[blindlaw] Urgent, Using MultiFunction Photo Copiers, With Touch Screen Interface For Scanning Large Volumes of Material

Mon Mar 11 21:21:31 UTC 2013

I understand where you are coming from. My employer purchased the add-on for other users and I used it on rare occasions to make copies. Were I to purchase a system, I would not want to pay extra for additional software to make it accessible.

Hi William,

I think we may have other makes of copier, in some parts of the office.

To be honest, Xerox's offering seems an extrordinarily bad deal (though I accept that TY's experience may have been different).

First you've got to pay a substantial sum for the programme to make it accessible. Now I accept assistive technology isn't always free but I hardly see the point of paying extra for one product, when another maker has gone to the trouble of accessible design - that would allmost create a perverse insentive.
2. I'm not sure from the blurb that Xerox's software allows me to scan and that is essentially what I want to do.
