> Misof (i.e. the newly fused Museum Alexander Koenig, Bonn, and the Museum

> Vogel.

>
> The English version of the declaration is attached, it calls political
> leaders 30 years after the before the 1992 Rio Convention on Biodiversity
> for ambitious action to comabt biodiversity loss. This declaration comes
> shortly before the CBD-preparatory meeting in Nairobi in June, and before
> the G7 summit in Germany end of June. Apparently, as a result of the
> CBD-preparatory in Geneva in March, key CBD countries wish to water down
> the indicators for the monitoring of biodiversity, with the IUCN Red List
> being currently considered as only 'scientific' indicators.

> It would surely be good if this declaration would broad support not only

> It has been a total disaster and we all feel like we wasted a few thousand
> dollars. Details are as follows:
>
> 1. Connecting it to a device was harder than it should have been (our
> in-house IT could not do it without Honeywell customer service help).
> 2. It prints very faintly. We have it turned up to maximum density and
> it is just barely at the darkness our old Datamax was on a regular setting
> (and we have been informed by Honeywell that printing at darkest setting
> with cause it to die out faster?)
> 3. It doesn?t seem to recognize the media we already had (supposedly
> ?standard? and can fit any thermal printer). This results in us having to
> open and shut the print head before every label, just to trick it into
> recognizing there is media present. It also ejects/feeds about 4-5 labels
> worth of media after each label.
> 4. There is no built-in cutter to cut your labels for you (not sure if
> that is just a model issue or none of these Honeywell ones have it; the
> company seemed confused by this concept)
> 5. We use FileMaker as our specimen database and our presets on labels
> there print ok, but the ones in Excel do not (and we basically have to do
> weird re-formatting things in Excel every time we create a new label)
>
> We have tried a new printhead, thinking it would fix the faintness issue
> (#2), but it did not. We also requested the ?official? Honeywell media
> sample thinking maybe it would start to recognize it (perhaps fixing
> multiple issues in #3). They have not sent the media yet (requested over a
> month ago), so I assume we will have to eventually break down and just buy
> it ourselves, hoping it fixes the problem. See attached specs from the
> company.

> In the meantime, as an example, I just spent ~1 hr last week printing 10
