User's Manual BRAILLEX Trio
Revision: Jan 06
All technical data, information about and properties of the product described in
this manual were compiled to our best knowledge and correspond to the facts at
the date of publication.
Modifications and improvements of the product can be introduced at any time.

Introduction
Introduction
BRAILLEX Trio is a real multi-talent. It unites the most modern communications
technology with highest ergonomic features in a light, portable Braille note
taking device.
BRAILLEX Trio stands for three highlights:
a 40-cell Braille display with the proven Efficiency Line (EL) and
SingleChannel technologies
a Braille keyboard for external devices (PCs, off-the-shelf PDAs or mobile
phones with appropriate screen readers)
a basic notetaker. The internal functions of BRAILLEX Trio include an editor, a
calculator, clock and calendar — and, obviously, the data exchange with
other devices.
The newly developed seamless SingleChannel Braille display stands for highest
reading comfort: Your fingers slide like on paper on the slightly concave display
that is perfectly adapted to the shape of your fingertips.
The ergonomic Braille keyboard is ideally positioned around the Braille display.
The space bars and special function keys are located in front of the display, the
Braille keys behind. The distance between the Braille keyboard and the display is
only 3.5 cm (1.38").
Obviously, BRAILLEX Trio, like all Papenmeier EL displays, is equipped with the
patented Easy Access Bar, a long single lever (like a space bar) situated on the
front side of the device, all along the Braille display.
You use the joystick-like Easy Access Bar with the thumb of the reading hand. It
lets you navigate around the screen without you ever taking your hand off the
Braille display. You can go back and forth, up and down - or tab through a dialog
box, if you switch it to interactive mode.
Traditionally, Braille displays have a number of function keys, on the front panel,
or left and right of the display. In any case, you usually have to take your hands
off the display when you navigate around the screen or interact with the
computer. With the Easy Access Bar, you can execute the commands from any
place on the Braille display. This means less hand movement, more comfort,
higher speed, and more efficiency.
With BRAILLEX Trio, you stay connected. Via its USB port, you communicate with
a PC or notebook. Thanks to its Bluetooth® interface, BRAILLEX Trio is
independent from any connection cables. Within a range of 10 meters (33 ft),
BRAILLEX Trio talks to other Bluetooth devices.
This document will describe the installation and use of the device, alone and with
the different possible peripheral devices.

Physical Description
Getting Started
Physical Description
BRAILLEX Trio has a 40-character Braille display with a seamless surface. The
Braille display is placed along the front line. It almost occupies the whole width
of the device. Behind each of the characters, you will find a routing key. To the
left and the right of the display, there are two keys on each side, one behind the
other one. We will call them the left and right front and rear keys.
Behind the Braille display, you find the ergonomic 8 key Braille keyboard. The
space keys are located in front of the Braille display. When you have your hands
on the keyboard, your thumbs will automatically be located above the two space
keys. Of the four keys in the space key row, the space keys are the two inner
ones. The two external ones will be called the left and right thumb key. The
thumb keys are used for special functions.
In the rounded front you will find the integrated Easy Access Bar. The bar has a
rubber profile.
The
only
visible connection of the device is on the left side of BRAILLEX Trio.
On the left side you find, starting from the front,
The on-off switch
The USB port
On the right side of the back panel (device turned to you in working position),
you will find the battery compartment.

Getting Started
Initial Operation
The device may only be put into operation if no damages of the device itself or of
the connection cables can be discerned.
Connection with the PC
You connect BRAILLEX Trio with a PC either via the USB port or via a Bluetooth
connection.
USB Connection
You can use the USB connection under the operating systems Windows 2000 or
Windows XP. Plug the flat end of the supplied USB cable into a free USB port of
the PC. The square connector goes into the plug on the left side of BRAILLEX
Trio.
Power supply
If BRAILLEX Trio is not connected to a USB port, it is battery powered. For
battery operation, you need 4 AA type cells. Papenmeier suggests rechargeable
NiMH batteries. Four of those come with the device.
