Konica Minolta Wheelchair Mobility Aid User Manual


 
Benefits for finger-handicapped users
Most machines are not designed to meet
the specific needs of users with
impairments to their fingers, hands or
dexterity. The latest Konica Minolta machines
are an exception. The keys of the operating
panel have been specifically designed for
those with limited dexterity.
9 Their concave shape ensures that any
operating instrument such as a pen does not
slip off.
10 Another useful feature is the document
feeders large handle, which enables users to
lift the lid up easily, for example just with
their fist.

Up to now, most office equipment has come
in the ubiquitous pale-grey colour. Konica
Minolta’s Universal Design Concept has
broken with this “tradition” to introduce a
darker-coloured design. Use is made of high-
quality recycled plastics that take on a
darker colour when reprocessed. This not
only has clearenvironmental benefits but
also helps visually impaired users.
8 The darker-coloured panel and
output trays make it easier to identify
if a fax has arrived or a print job is
already in the output tray.
