[nabs-l] BrailleNote Apex

[Kaiti Shelton]

Helga,

I would really just ask the DS office personelle if you can use a
printer somewhere.  Often the people in the student computer labs
don't know what BrailleNotes are and therefore don't understand that
just printing off of them is not a big deal.  You can also just ask
ther person what kind of printer is there and check to see if it is on
the list of accessible printers I posted earlier.

As Ryan said, the Ink Jets and some Desk Jets are made for business
people who travel and might not have access to printers without them,
but I'd be weary of carrying it around all day in a backpack for it to
get bumped or broken in some way.  I would really try to find a
printer that will hook up to your BrailleNote via USB, Bluetooth, or
Infrared connection so you don't have to deal with carrying a printer
around.
