Criteria
Supporting Features Remarks and explanations
(a) At least one mode of operation and information
retrieval that does not require user vision shall be
provided, or support for Assistive Technology used
by people who are blind or visually impaired shall be
provided.
Limited Support
Current Technology provides no
equivalent to touch-screen display
panels. However, note the following:
[For Operation Panel]
(1) Major keys can be recognized not only with vision
but also with others.
(2) Light touch on keys does not activate input. All
keys activate input by force 25g-250g.
(3) When input is determined or invalid, operation
status is confirmed by a beeping sound.
(4) When similar shape of operation parts is aligned in
a row, standard operation portion is read by something
such as vision and touch.
(5) Frequently used keys are aligned to be recognized
easily, and different shapes and colors are used so as
to be distinguished easier.
[For Paper Setting]
(6) The tray operation can be recognized by touch, and
enables end-users to open and close tray and set
paper with one hand.
(7) When it closes, the user can grasp it using sense of
touch or hearing.
[For Draft setting on Platen]
(8) Setting documents on the Platen can be done even
without relying on visibility because there is a notch
located on a center of guide scale.
