3.4 Eight Dot Mode

You can choose to use a 6-dot-Braille or 8-dot-Braille display when

using ASCII text mode. The shortcut key is “e (dots 1-5)”. By default the

8-dot-Braille display is set to off. You can switch this option to 8-dot-

Braille mode by pressing the “Space” key. You can toggle this option on

or off by pressing “F1-down scroll button” while you are using another

program in the Braille Sense OnHand, without having to pull up the

“Global options”. If you have changed the setting, press the “Enter” to

save the setting. You can also “tab (“Space-4-5”)” or “shift-tab (“Space-

1-2”)” to the “Confirm” button, and press “Enter”. If you do not want to

save the setting, “tab (“Space-4-5”)” or “shift-tab (“Space-1-2”)” to the

“Cancel” button, and then press “Enter”. You can also cancel saving

the setting by pressing “Space-z (dots 1-3-5-6)” or “Space-e (dots 1-5)”.

3.5 View/input the Grade of Braille

You can choose what grade of Braille you want the Braille display to use

when reading. The shortcut key is “g (dots 1-2-4-5)”. The setting choices

are grade 1, grade 2, and ASCII. You can switch between the settings

by pressing the “space” key. You can press “space-g (dots 1-2-4-5)” to

cycle through the three settings while you are using other programs

without calling up the “Global options”. If you have changed the setting,

press the “enter” key to save the setting. You can also “tab (“space-4-

5”)” or “shift-tab (“space-1-2”)” to the “confirm” button, and press “enter”.

If you do not want to save the setting, “tab (“space-4-5”)” or “shift-tab

(“space-1-2”)” to the “cancel” button, and then press “enter”. You can

also cancel saving the setting by pressing “space-z (dots 1-3-5-6)” or

“space-e (dots 1-5)”.
