This year, thanks to an increase in the annual appropriation from the Legislature, there was $1,000,000 available for JCAP awards. We also combined requests for similar types of equipment and were able to use the buying power of the Unified Court System to get some great deals on equipment such as multi-function fax machines, digital audio recorders, etc. which will be shipped directly to the grant recipients. http://www.nycourts.gov/ea/XML/jcap.htmhttp://www.nycourts.gov/ea/index_016JCAP grants applicatrions in final reviewTue, 12 Sep 2006 09:08:00 ESTThe 2006 JCAP grants are being finalized. We hope to have checks out soon. This year, we used the buying power of the Unified Court System to make some very good deals for the Justice Courts. For example, most people who requested fax machines will probably be getting an "All-In-One" machine. It works just like a conventional fax, with a big input tray for scanning documents with multiple pages. It also features a 110 page memory so if the toner runs out, the machine stores 110 incoming pages in memory and prints them once you change the toner. (By the way, we will also be sending an extra toner with each machine.) The All-In-One unit is also a medium-speed photocopier as well as a high speed LASER computer printer. You can also scan black and white AND color documents with it. More to come...http://www.nycourts.gov/ea/XML/jcap.htmhttp://www.nycourts.gov/ea/index_012Judge BiosMon, 07 Aug 2006 14:58:37 EST
