Braille Entry Mode and Braille Tracking
When the brailler is in
Braille Entry mode and Braille Tracking is on, the brailler records your
keystrokes as you braille. It also displays a visual representation of a
portion of the current braille line. You can enter any combination of the
six braille keys to braille characters, or use the space bar to enter a
space. The SMART Brailler™ also tracks the Carriage position if you
manually move the Carriage, use the backspace key, or use the line
spacing (or advance) key.
Any time the paper is moved using the Paper Feed Knobs, Braille
Tracking is automatically turned off. When Braille Tracking is off, the
Smart Module ignores any input from the brailler keyboard, Carriage
movement, Easy-Erase Button, or Paper Feed Knobs.
Before toggling Braille Tracking back on, make sure that you move the
Carriage to the line and cell that you were on before Braille Tracking
was turned off. Alternately, you can just move the Carriage to the last
line you brailled, turn Braille Tracking on, press the line spacing key,
and move the Carriage all the way to the left to start a new line. To turn
Braille Tracking back on, press the Select Button.
Braille Tracking may turn off when you remove paper from the brailler
and insert a new piece of paper. (See the
section of this manual for instructions.) After loading the
new piece of paper, press the Select Button to reenter Braille Entry
mode and turn Braille Tracking on.
