Re: Notice Printer

["Betsy O'Connell" <oconnell at nsls dot info>]

Aaron,

When we were using crash mailers, we used the Tally 2130 from our original 
Dynix system.  For the most part, it worked well; but, we did need to 
purchase an attachment to make it a network printer.

That said, we switched to regular letter paper for our notices several 
months ago.  After we went live on Innovative, we quickly discovered that 
this system is not as "crash mailer friendly" as Dynix was.  To include all 
of the information for each item on the notice, we were limited to two items 
per notice.  So, if a patron had three items overdue, two notice forms would 
be printed.

If you're interested, I have a Word document that outlines the Innovative 
settings we had used for our crash mailers.  I also have a Tally 2130 I 
could sell you.  :-)

Good luck to you as you work through your migration!
