The purpose of the Voluntary Product Accessibility Template, or VPAT™, is to assist Federal contracting officials and other buyers in making preliminary assessments regarding the availability of commercial “Electronic and Information Technology” products and services with features that support accessibility. It is assumed and recommended that offerers will provide additional contact information to facilitate more detailed inquiries.

The first table of the Template provides a summary view of the Section 508 Standards. The subsequent tables provide more detailed views of each subsection. There are three columns in each table. Column one of the Summary Table describes the subsections of subparts B and C of the Standards. The second column describes the supporting features of the product or refers you to the corresponding detailed table, e.g., “equivalent facilitation." The third column contains any additional remarks and explanations regarding the product. In the subsequent tables, the first column contains the lettered paragraphs of the subsections. The second column describes the supporting features of the product with regard to that paragraph. The third column contains any additional remarks and explanations regarding the product.

VPAT™

Voluntary Product Accessibility Template®

Criteria		Supporting Features

(a) When software is designed to run on a system that has

a keyboard, product functions shall be executable from a Supports keyboard where the function itself or the result of

performing a function can be discerned textually.

Remarks and explanations

Regarding Sharp imaging (one of the functions of Sharpdesk® document management software), some mouse commands do not have a corresponding keyboard command. (ex. range specification of image data).

All buttons and links can be focused using keyboard in PRINTER DRIVER/ Printer Status Monitor.

(b) Applications shall not disrupt or disable activated
features of other products that are identified as
accessibility features, where those features are developed
and documented according to industry standards.
Applications also shall not disrupt or disable activated		Supports
features of any operating system that are identified as
accessibility features where the application programming
interface for those accessibility features has been
documented by the manufacturer of the operating system
and is available to the product developer.
(c) A well-defined on-screen indication of the current focus
shall be provided that moves among interactive interface		Supports with
elements as the input focus changes. The focus shall be
		Limitations
programmatically exposed so that Assistive Technology
can track focus and focus changes.

Criteria
		Supporting Features

Sharpdesk software runs on Microsoft™ OS and utilities.

PRINTER DRIVER/Printer Status Monitor are not designed to disrupt or disable other functions by design.

If the focus changes, the target will change in some ways. Ex. the frame color will change if a thumbnail is focused. The text will be bold if focused.

If the focus changes, the target will change in some ways. Ex. the frame line will change if an icon button is focused.

Remarks and explanations

(d) Sufficient information about a user interface element including the identity, operation and state of the element shall be available to Assistive Technology. When an image represents a program element, the information conveyed by the image must also be available in text.

Supports with Limitations

When Sharpdesk software displays image data, text describing the image is also displayed (ex. thumbnails are labeled with the name of each file in Desktop).

The information conveyed by the image can be available in text in Printer Driver.

The information conveyed by icon of printer condition can be available in Printer Driver. But, the information conveyed by mimic image of MFP cannot be available in text in Printer Status Monitor.

(e) When bitmap images are used to identify controls,
status indicators, or other programmatic elements, the		Supports
meaning assigned to those images shall be consistent
throughout an application's performance.
(f) Textual information shall be provided through operating
system functions for displaying text. The minimum		Supports
information that shall be made available is text content,
text input caret location, and text attributes.

Criteria		Supporting Features
(g) Applications shall not override user selected contrast		Supports
and color selections and other individual display attributes.
(h) When animation is displayed, the information shall be
displayable in at least one non-animated presentation		Supports
mode at the option of the user.

contrast settings, a variety of color selections capable of		Supports
producing a range of contrast levels shall be provided.
(k) Software shall not use flashing or blinking text, objects,
or other elements having a flash or blink frequency greater		Supports
than 2 Hz and lower than 55 Hz.
(l) When electronic forms are used, the form shall allow
people using Assistive Technology to access the
information, field elements, and functionality required for		Supports
completion and submission of the form, including all
directions and cues.

If an icon, an indicator and an element have the same image, each of them has the same meaning in Sharpdesk software.

When an icon, an indicator and an element have the same image, each of them has the same meaning in PRINTER DRIVER/ Printer Status Monitor.

Sharpdesk software displays text contents using functions of the OS.

PRINTER DRIVER/ Printer Status Monitor displays text contents using functions of the OS.
