
to get the printer to print correctly again. Is this a Gems problem,
(Gems 1-16-4), or a printer problem??? I do not have a Minolta Pageworks
20 printer here in Omaha to be able to test.
