Accessibility
In the United States, Section 508 legislation prohibits
government agencies from purchasing devices that are not
accessible to those with physical impairments. For this
reason—and the corporate world’s increased focus on
delivering a better work environment for all—user-friendly
features for physically impaired users are more common.
Common design features include tilting control panels, which give wheelchair-
bound users a better view of the screen, and larger display options for those
with impaired vision.
Voice navigation and Braille also are becoming increasingly popular. Easy
access to the paper path for jam removal or front access to toner supplies can
make a device more user friendly to all.
User Accessibility to Device Controls
The Oc
é
Arizona 350 GT print control can be located anywhere around the
printer and is placed on a pedestal that requires operations from a standing
position. However the monitor, mouse, and keyboard can be put on a different
table that better suits operators in a seated position. Although most of the
console application has layout that could work via a touch screen, Oc
é
supplies only a regular monitor with mouse and keyboard.
User Accessibility for Printed Media
The Océ Arizona 350 GT printer media can be easily accessed from around
the printer for most operators, but a person in a wheelchair will have a harder
time reaching into the middle of the flatbed printer for picking up media
located in the center.
User Accessibility for Media Refilling
The Océ Arizona 350 GT optional paper rolls can easily be replaced from a
seated position. The media rolls are accessed at the front of the machine.
User Accessibility for Media Jam Removal
Since the Oc
é
Arizona 350 GT printer is an open flatbed printer, we can’t see
how media jam can occur unless the print heads crash with rigid media. Even
in that case we think the automatic print head abortion feature will be
sufficient to recover the media in most cases.
User Accessibility for Routine Maintenance
The ink containers are housed in the back of the printer; the print heads and
waste ink container are housed on the left side; and the coolant container is
on the right side. It is fairly easy to access them even from a seated position.
WHAT WE LIKED
•
It is easy to access all critical and
important parts for operating the
machine even from a seated position,
although it may be more difficult to
access media placed in the middle of
the flatbed printer.
WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE
We have no recommendations at this
time.
