Getting Started
Physical Description
The housing
Measuring 569 x 277 x 22 mm (22.4" x 10.9" x 0.87") and weighing only 2.440
kg (5.4 lbs.), BRAILLEX EL 80s is one of the smallest, flattest and lightest 80 cell
Braille desktop units on the world market.
Front panel
In the rounded front you will find the integrated Easy Access Bar. The bar has a
rubber profile.
Back panel
If you face it, on the left side you have the communication ports and the power
supply jack. From left to right, there is a USB connector, a 9-pin female serial
connector and a power supply jack. If connected to a USB port, BRAILLEX EL 80s
does not need an external power supply; this one is only required if you connect
the device through the serial port.
Top
The Braille display is placed along the front line. It almost occupies the whole
width of the device.
On either side of the Braille display, you will find a key. The keys have two
positions each: you can press them towards the front side (for one function),
and towards the rear side, for another one.
Installation
USB Connection
You connect the BRAILLEX EL device with the PC with the supplied USB cable.
After a short while, a box will pop up: "Found new hardware, Braillex II USB".
After a couple of seconds, the Found New Hardware Wizard dialog starts. Hit
Enter to activate the Next button.
In the next box, check "Search for a suitable driver for my device
(recommended)" and hit Enter to activate the Next button.
