Universal Design
Professional success in today’s workplace requires that technology be
easily accessed by everyone, including those with disabilities. That’s why
Canon has taken the lead in developing new solutions that help simplify
the use of office products for all, regardless of ability.
For more than 30 years, Canon has been addressing accessibility needs
for people with disabilities and the senior workforce. The company’s latest
solutions were built on this foundation, so that everyone could benefit
from Canon technology and all it offers.

Voice Guidance/Operation Kits
With Canon’s Voice Operation Kit you can control Canon imageRUNNER®
devices and input commands with your voice. The kit features a speaker–
with headphone jack option for privacy–and a flexible microphone. Like the
Voice Operation Kit, Canon’s Voice Guidance Kit features a software-driven
speaker attached to the side of the device. This enables users to control
the device by means of speech.
Through simplified tactile input, users can receive audio confirmation when
operating the machine. The voice type, volume, and speed are adjustable
based on the user’s preference.
Reversed Display for Control Panel
The user-friendly control panel provides an adjustable reversed display
for users with visual impairment. The text and background of the display
can be reversed from the standard to white text on a black background.
The adjustable display contrast provides additional clarity for users
with visual impairment.
Remote User Interface
The Remote User Interface (UI) enables users to view settings including
device status, toner levels, paper levels, and operate copy functions from
their PC screens This utility can be used with magnification and screenreading software, making it convenient for users with visual impairment,
blindness, or those using wheelchairs.
Remote Operator’s Software Kit
The Remote Operator’s Software Kit provides alternative access for people
operating imageRUNNER devices. Users can operate system functions from
a laptop or desktop personal computer using this software, which emulates
the imageRUNNER control panel. All control panel functions, including copy,
print, fax, scan, and send, are available from the touch-screen, including
access to the hard keys. The Remote Operator’s Software Kit was designed
to assist persons with mobility or dexterity impairments.
User-friendly Control Panel Design
Access Within Reach
Canon imageRUNNER devices feature a consistent, user-friendly interface
that’s designed to quickly guide users through all device functions. Concave
Numeric Keys, #5 Key Indicator, and optional Braille Label Kits (transparent labels that affix to the hard keys) provide visually impaired users with
improved access and the ability to input information.
Certain models offer control panels that can tilt or pan for better viewing
angles as well as allow for easy input and visibility for users requiring
access via wheelchairs.
The number of buttons on the user interface touch-screen can be reduced
in order to make the remaining ones larger, thereby making them easier
to see and locate quickly.
Users who operate devices from a seated position often experience difficulty
reaching a fully raised document feeder. The optional ADF Access Handle
has been designed to enable a person in a wheelchair to easily close the
feeder from the upright position.
Canon has also improved access to paper and toner supply areas. On certain
models, user can open the paper drawers with the touch of a button and
easily slide the paper guides, enabling the device to automatically detect
the paper size. Toner doors open instinctively during the toner replacement
process. Additionally, toner bottles are designed to be lighter and easy to
replace, so most users can do it with one hand.

Section 508 Compliance
Canon works hard to ensure that its products meet the standards of
Section 508.
Effective June 25, 2001, Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act mandates that
Electronic and Information Technology (E&IT) products and services developed,
procured, maintained, or used by the Federal Government allow Federal employees and members of the public with disabilities to have access to, and
use of, Federal information data that’s comparable to the access and use
available to non-disabled Federal employees and members of the public.
