Blazer's speaker.
The Inside of the Blazer
To lift up the Blazer's lid, simply find the front side of the
machine and run your hands along the indentation for the
cover. Gently lift and pull back the cover to expose the inside of
the Blazer where you can load the paper and adjust the
machine to Braille graphics. The cover should stay upright and
rest comfortably along the top backside of the Blazer while we
check out the inside.
Starting from the front side of the Blazer, the side closest to you
first, notice the bar that runs across the width of the Blazer from
left to right. This is the platen. It rests on a flat metal plate and
is about an inch in from the front side of the Blazer.
Now run your hand along the platen all the way to the right and
find a small rubber-coated knob along the back of the platen.
This knob is used for adjusting the platen to Braille graphics.
Right now, it's set so the Blazer can Braille a standard
document. We'll check out how to adjust the platen for Brailling
graphics later.
About an inch behind the platen is the tractor mechanism that
holds the paper in place.
