Böwe Bell + Howell strives to make its products accessible to all people, including those with visual and auditory impairments. Böwe Bell + Howell has taken significant steps to enhance the accessibility of the Spectrum XF scanner and to meet the standards of Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.
The Spectrum XF scanner has been – more... thoroughly tested and evaluated against Section 508 standards, including testing by persons who are blind or have visual impairments.
To assure compliance with Section 508, Böwe Bell + Howell has implemented the Audible Tone Assistance feature to provide both visual and auditory access to the scanner's status and settings. This feature allows the operator interface (OI) to communicate through a series of beeps to convey meaning (in addition to its visual display) allowing users with visual impairments to operate the scanner audibly.
Product documentation has been extended to cover these features, and the electronic version of the Operator Manual has been evaluated for and by persons with visual impairments. Specific documentation extensions include:
The creation of a quick reference guide in Braille and large print to instruct visually impaired users how to use the Audible Tone Assistance feature with the Operator Interface
The revision of the operator manual PDF in tagged format so that it is compatible with screen reading and magnification software
Additionally, all models contain moving parts that require less than six pounds of force to use and adjust and the custom table moves up/down for wheelchair access.
Böwe Bell + Howell also strives to provide the highest level of support for all of our product users, including those with auditory impairments. As such, users with auditory impairments can contact Bowe Bell + Howell Scanners, L.L.C. technical support via a TTY line at (847)423-3032. – less – More from ZoomInfo »
