To toggle between the two modes, go to Settings > Braille > Presentation > Jump. If the checkbox is
checked, the default Jump mode is set. Uncheck the box by scrolling to the right with the Navistick, or by
pressing any cursor routing button. The process is the same to check the box again.
10.2.1.3 Show Messages without Word Wrap.
This option is fairly self-explanatory. When selected from the menus, it presents a single line with a
checkbox. If the box is checked, messages will be displayed with word wrap on. Uncheck the box and
words may be split at the end of a line. Note that this mostly affects the VarioUltra 20 because most
messages fit on a single line of the VarioUltra 40 display.
10.2.2 Cursor.
The Cursor option contains settings relating to the appearance of the cursor in Edit Mode and Reading
Mode. The types of cursor styles include dot 7, dots 7 and 8, or any other shape you choose. Finally, the
cursor you choose can be static, inverted, or flashing at a user adjustable blink rate.
Reading Mode
Reading Mode applies whenever a write-protected file is opened. To change cursor settings for this
mode, select menu item Settings > Braille > Cursor > Reading Mode. The default cursor style is a flashing
braille dot 8.
Edit Mode
Edit Mode applies whenever you open or create a document that is not write-protected, and inside any
edit box. To change cursor settings for this mode, select menu item Settings > Braille > Cursor > Edit
Mode. The default cursor style is braille dots 7 and 8.
To define your own cursor shape, enter the digits of the braille dots in the edit box that you would
like to use. For example, entering 123456 would result in a cursor that displays as braille dots 1
through 6. If you specify an incorrect or a missing entry, the cursor shape will default to blank,
which means it will not be visible.
An inverted cursor reverses the usual display, which means braille dots that would usually be
displayed are retracted, and those that would otherwise be retracted are shown. For example, if
you were to specify all 8 dots as the cursor and then moved to a braille cell with the letter b
(B2B3) present, B2 and B3 would not be used (retracted) and only B1B4B5B6B7B8 would be
visible.
For the flashing cursor option, select the appropriate check box. When the box is checked, an edit
box appears in the dialog along with a flash rate, in milliseconds, that you can specify. Enter a
value between 200 and 2000 to establish the flash speed, which refers to the interval between
flashes.
10.2.3 Default Braille Codes.
Use this entry to switch between the various Braille Codes related to the language you are using. The
option Computer braille is related to the selected Braille table. Once selected, menu items, dialogs, and
system messages are then presented with the chosen braille code. Note that this setting is not related to
the Set Braille Tables option for reading or writing in the word processor.
Here are the instructions for changing the braille codes:
1. Select main menu item Settings > Braille > Default Braille Codes to open the dialog.
2. Uncheck the check box "Master Switch Computer Braille".
3. Select the desired entries in the lists.
4. In the list "language" you can select the language of the braille code.
5. In the list "reading default" you can select the braille code to be used for the braille presentation of
menus, dialogs, and system messages.
6. In the list "writing default" you can select the braille code to be used when typing text into edit
boxes.
7. With the check box "Display Text of Text Boxes in Reading Braille Code", you can set the option
so that the desired reading braille code is also used for the presentation of the entries of edit
boxes and info fields.
