Comment :  In this requirement, it is indicated that only physical security measures be present for evidence of tampering with the printer, however, there should also be logical detection that the printer connection has been compromised and an audit log entry made of that event.

Proposed change:  Add to the end of the requirement the following:  "If the connection between the voting system and the printer has been broken, then logically detect the break in that connection and cause an audit log entry to be made of that event."
