Using the Braille display with Jaws for Windows

Function Keys

BRAILLEX EL 80s offers 80 Braille cells for reading the screen. You can move this
reading window across the screen with the Easy Access Bar. With the
routing keys integrated into the Braille cells you move the mouse pointer to
any desired place on the screen.
You control the Braille display either with the Easy Access Bar alone, or with the
keys.

Braille Functions

Moving the Braille display (Reading Window)

For navigating across the screen, you just use the Easy Access Bar.
Push the Easy Access Bar one step up to move the display up one line. Push the
Easy Access Bar one step down to move the display down one line. You
maintain the column position of your Braille display when you push the Easy
Access Bar up or down.
The Easy Access Bar positions one step left and one step right have the meaning
"Read backward" and "Read forward".
• Push the Easy Access Bar one step left to move the reading window 80
columns to the left.
• Push the Easy Access Bar one step right to move the reading window 80
columns to the right.
Using the "Read forward" function, you continuously read the screen, i.e. once
the display has finished reading the the screen line, it will go to the next line if
you continue pushing the Easy Access Bar.

Working Modes

When navigating in the active window, you can choose between three different
working modes, which influence the assignment of the Easy Access Bar:
Navigation Mode
In the Navigation Mode, you just read across the screen when using the
navigation keys as described above; the cursor is NOT moved. This also
means that you can explore parts of the screen where the cursor can't go.
PC Mode
The PC mode is the opposite: Instead of moving the display across the
screen when pushing the Easy Access Bar, you move the cursor. Please note
that as long as the active cursor moves the Braille display, this obviously also
influences the Braille display position.
Combined Mode
The so-called Combined Mode is a mix of the two modes described above. It
is useful especially when it comes to reading long text documents. Whenever
you press a reading key and a line border is crossed, the PC cursor is moved
to the new line as well. This means that you can read a text without having
to bother about screen pages.
