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

Agreed. The vendor included the software program for my laptop for no
additional fee when negotiating the sale of the machine. It is an easy
decision If you can find a similarly-priced option that includes built-in
accessibility.

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.
