Introduction

ATS determines Minimum Supportable Standards as well as Recommended Models. We also have a list of Optional Accessories.

For Printer Recommendations, see our ATS Printer Recommendations page.

Adhering to these Standards prevents the following issues:

  • No Encryption due to lack of TPM Chip
    • Encryption is required by the State
  • Long lead time to prepare non-standard computer

 

Recommended Models

These are the models we recommend for each use listed in the left column. There will duplicate recommendations due to overlapping needs. The specifications are linked within the table.
