The DS200 combines ES&S patented IMR and PTRAC 
technologies to accurately distinguish between valid 
and extraneous marks, perforations, smudges and 
folds, reducing the number of ballots requiring time-
consuming manual adjudication.
Having both battery backup and thermal paper means 
you never have to worry about power outages or printer 
ink. The DS200 includes optional redundant data storage.
Like all ES&S tabulation equipment, the DS200 includes 
physical security features such as locking panels and 
security seals to secure sensitive components and 
election files as well as a key-locked case for transport 
and shipping. The DS200 operating system controls, 
limits and detects unauthorized access to all critical 
data. The system also includes safeguards, such as 
data encryption and digital signatures, that help 
protect sensitive data and verify authenticity, including 
certification of all firmware.
