PRINTING AND PHOTOGRAPHY DIVISION
WEEKLY REPORT FOR PERIOD ENDING
17 May - 23 May 1984
1. Items or Events of Major Interest that have Occurred During the Preceding
Week
A. ADP Activities: P$PD representatives met with Cartography and Design
Group (CDG), OJCPI personnel to discuss interfacing the ICADDS system
to the P$PD's Dicomed Graphic Recorder for 35mm/8xl0 film output. Plans,
Programs & Systems Staff (PP$SS) will hold discussions with Dicomed to find
out the interface requirements for the recorder. Intergraph (manufacturer
of the ICADDS) will write the driver for the link after the specifications
are known. Initial testing will be via magnetic tape with progression to an
electronic link.
B. ETECS Renovations: The Air Handler in Room GJ-66 was rewired on
Saturday, 19 ay, ectrical service was activated for all outlets in CO-66
and GJ-64. A problem was found concerning the electrical power requirements
for the Autologic APS Micro-5 phototypesetters. The contractor and a Head-
quarters Engineering Branch representative worked out changes to alleviate
the problem. This project is expected to be completed by the end of May.
C. MIS: All development work on the job posting, scheduling, and tracking
modules 5T-the new VM based MIS have been completed. Operational test and
evaluation activities commenced on 22 May 1984. User training for P&PD
personnel will be given on 30-31 May and 5-6 June 1984.
D. Copier Activities: The P$PD Copier Management Program (CMP) is re-
viewing rental equipment for possible eligibility for conversion to purchase.
Factors being considered are accruals, warranties, machine reliability, service
records and response, and anticipated life versus payback period. CMP
activity has increased 27% as of this reporting period in comparison to all of
FY83.
The Xerox 9900 is being installed in the Bindery and Reproduction
Center (BI',RC), GJ-56 Headquarters, for a 60-day trial. It is anticipated
that this machine will prove to be beneficial to P&PD. This machine is the
newest generation of high volume duplicator/copiers.
E. Television Activities: An examination of videotapes produced by two
different foreign- stanar conversion systems indicates that either the Quantel
or the AVS-6000 system should meet most Agency requirements adequately if a
system were to be purchased. Plans, Programs and Systems Staff will continue
to explore other systems to meet Agency needs.
