- Messages can be set according to user familiarity level, which indicates how familiar they are with using and maintaining the device
- Messages can also be set for individual users if they have a USB drive, or if the device has a hard drive
Traditionally, printers and MFPs have only displayed the status of the device on the operator panel. For a user with a visual impairment, these messages may be difficult or impossible to read. These messages typically display information related to low toner levels, missing paper trays and other conditions that require a user or administrator to intervene.
With the Lexmark Accessibility Speech solution, the device will play a recorded audio file related to that same condition. The user simply presses and 0 keys in sequence, and then hears the audio message via the on-board speaker. Default messages have been created by Lexmark, and can be fully customized for each user if desired.
