CHAPTER 9 USING VOICE CARRY OVER (VCO) What is VCO? VCO stands for “Voice Carry Over.” Ultratec developed this technology to allow you to use your own voice during a conversation. You speak using a telephone and read responses using your Superprint Pro80 LVD. VCO calls can be made directly between two TTY users or placed through your Relay service. WHAT IS REQUIRED? You will need: ✔ Superprint Pro80 LVD connected to a telephone (see “Connecting Power & Phone Line” on page 9).
VCO INFORMATION This section contains answers to frequently asked questions about VCO. How does the Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS) relay my VCO call? Every state in the U.S. has a TRS which links TTY users with those who do not have TTYs. With the TRS, VCO calls are made with the help of an operator called a Communications Assistant (CA). You can speak directly to the person you are calling. That person speaks his or her reply which the CA types for you to read on your TTY.
HOW TO PLACE A VOICE CARRY OVER (VCO) CALL Using the Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS) If the following is true, use these instructions: The person I am calling does not have a TTY. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Press Relay to dial the TRS number (to program this button, see “Programming the Relay Phone Number” on page 28). Wait for the Communication Assistant (CA) to answer. Then, type the message, “VCO PLS GA” on the keyboard. Pick up the telephone handset.

CHAPTER 10 PERSONALIZING GENERAL OPTIONS There are several features programmed by the Options button. The Options button lets you customize certain features of the Superprint Pro80 LVD to your preferences. There are several features listed in this menu. Directions for customizing them are given in this chapter. THE OPTIONS BUTTON Code TTYs communicate with each other using a “language” which is called a “code.
5. Press Enter when the date and time are correct, or press Options menu without making any changes. Esc to exit the Turbo Code® For this option, it is recommended that you leave the setting as TURBO CODE < ON>. This allows the Superprint Pro80 LVD to use Turbo Code when it connects to another TTY that has this capability. Remember that when the Code option is set to CODE , the Superprint Pro80 LVD will automatically select the best code to use for each call.
Auto ID™ Leave Auto ID on all the time. If you choose to turn Auto ID off, the Superprint Pro80 LVD will not automatically alert people that you are using a TTY. Without Auto ID, you will need to type in order to send TTY tones or use the Voice The Auto ID feature alerts a hearing person that you are calling from a TTY. It automatically sends a series of audible tones over the telephone line every few seconds. This helps people like 911 operators quickly recognize a TTY call.
1. Press Options . CODE < AUTOMATIC> is displayed. What items are programmed by the Printer button? All of the settings that affect how your printouts look are programmed with the Printer button. You have choices about the size of the font and the way conversations are printed.

Press to scroll through the options until PRINT CASE is displayed. 3. Press the Spacebar to change the setting. 4.
CHAPTER 11 USING CODES COMMUNICATION CODES TTYs communicate with each other using a kind of “language” which is called a “communication protocol” or “code.” The Superprint Pro80 LVD uses three different communication codes: Turbo Code®, Baudot and ASCII (optional). The Superprint Pro80 LVD automatically decides which code to use while communicating with other TTYs. It can tell what codes the other TTY uses and selects the most appropriate code.
Selecting Turbo Lock To make sure that you are using Turbo Code with a call, you may “lock” your unit in Turbo Code by selecting Turbo Lock: 1. Press Options . CODE < AUTOMATIC> is displayed. 2. Press the Spacebar to change the option to . Then, press Enter . TURBO LOCK is displayed. 3. Press the Spacebar to change the option to . Then, press Enter . ** TURBO LOCK ON ** is displayed. 4. Press Esc to exit the Options menu. BAUDOT CODE 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Press Options .
5. 6. For each option, you can press the to change the setting. Then, press Enter to save it. The next option will be displayed. Press Esc to exit the ASCII Options at any time. ASCII Options ASCII (ORIGINATE/ANSWER) Determines which machine is calling and which one is answering. This usually happens automatically. However, if you are manually setting up ASCII, select ORIGINATE if you are going to be the person placing the call and select ANSWER if you are going to be receiving ASCII calls.
TROUBLESHOOTING ASCII CALLS If you do not receive a clear message during an ASCII call, try: • Changing the parity setting to correct garbled strings of text. • Changing the duplex setting to correct no characters or double characters appearing when you type. • Changing the baud rate (110 or 300). • Changing the ASCII (ORIGINATE/ANSWER) setting. If the code option is set to automatic and your Superprint Pro80 LVD loses the ASCII connection, NO ASCII CONNECTION is displayed and Baudot is used.
CHAPTER 12 CARE & REPAIR Ordinary care of your Superprint Pro80 LVD includes replacing the printer paper and replacing the batteries. If you have any other problems, you may be able to solve them by reading the Troubleshooting section of this manual. Besides the printer paper and batteries, the Superprint Pro80 LVD has no other userserviceable parts. Any repair work should be done by a qualified service person.
CAUTION! ✔ Use only the type and size battery specified in the instructions for your unit. NEVER USE NiMH OR ALKALINE RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES. ✔ Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire. Cells may explode. Check local codes for possible special disposal instructions. ✔ Do not open or mutilate the batteries. Battery electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes or skin.

To type these characters (such as in an email address) make sure your call is connected in Turbo Code (see “About Turbo Code” on page 59). Printer Problems The printer does not work.

QUICK REFERENCE CONVERSATION ETIQUETTE Below are some procedures, shortcuts and abbreviations that are commonly used in TTY conversations. GA “go ahead.” When you are done typing, type “GA” (or press GA ) to let the other person know you are done and that they can start typing. GA OR SK “go ahead or stop keying” When you are ready to end the conversation, “GA OR SK” lets the other person know you are finished but that they can add any last words before ending the conversation.
