Perkins SMART Brailler™ User Manual | Rev: 041814
USB Port
The USB Port is located at the bottom right side of the
Smart Module. Using this port, you can save or copy files to a USB
flash drive, or connect the brailler to a printer with a USB cable to print
text documents from the internal memory of the brailler.
Once a file is on a USB drive you can plug the USB into a device to
save it on the device or e-mail it.
Keys
There are nine keys across the front of the SMART Brailler™.
The spacebar is in the middle. To the left of the spacebar you will find
the keys for dots 1, 2, and 3, then the line spacing or advance key at
the far left. To the right of the spacebar you will find the keys for dots 4,
5, and 6, then the backspace key at the far right. Each time the keys
for dots 1–6 are released, the Carriage advances one cell to the right.
Paper Feed Knobs
These flat “wing” knobs project out from the left
and right side of the brailler. They are used to roll or “feed” the paper
into and out of the machine.
To move the paper back, roll the knobs toward you. A click occurs
each time the paper moves back a line. It is important to know that any
time the paper is moved with the Paper Feed Knobs, Braille Tracking is
automatically turned off. To turn it back on, press the Select Button.
(See the
Inserting and Removing Braille Paper
information.)
Paper Release Levers

of the brailler on the top, near the back. If you move one lever, forward
