When the reader doesn't calibrate on the leading edge of the ballot, the reader sends zeros to the data stream as it is supposed to.
You'd think Global could handle a simple thing like that with its central count firmware as it has done with its precinct count firmware (PC 1.94p and greater).
It sounds like we should be sacrificing to the gods to save us from our software.

> If the message is "BLANK CARD FEED" as opposed to "REJECT_BLANKCARD", then yep I've seen it before. Reader not calibrating. Out of our (ie, Global software development) control. As to why it does that, you'd need to ask Luc[r]id Technology. At $700 a pop, you would think they could fix this.
