Display and Installation

If you want to read the computer screen on the Braille display, you need to install and run a screen reader,
such as JAWS for Windows. For the braille display, the screen reader needs a driver. For some screen
readers and their versions, the driver has to be installed separately. The Braille display can possibly be
selected during screen reader installation.
The installation of the Braille display will be split into two parts. In the first part, the USB-driver will be
installed, so that Windows can recognise the Braille display as a connected device. In the second part, the
Braille display in the screen reader will be selected.
The installation of the Braille display will be performed with the operating system wizard, e.g. Microsoft

Windows 7.

USB driver installation

Connect the BRAILLEX ELc to the USB port of your PC. This can certainly also be done when the system is
running. For the installation of the USB driver, administration rights are required. Additionally, you need to
access the drive which contains the drivers.
In case a prior model of the BRAILLEX EL series has already been connected to the PC via USB, the same
connection will now be used. The installation of a new USB driver will not be required.
If you have received a driver CD or any other installation media with your BRAILLEX ELc device, please put
it into the drive.

Windows XP

The operating system indicates that a new hardware with the name "BRAILLEX II USB Device" has been
found. In a dialogue box, you will be asked to enter the source for the suitable driver. As a default, Windows
searches for the suitable driver on CD ROM so that you can press enter to confirm the dialogue box.
Windows 7
The USB driver installation will not make a distinction between 32 and 64 bit systems.
As soon as the Braille display is connected to Windows 7 running under local administration rights and an
internet connection is established, Windows 7 will download and install the signed driver independently.
If no internet connection is available or Windows upgrade cannot be performed, the installation has to be
executed manually.
The delivery package contains signed drivers for Freedom Scientific JAWS and Dolphin Supernova.

Installation

In case the installation will not start automatically from the storage device, please run the programme „brxel-
setup-544b.exe". The following pictures show the Windows XP installation.
