Perkins SMART Brailler™ User Manual | Rev: 041814
press down firmly on the Easy-Erase Button several times to eliminate
all of the dots in the cell. The first time you press the Easy-Erase
button, the brailler tells you what it is erasing. When finished erasing,
space once so that the Embossing Head is over the correct cell to
braille a new character.
To erase manually, move the Carriage so the Embossing Head is one
or two spaces to the right of the character. The plate under the
Embossing Head provides a hard surface for manually erasing the dot.
The Smart Module will not keep track of changes made this way.
Another option is to finish brailling the page, manually erase any
unwanted dots; then, reinsert the page and work through it, adding
necessary dots in the order you find the errors. The Smart Module will
not keep track of changes made this way.
The two methods above are preferred to correct errors because
repeatedly rolling the paper back and forth can cause it to creep, or
move out of alignment. Any additional characters you braille would
then be higher or lower than those already on the line, making
correcting mistakes difficult. The more you roll the paper back and
forth, the more noticeable the creeping becomes. The amount of
creeping also depends on the thickness and stiffness of the paper you
are using. If you roll a sheet of paper out of the brailler, and reinsert it
using the method discussed above, text should be aligned within five
thousandths of an inch, which is fine for most practical purposes.
