Glossary Term :  Electronic Ballot Printer (EBP)
Definition :  
Comment :  Device that prints Voter Verified Paper Ballots with selected vote choices for tabulation by a separate Ballot Scanner.

Explanation: Describing an EBP as "DRE-like" is highly misleading. The main contrast among electronic voting machines is between DREs and EBPs. The word "fully" is awkward and superfluous.
