What is Section 508?
In 1998, Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act was amended, requiring
federal agencies to purchase or make available electronic and information
technology that is accessible to people with disabilities.
Océ has demonstrated a commitment to developing solutions that support
the Section 508 Technical Standards and allow all users to participate
in digital document management and printing tasks. Supporting features
are described in Voluntary Product Accessibility
Templates (VPATs) for each model.
New Océ equipment includes a host of features and accessories that make
it easy for users to take advantage of our broad range of devices and applications.
The Océ VarioPrint for Office models include "Touch to Speech" technology
that generates voice prompts and confirmation messages when the control
panel keys are pressed. Watch
the video.
The "Touch to Print" feature allows users to access their digital mailbox,
select the sent print jobs, print them and delete them from the mailbox
with just one finger via biometric authentication or the numeric keypad.
Our current office models include the following accessibility features.

Voice Guidance/Operation Kits
With an optional Voice Operation Kit you can control Canon imageRUNNER®
devices by means of voice recognition technology. The kit features a speaker
and a flexible microphone that allows users to input commands and perform
certain device operations using their voice. Like the Voice Operation Kit,
Canon's Voice Guidance Kit* features a software-driven speaker attached
to the side of the device. Through simplified tactile input, users can navigate
the user interface and receive audible confirmation when operating the machine.
The voice type, volume, and speed are adjustable based on the user's preference.

User-friendly Control Panel Design
Canon imageRUNNER devices feature a consistent, user-friendly interface
that's designed to quickly guide users through all device functions. Concave
Numeric Keys, #5 Key Indicator, and optional Braille Label Kits (transparent
labels that affix to the hard keys) provide visually impaired users with
improved access and the ability to input information.
Certain models offer control panels that can tilt or pan for better viewing
angles as well as allow for easy input and visibility for users requiring
access via wheelchairs. The number of buttons on the user interface touch-screen
can be reduced in order to make the remaining ones larger, thereby making
them easier to see and locate quickly.

Access Within Reach
Users who operate devices from a seated position often experience difficulty
reaching a fully raised document feeder. The optional ADF Access Handle
has been designed to enable a person in a wheelchair to easily close the
feeder from the upright position. Canon has also improved access to paper
and toner supply areas. On certain models, user can open the paper drawers
with the touch of a button and easily slide the paper guides, enabling the
device to automatically detect the paper size. Toner doors open instinctively
during the toner replacement process. Additionally, toner bottles are designed
to be lighter and easy to replace, so most users can do it with one hand.

Reversed Display for Control Panel
Certain Canon imageRUNNER models provide an adjustable user interface that
allows the default display to be reversed in a manner that presents lighter
characters on a darker background. This provides better clarity and contrast
for users with visual impairment. |

Remote User Interface
The Remote User Interface (UI) enables users to check device status, view
toner levels, paper levels, and perform Mail Box operations from a Web browser.
This utility can be used with third-party screen magnification and screen-reading
software, making it convenient for users with visual impairment and blindness,
as well as individuals using wheelchairs. |

Remote Operator's Software Kit
The optional Remote Operator's Software Kit provides alternative access
for users with mobility or dexterity impairments. This software emulates
the imageRUNNER control panel and hard keys on a computer screen, thereby
allowing users to operate all system functions-including copy, print, fax,
scan, and send-from a network-connected computer. |
