Introduction

BRAILLEX EL 80s is the best selling of Papenmeier's world-renowned Efficiency

Line Braille desktop displays. It combines state-of-the-art access technology with

a particularly comfortable user interface. The highlight of the unit is the patented

Easy Access Bar.

This document will describe the installation and use of the device.

The Easy Access Bar integrated in the font of BRAILLEX EL 80s allows fast and

easy navigation across the screen.

You can push the Easy Access Bar in all four directions, in two steps each. When

you sit in front of the device and read the Braille display, your thumbs are

naturally located in front of the Easy Access Bar.

You push the bar with your thumb. When you release it after a movement, it will

jump back to the initial position. The profiled front of the bar gives your thumb

enough grip to activate these keys. You feel a light resistance and hear a click

when you have activated a key. Its function is generally executed only after you

have released the Easy Access Bar. Only the keys with repeat function make

exception.

In every direction you can access two functions. After you release it, the Easy

Access Bar returns to its home position. In its home position it has no function.

Jaws for Windows obviously allows more functions than the 8 described above.

Therefore, Papenmeier added two keys to the left and to the right of the Braille

display. You will learn below that using the keys, you can also alter the

assignment of the Easy Access Bar. You then get a selection dialog that modifies

the meaning of the Easy Access Bar until you change it again.

BRAILLEX EL 80s complies with the requirements of the European Union Medical

Devices Directive, as an active class I medical product intended to be used

for the purpose of compensation for a handicap.

This product may only be used in home or office environments. In medical

facilities, this product may only be used in office rooms.
