- Mass faxing
- Topo map software that Bryan has
- propose suitable components, get BoardCommittee approval (done)
- buy system (mostly done)
- buy 2-sided print option (PhotocopierTask): BrettWuth

- physical housing: MikeStauffer, RussellBruder (done)
requirements
- able to transport under high vibration (e.g. washboard) without damaging delicate scanning mechanism
- enough space to be able to completely remove the lid (everything above the glass) in order to position large maps for scanning. Lid removes by lifting 2 tabs when lid is open.
- enough space to open lid and to use sheet feeder
- enough space to print legal size (14 inch) paper without crowding into corridor
- enough space to open printer to replace ink cartridges. Printer hinges open in the middle by pulling forward where paper comes out.
- glass level with counter top to allow large maps to slide on and off printer
- as much space as possible between the printer and the two walls of the corner so as to allow maps to hang over all four edges when scanning large maps.
- easy to reach access to front panel buttons
- the printer will become 2 inches wider (front to back) at the bottom back when the 2-sided print option is purchased. Because the top back currently overhangs the bottom back, this won't make the printer significantly wider (front to back).
- the power inverter needs to attach somewhere to the wall (as a heat sink) and to 12 V. It will power both the printer and the laptop, which will set on the counter.
- a cord will run between the laptop and the printer.
- install power inverter
- cache printer paper at firehall and in SARCAR
- build pictoral of how to pack, carry, transport, unpack
- label weight of case and printer
- software selection and configuration: BrettWuth
- Mapping Software
- consider MemoryMap (demoed by RoyDavidson) http://www.memory-map.com/ Will it run under Linux?
- convert to journaling file system (ext3) http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/ext2toext3.htm
- train people to use
