Accessibility
WHAT WE LIKED
• The control panel is at a neutral tilted angle and is accessible to wheelchair
bound users. The tilt also helps to minimize glare from overhead lighting giv-
ing greater visibility to disabled users.
• The touch screen is very large, easy to navigate, and is very user-friendly.
The contrast slide on the touch screen enables users to adjust the bright-
ness to their own comfort level.
• The touchable parts are within reach and are colour-coded green. All colour
toners, black toners and the duplex area are easily accessible and located
at the front of the device, reachable by those with physical disabilities.
• Concave buttons are used on the numeric keypad and the number 5 button
has a raised feel which accommodates the visually impaired and is wheel-
chair accessible.
• Replacing staples and hole punch refills is easy and is performed at eye
level of a person in a wheelchair. After opening the finisher, the staple cas-
sette can be pulled out and refilled.
WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE
• The paper drawers would be easier to open if they could be pulled from both
the top and the bottom. Currently the drawers must be grasped from below
making it more difficult for disabled users. A handle on the top will allow
disabled users to reach more drawers.
• Although the two top drawers were accessible, the bottom drawer was far
from ideal. Changing paper also required reaching far inside the drawer to
release the locking lever.
