Adding Jaws Support To The Focus Display; Configuring The Usb Connection - Freedom Focus 40 Blue User Manual

Adding JAWS Support to the Focus Display

If you are using the Focus Blue with JAWS 10 or earlier, you will need to
first install the driver included on the Companion CD that came with your
display before connecting it to your computer.
Note: Disconnect the Focus display from your computer when
performing the following steps. Having the display connected
during this process results in improper installation and failure of
the display to operate properly.
1. Insert the Focus Blue Companion CD. When the Freedom
Scientific Focus Setup dialog box opens, choose Install Windows
driver. You will hear a series of clicks as the driver is installed.
2. When the installation completes, choose the OK button to restart
your computer.
JAWS 11 and later automatically installs the files necessary to use the
Focus Blue during the JAWS installation. Make sure JAWS 11 or later is
installed and running before attempting to establish a USB or Bluetooth
connection with the Focus 40 Blue.
Note: If you choose to use the Focus display with a third-party screen
reading application, you must install the driver from the
Companion CD. However, once installed, refer to the
documentation that came with the software for information on
configuring and using the Focus with the particular application as
certain commands may be different.

Configuring the USB Connection

To configure the Focus Blue braille display to operate with JAWS over
USB, do the following:
1. Establish a USB connection between the Focus and computer
using the supplied USB cable.
