PrintDel Colleagues, Gill, and Jay,

1. Mark Prudden sent another two short files (approx 7 pages each) to GLTW
and GLMP. We would appreciate having them printed and the output brought to
us (NOT delivered to the apparent addressee).

2. I understood from our meeting on Monday that PrintDel will explore
running the GLMP queue at 600 DPI. We know that the grey bars look much
better printed at 600 DPI. Can you give us an update on what you've found?

3 If it is necessary to run the GLMP queue at 300 DPI for the November
statements, could you continue trying to get to 600 DPI in time for the
December statements?

4. Independent of whether GLMP ends up as 300 DPI or 600 DPI, I think that
the test queues (GLTE and GLTW) should run at the same resolution as the
production queue - in order to make test output as representative of
production output as possible.

5. In the very short term (e.g. Thursday, 29-Nov-2001), Gill and Jay need
to be able to see sample output produced at both 300 DPI and 600 DPI. Can
you arrange that output produced under either Gill's user ID (GEMMONS) or
Jay's user ID (JNICKER) on either the GLTE (600 DPI) queue or the GLMP (300
DPI) queue be printed in E19 and held for (or brought to) Gill or Jay?

6. Allan Davidson has been doing some work with the SAPscript layout set
for the Summary Statement and the DTR. Right now that work is only in SF2.
We have been looking at the Summary Statement and the DTR as printed on a
300 DPI departmental HP printer (via Athena Print Services) and on both 300
and 600 DPI IP60 printers (via InfoPrint Manager). These is nothing that we
can do about the grey areas looking like separate dots (that depends
entirely on the print resolution). However, Allan has dealt with the solid
line at the bottom of the DTR and the vertical line at the left of the
Summary Statement and the DTR. We believe that that if the Summary
Statements and the DTRs have to be printed at 300 DPI, the only thing that
will not look good will be the grey areas - and they won't look any worse
than they do on the current Summary Statements and DTRs (printed via AFP).
