RE: printing

[VICTORIA GREENE <vg0001@xxxxxxxxxx>]

We are about to implement a print management solution from Jamex
(800-289-6550).  The software is LPT1.  It is set up in a test area and
seems to work well.  We
are using the card dispenser/revalue hardware, not a coin machine.  Total
cost depends on the number of PC's or other devices you want to be able to
license and the number of print release stations.  We are providing our
own PC's for the print release stations since the hardware requirements
are minimal.
  Our staff did the software install and it went smoothly, so we did not
need to pay installation costs.

We looked at Library Guardian and Pharos and selected LPT1.  I think LPT1
is available from other vendors such as Vernon.
