No, it is definitely "walk-up" Yes, that's it...where did they come up with it? The opposite would probably be "a sit-down functionality"...
Craft.Content Jun 23, 2004:
Can you confirm the spelling. It could be 'wake-up'. Usually, devices that hog resources, including electricity, are "put to sleep" when they are not functional for a pre-specified period of time. The circuitry initiates a "wake-up" after receiving a sig.
Non-ProZ.com Jun 22, 2004:
Standalone? Could that be it? No need to turn on the PC in order to copy?
Non-ProZ.com Jun 22, 2004:
No problem... "Full range of advanced features including walk-up, precision colour copying plus optional networking across up to five PCs"
Cilian O'Tuama Jun 22, 2004:
