  Subject: Accumulator paper log with no 
  paper
  
  
  BSCE-4.1.1.  
  Paper tape is removed from the AccuVote-TS R6 in post election mode.  
  Select Accumulator.  Error message pops up (as it should) "failed to 
  write to printer".  I believe this is due to trying to do the "texas log" 
  of the accumulation.  Click cancel.  Error message pops up "printer 
  aborted due to error".  'Course we know that, we pressed cancel after all 
  (grumble).  The only option is okay.  Pressing okay invokes a 
  "clank" sound, and does nothing.  Hitting okay a few more times give more 
  clanks.  Eventually it looks like something times out (or the OK is 
  otherwise recognized) and the results accumulator screen comes up.  At 
  that point if you select edit, it exits the ballot station and puts you back 
  at the desktop.
