in May and June 2005 depending on a school's calendar.
By the end of September, all deliveries and installations
will have taken place.

1.
An LCD projector, 100" diagonal portable screen,
and Hewlett Packard 4650n printer will be delivered
to 72 schools by KIS Computers Inc.
1a. The coach will be asked to identify the location
for the delivery and share that information with several
persons at the school so no time is wasted during the
delivery process.
1b.The printer is over 80 pounds and needs a sturdy
location. approximate size is 19" W x 24"H
x 19" D. Allow space for ventilation.
1c. Providing electrical access and ventilation space
for the printer is needed. Direct pluggin is recommended
using no outlet strip.
1d. The installers will not be able to set up the printer
for network addressing (IP or Internet Protocol) for
security reasons. It can be setup with "AppleTalk"
or "Rendevous." to connect with Any late model
Macintosh.
1e. The printer will be set up for networking. An IP
network address needs to be assigned to the printer.
A site technology person should be able to provide that
information and place the Assigned IP number in the
printer location.
1f. A procedure to switch printing from the all-in-one
scanner/printer to the new printer will be developed.
1g. The portable screen is 100" diagonal. Light
weight and compact. IMPORTANT: Swivel out the
supporting feet prior to opening and lifting
the screen otherwise it will fall over. The screen is
easily dented if it falls on an object. Avoid settng
up the screen in a drafty area or under a operating
vent. Train every potential user in the proper set up.
Forgetting to swivel out the supporting feet is easily
overlooked.
