3 A transparent rail at the front edge
of the feeder unit allows paper to be
inserted more easily.
4 The feeder icons attached to the
vertical rail at the back of the feeder unit
are visible at wheelchair height.
5 In a busy office even the high-
capacity paper trays of many Konica
Minolta machines need frequent refilling.
But most conventional paper cassettes
have handles that can only be accessed
from the bottom upwards – a clear
disadvantage, not just for people in a
wheelchair. KonicaMinolta’s Universal Design
Concept introduces paper cassettes that
can be accessed from the top downwards.
Brighter prospects for the
visually impaired
Reading the display of a conventional
office machine can be a real problem for
the visually impaired. Konica Minolta’s
Universal Design Concept, in contrast,
has
introduced a number of features
designed to meet their specific needs.
“An ergonomically designed machine that everyone can use helps with the integration of
disabled people. This Konica Minolta machine has a number of useful features such as the
tiltable panel, large paper trays, robust feeder and fax function.”
Klaus Pöhler, engineer
6 The operating display, for example,
can be enlarged up to 16 times the
original size and visually impaired users
can scroll through the panel like a PC.
7 The contrast in the display can be
easily regulated to accommodate impaired
vision or difficult lighting conditions, e.g.
strong sunshine or dark corners.
