[nfb-talk] [Reader-users] Reading display on my HP printer

Dear Gina,

I just pressed my Reader against the glass on the vending machine and cocked 
it at about 45 degrees in front of the item I was trying to identify.
Sometimes I got it and sometimes I did not.  I think it had allot to do with 
the font style, but it did read the item number and price without much 
trouble.
I am glad that there are other people around to tell me most of the time.
I once used it to read the menu board in a Subway shop and it did a good 
job.
I have also used it to read my computer screen when JAWS stopped talking to 
find out what the problem was.

David Evans, NFBF and GD Jack.