If connected to a USB port of a computer, BRAILLEX Trio may be powered
through the USB port, in case it provides enough power. If this is not the case,
BRAILLEX Trio takes the power from the internal batteries. As BRAILLEX Trio's
battery autonomy is pretty high, higher than that of most notebook PCs, you can
also generally use the internal batteries when using the USB connection (this is
by the way the default setting when you get the device).
In Bluetooth operation, BRAILLEX Trio is powered by the internal batteries.
Switching On and Off BRAILLEX Trio
You power on BRAILLEX Trio with the on-off switch on the left side of the device.
A short beep indicates that the device has been switched on. An LED next to the
on-off switch is lit while the device is on.
If you have batteries inside the device, BRAILLEX Trio will typically come back in
the status you left it in when you last switched it off, i.e. the last used
application will automatically coma back.
Special case: If you use the device without internal batteries, you also switch it
on by connecting it to a PC via the USB port. In this case, BRAILLEX Trio will
automatically activate the "external" mode, i.e. keyboard and display function to
an external device.
You switch off BRAILLEX Trio by pressing the on-off switch for more than a
second. You will see the message "switch off trio?". If you keep the on-off switch
pressed then, the message "off" will appear. The LED goes out and a double
beep can be heard when the device is switched off. For a short while, you will
also see the message "off" in Braille, then the Braille will fade away. If you
release the on-off switch after you get the first message, you can continue
working.
5
Initial Operation
Sleep Time
BRAILLEX Trio will automatically switch off after a period of inactivity defined in
the device settings. When you first get the device, this period is 10 minutes. In
order to reactivate the device, press the on-off switch.
Battery Handling
BRAILLEX Trio comes with a set of four rechargeable AA type NiMH batteries.
Please make sure that before you start using the device, you first charge the
batteries.
With freshly recharged batteries, BRAILLEX Trio has an operation time of ca. 20
hours; in Bluetooth operation, you have 10 hours autonomy. Please note that
even if the device is switched off, it will use a minimal amount of energy. So if
you know that you will not use BRAILLEX Trio for a longer period, we suggest
that you take the batteries out. All data will be safe then, the only thing to do
after you put the batteries in will be to set date and time again, as the internal
clock does not have a separate battery buffer.
A number of factors will influence the battery autonomy. A very important one is
the Bluetooth module inside the device that drains an important amount of
energy. By default, this Bluetooth module is active when you first switch on
BRAILLEX Trio. If you do not use it, it makes sense to disable it in order to save
energy. This is how you proceed:
From the BRAILLEX Trio Control Center, select "settings", "bluetooth
settings", "bluetooth on/off" and chose "bluetooth off". Confirm with Enter
(Space + dot 8, or simply dot 8) or push the Easy Access Bar 2 steps down.
Recharging the Batteries
You have two possibilities to recharge BRAILLEX Trio's batteries:
If you use NiMH batteries (one set of those is provided with the units), you
can recharge them inside the unit connecting the provided charger with the
USB port of the device;
You can also take the batteries out and recharge them in a separate charger.
Recharging the Batteries Inside the Unit
If you want to recharge BRAILLEX Trio's batteries inside the unit, use the
provided charger. It is marked with the word "trio" in Braille, it connects to the
power outlet via a 3 conductor detachable cord, and to the BRAILLEX Trio via
USB cord. For recharging the batteries, please keep in mind a number of rules:
You have to use the external USB charger. It is not possible to charge the
batteries while BRAILLEX Trio is connected to a computer via its USB port —
the USB specifications do not allow draining sufficient energy to both run the
device and charge the batteries. BRAILLEX Trio is able to detect a computer
connected to it and will abort the recharging operation with an error
message.
You must have the right battery type inside the unit. Please make sure not to
try and charge Alcaline batteries! Trio will most likely detect those and abort
the charging with an error message, but it might be safer not to try. We
strongly suggest the use of NiMH batteries.
Caution: If there are no batteries inside the unit when you UNPLUG the
charger, you may lose BRAILLEX Trio's memory!
It is not sufficient to plug in the charger; you must also activate the charge.
Select "tools" from the Control Center, then "battery recharge", and "battery
6
Getting Started
recharge active". Only then the recharging process will be started, unless any
error is detected and the process stopped.
