switch. If the key lock switch put on center, Braille Sense OnHand will

say “top panel locked”. In this case, only you can use the buttons and

switches in the front panel (audio mode switch, audio buttons and on/off

switch). If the key lock switch put on right, Braille Sense OnHand will say

“unlocked”. In this case, you can use the all keys (Braille keyboard,

audio buttons, scroll buttons, function keys, audio mode switch and

on/off switch).

But, you can use the reset button, regardless of location of key lock

switch.

2.12 Print Spool

The Braille Sense OnHand has a print spool function. This function

enables the Braille Sense OnHand to do other tasks while printing to an

ink-printer or Braille embosser. For example, if you send data to your

printer or embosser, you will be immediately returned to where you were

before the print command was executed. If you want to check the print

spool dialog box after you have given the print command, press “Space-

2-3-4-6”. Then, you will see the dialog box which has three controls.

The first control is a list that gives you information about files that are

being printed. There is also a “Cancel” button and a “Close” button.

You can cycle through the three controls by pressing “tab (“Space-4-5”)”

or “shift-tab (“Space-1-2”)”. In the information list, you can move item

by item by pressing “Space-4” or “Space-1”. However, if you open up

the dialog box without printing anything, you will see “no items” and the

“Close” button.

While printing, the information list will contain the following: “running

program name”, “printing file name”, “printer type”, “the number of

copies”, and either “printing” or “ready”. For example, let’s assume that

we are printing one copy of “sample.hbl” in the word processor. In the

info list, you will see “program: word processor, file: sample.hbl, printer,

copy: 1, printing”. If you are using a Braille embosser, you will see

“embosser” instead of “printer”. If there is not anything printing and,

(the printer is waiting), you will see “ready” instead of “printing”. If you
