Basic - Braille embosser for continuous tractor-fed paper
An
optimized design and effective production reduces the price and size of a high speed
double sided Braille embosser by 60%. The combination of low price, high speed (340 PPH), high quality, ease of use and small size, makes Basic the best
choice for homes, schools, the work-place and Braille production centers that prefer to
use continuous tractor fed paper. The Basic is controlled by an ink and Braille
labeled
front panel. Combined with the speech feedback it is easy to install and operate for blind
and sighted users alike. |
| Continuous tractor-fed paper The tractor
feed system in combination with the double sided printout, effective copy function, good
durability and high speed print, makes the Basic the obvious choice for Braille production
centers of all sizes. The paper fed system benefits from the ability to print a complete
box of paper continuously and without interruption.
Braille quality
Equally
formed dots that will last for a long time even if thin ”copy paper” is used.
The design of the forming process reduces the risk of holes and cracked dots. A cracked
dot will have a limited life time. The capability of producing Braille on thinner paper is
an important step in reducing costs, and is also environmentally beneficial.
Double sided Braille
The double sided function not only reduces the quantity of paper by 50%, but also costs
and amount of work involved when binding, mailing, storing and handling. With Basic-D you
can combine double sided printout and graphics. It will automatically format the page so
that the graphics do not interfere with the text.
Speech guided user interface
Blind and sighted users are guided equally by speech feedback, together with the ink
and Braille labeled front panel. The speech is available in a number of languages.
A 2400 pages/day copy machine
The copy function, in combination with the tractor feed system, and a 400 page text
buffer makes Basic-D an effective Braille copy machine, producing up to 2400 pages during
an 8 hour working day.