While the batteries are being recharged, you may continue working, either
via Bluetooth, or using the notetaking functions of the device.
The complete recharging process will last approximately 8 hours, so it might
be a good idea to do it overnight.
You may check the progress of the charging process: Select "info" from the
Control Center, then "power". Sighted people can also see that the charging
process is active, as the LED blinks while the batteries are being recharged.
Once the charging is completed, you will find the message "batteries full".
Like many intelligent chargers, BRAILLEX Trio will NOT try and recharge
batteries that are completely drained, because it will consider them defective.
If your batteries are completely flat, use an inexpensive external charger to
charge them at least a little bit.
Recharging the Batteries Outside the Unit
You can easily exchange the BRAILLEX Trio batteries. Please keep in mind,
though, that the device will have energy for only about approximately 1/2
minute without the batteries. If you have them out for longer than this period,
you will have to reset date and time in the device.
For exchanging the batteries, please proceed as follows:
You find the battery compartment on the backside of the device, on the right
side when you have the device in working position. On the upper edge of the
compartment, you will find an easily discernable dot.
The cover of the compartment has a tactile surface. In order to open it, push
the cover towards the bottom of the device. The cover can be completely
removed.
The battery compartment contains four batteries, two
in a row at a time. The tactile dot at the upper edge
of the compartment indicates the direction (polarity)
in which the batteries have to be inserted. The
positive pole of the battery also has a tangible rise in
the center, whereas the negative pole is flat. The
(outer) compartment that is marked with the dot
above will get the 2 batteries with the positive pole
showing towards the outside, the other 2 ones go in the other way round.
Please make sure that the battery polarity is correct. Never introduce the
batteries the wrong way round!
Once you have inserted the batteries, you can put the lid back on.
You use the provided external battery charger to recharge the batteries.
Papenmeier strongly recommends the use of rechargeable NiMH batteries. The
recharging time depends on the type of batteries. New batteries should be
charged for 14 hours prior to being used.
Checking the Battery Charge
You can check the battery charge in the Braille display: In the control center,
press "i" for "info" and then "p" for "power". You will get the battery charge in
percent.
If the battery level goes below 10% of the capacity, you will get a warning:
"battery capacity less than 10%".

Installation
Installation
Installing the Screen Reader
If you want to read the computer screen on the Braille display, you need to
install and run a screen reader package. This should be done before you install
any further software for BRAILLEX Trio.
USB Connection
You connect the BRAILLEX EL device with the PC with the supplied USB cable.
After a short while, a box will pop up: "Found new hardware, Braillex II USB".
After a couple of seconds, the Found New Hardware Wizard dialog starts. Hit
Enter to activate the Next button.
In the next box, check "Search for a suitable driver for my device
(recommended)" and hit Enter to activate the Next button.
In the next box, you can specify the search locations to reduce the searching
time. Check " Floppy disk drives" if you have the driver on a floppy disk, or "CD
ROM drives" if you have it on s CD-ROM. Hit Enter to activate the Next button.
Finally, confirm that you want to install the "BRAILLEX.INF" driver that Windows
found on the media you specified and hit Enter to activate the Next button.
8
Getting Started
The next box confirms that you have installed a "Papenmeier Braillex II USB
device". Hit Enter to activate the Finish button.
Uninstalling the USB Driver
You can easily uninstall the software for the USB driver of BRAILLEX Trio via the
uninstall routine of the Windows operating system: Open the Start menu, select
Settings / Control Center / Add/Remove Programs and you will find an entry
"Papenmeier BRAILLEX II USB Device" in the list of installed software. You can
remove it like any other software package.
Installing a Bluetooth Connection
BRAILLEX Trio behaves like any other Bluetooth device. When you initiate a
search for Bluetooth devices, the Bluetooth adapter will automatically recognize
BRAILLEX Trio. The connection with the PC occurs via a serial Bluetooth
connection. Once the connection is installed, you have to install the Papenmeier
BRXCom software to be able to use the connection (see below).
Preparing BRAILLEX Trio
In order to proceed to the Bluetooth pairing, you need to know the so-called
Bluetooth pin. By default, BRAILLEX Trio's pin is "0000", but you may change it.
