5.5.4 Select 6 or 8 dot Computer Braille.
When you are typing in Computer Braille, this setting determines how you will input dots 7 and 8 if
they are required. If you select 6 dot Braille, you must press SPACE with U before typing any
character that requires a dot 7. For example, in US Computer Braille, “at” sign used in e-mail
addresses is written with dots 4-7. If you have chosen 6 dot entry, press SPACE with U, then dot 4,
to write this symbol.
If you choose 8 dot Computer Braille, the BACKSPACE key becomes dot 7, and ENTER becomes
dot 8. So in the “at” sign example, you would press BACKSPACE with dot 4 to write the symbol.
To have the BACKSPACE and ENTER keys perform their usual functions, simply press SPACE at
the same time. So to perform an ENTER, press ENTER with SPACE. The BACKSPACE and
ENTER keys only act in this way when you are working in Computer Braille.
To select 6 dot Braille, press F. For 8 dot, press H.
