Schedule A, Section 1.2. Hardware, Subsection A.4. Data File Types
22
In the specifications for the bid, it requests that the printer is capable of doing multiple file formats. VIPP, PCL, PS AFP etc. Are you asking if the printer can actually print all of those formats or are you requesting adding all of the licenses/cost so that every single format can be printed if the bid has been one included in the bidder price?
The printer must be able to receive and print one of the formats listed on the bid. Bidder should be able to list what file forms can be received and printed by the device being bid.
5
Schedule A, Section 1.2. Hardware, Subsection A.10. Stacker
Concerning the stacker requirements in the bid for oscillating stackers. My one stacker prints 3000 sheets at a time. Out putting the first 3000 sheets so that the operator can unload while the printer is running. Then continues to print another 3000 sheets. The total capacity of the stacker 6000 sheets, but it is considered a continuous stacker. Does this satisfy bid requirements?
This is acceptable as long as the printer can run continuously while unloading documents.
