[blindlaw] Accessible Multifunctioning printers

[Jim McCarthy]

Tai,
I see how communicating with your multifunction office machine by use of an
android tablet increases its accessibility to you. I am having a hard time
following how this assures the statement you make, "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," a true statement. Someone could still do a print
job it seems and you not know whether it was your job or another. What am I
missing?
Jim

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
