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.

Accessible
Solutions
Voice Guidance/Operation Kits
With an optional Voice Operation Kit you can control Canon imageRUNNER*
devices by means of voice recognition technology. The kit features a
speaker and a flexible microphone that allows users to input commands and
perform certain device operations using their voice.
Like the Voice Operation Kit, Canon’s Voice Guidance Kit* features a softwaredriven speaker attached to the side of the device. Through simplified tactile
input, users can navigate the user interface and receive audible confirmation
when operating the machine. The voice type, volume, and speed are
adjustable based on the user’s preference.
Reversed Display for Control Panel
Certain Canon imageRUNNER models provide an adjustable user interface
that allows the default display to be reversed in a manner that presents
lighter characters on a darker background. This provides better clarity and
contrast for users with visual impairment.
Remote User Interface
The Remote User Interface (UI) enables users to check device status, view
toner levels, paper levels, and perform Mail Box operations from a Web
browser. This utility can be used with third-party screen magnification and
screen-reading software, making it convenient for users with visual
impairment and blindness, as well as individuals using wheelchairs.
Remote Operator’s Software Kit
The optional Remote Operator’s Software Kit provides alternative access for
users with mobility or dexterity impairments. This software emulates the
imageRUNNER control panel and hard keys on a computer screen, thereby
allowing users to operate all system functions–including copy, print, fax,
scan, and send–from a network-connected computer.
*Available as an option for certain imageRUNNER models. Check with your local Canon Authorized Dealer for more details.
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, users 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.
