[blindlaw] Accessible Multifunctioning printers

[Tai Tomasi]

Hello. I was the presenter at NABL that mentioned this printer. I also sent a message to the list about it. The model I am using is the Samsung M4580 smart printer which is controlled by an Android tablet that has speech capabilities. My office is renting this printer for $20 a month. I am not sure what it retails for. It can print, scan and copy but does not have a fax machine. My office used the Samsung X7400 for a time and this printer also had an Android tablet for controls. The X7400 has fax capabilities. It would be worthwhile to investigate which models in the Samsung line use Android tablets. I haven't begun to delve into the advanced features of these machines. It has been very helpful to have a unit of my own for making copies, scanning, and printing documents. It has the added bonus that my documents are always kept separate from those of others, so I am better able to identify and label which document is which by printing each and labeling it as I go. In the past, I had to hope there wasn't a stack of papers at the main printer everyone shared. Of course, I just had a reader identify them, but this new machine has somewhat decreased my reliance on a reader. I say that with the caveat that no machine can replace a human reader. Until OCR systems can recognize handwriting, human readers will be indispensable.

Hello All!

Hope this message finds you well!  It was mentioned during the National Association of Blind Lawyers meeting that a message was sent awhile ago to this mailing list related to Accessible printers through Samson I believe it was related to using a tablet to make them accessible.  I can't seem to find that message and was wondering if someone could send me the information related to that printer message?
 It sounded very interesting and I wanted to look at it.

Thanks,

Justin Young
