"camera-ready original"

[Elizabeth J Allen]

Although it may seem archaic, lots of folks still prep documents this  
way. Most recently, the camera has been replaced by the scanner. I  
always include a hard-copy of my document with the electronic  
version--how else are they going to know if the electronic version  
gets corrupt?

Just send a good clean copy with the electronic files--you'll be fine.
