Adding JAWS Support to the Focus Display
JAWS 13.0.1006 and later automatically installs the files necessary to use the
Focus Blue during the JAWS installation. Make sure JAWS 13.0.1006 or later is
installed and running before attempting to establish a USB or Bluetooth
connection with the Focus 14 Blue.
If you choose to use the Focus display with a third-party screen reading
application, you must install the driver from the Companion CD before
connecting it to your computer.
Note:
Disconnect the Focus display from your computer when performing the
following steps. Having the display connected during this process
results in improper installation and failure of the display to operate
properly.
1.
Insert the Focus Blue Companion CD. When the Freedom Scientific
Focus Setup dialog box opens, choose Install Windows driver. You will
hear a series of clicks as the driver is installed.
2.
When the installation completes, choose the OK button to restart your
computer.
Once installed, refer to the documentation that came with the software for
information on configuring and using the Focus with the particular application
as certain commands may be different.
Configuring the USB Connection
To configure the Focus Blue braille display to operate with JAWS over USB, do
the following:
1.
Establish a USB connection between the Focus and computer using
the supplied USB cable.
2.
Windows will detect the display and install the appropriate drivers.