If you want to verify (or modify) the Bluetooth pin stored in the device, go to the
Control Center and select "settings", "bluetooth settings", and then "bluetooth
pin". You can now see the current pin. You may overwrite it with a string of (up
to 16) digits. Remember the new pin, as you will need it for the pairing
procedure.
Another step to identify your BRAILLEX Trio is the Bluetooth name. Unlike the
pin described above, this is just a means to help you identify your BRAILLEX Trio
on the PC side (and maybe distinguish it from other BRAILLEX Trios). Unlike the
pin, you may change this name at any time without interfering with the
Bluetooth connection itself. By default, the Bluetooth name is "braillex trio".
Selecting "settings", "bluetooth settings", and then "bluetooth name" from the
BRAILLEX Trio Control Center, you may add up to 14 characters to this name
that help identifying your device from others during the pairing procedure.
Preparing the PC
The Bluetooth device in or connected to the PC must be activated. It should be
set to be able to recognize external devices. The configuration of the Bluetooth
adapter depends on the producer of the device, therefore we can only give some
generic hints for the preparation of the Bluetooth connection on the PC side.
The Bluetooth adapter of your PC offers the communication via a so-called
pairwise connection. For this purpose, a serial Bluetooth connection is
9
Installation
established with BRAILLEX Trio, using the seach assistant of the Bluetooth
software installed on the PC. You need to have administrator privileges to be
able to install such a connection.
Switch on your BRAILLEX Trio and place it close to your computer (max.
distance: 10 meters / 30 feet).
Activate the search for Bluetooth devices in the neighborhood of your PC
Bluetooth adapter.
Select the device named "BRAILLEX Trio" (and eventually, any name addition
you might have set, see above).
When Initialising the pairwise connection, enter BRAILLEX Trio's pin number
(see above).
The serial connection is established and a serial port number is assigned for
incoming and outgoing connections. You need to remember the port number
for outgoing connections for the installation of the BRXCom communications
program (see next chapter).
Installing BRAILLEX Trio Screen Reader Drivers and the Communications
Program
Besides the USB driver (or the serial Bluetooth connection), BRAILLEX Trio
requires some more software to be able to communicate with the computer. The
programs include special drivers for the screen reader programs, a program for
the data transfer back and forth, and a viewer program able to visualize the
Braille display contents.
IMPORTANT: System Requirements
Once again: The Trio driver suite is based on the so-called service concept, and
therefore requires a Windows operating system Windows 2000, Windows XP or
Windows Vista. A solution for Win98SE with reduced functionality will be
available as well, but the following will refer to Windows 2000, Windows XP or
Windows Vista.
Installer
From the Trio CD, run Trio_Setup_EN.EXE. This will start an InstallShield wizard
that will help you doing the installation.
After the start screen, press Alt-N for "Next".
10
Getting Started
Confirm that you accept the End User License Agreement by hitting Enter for
"Yes".
The install program will then suggest a destination folder for the program suite,
i.e. C:\Program Files\Papenmeier\BrxCom. Press Alt-R for "Browse" if you want
to change the folder, or press Alt-N for "Next" to maintain it and continue.
In the next step, you will be asked to specify a communications port for
connecting BRAILLEX Trio with the PC. This port will be used for all
communications purposes, i.e. for the screen reader and the keyboard
functionality as well as for the file transfer in both directions and the viewer.
You have the choice between the USB port and a Bluetooth connection. Select
the port you want to use with the arrow keys and press Alt-N for "Next".
11
Installation
In case you selected the Bluetooth port, another screen will come up that lets
you define the virtual COM port that is going to be used:
The selection of the serial port must be the same as the outgoing serial port you
found out during the Bluetooth pairing installation (see above). Valid ports are
COM1 to COM99. As a selection via a radio button would be too tedious, we
preferred using an edit field so select that port. Enter a number between 1 and
99 and press Alt-N for "Next".
In the next window, you will be asked whether you want to install the Trio
keyboard driver. Installing this driver is necessary if you want to use BRAILLEX
Trio as a Braille keyboard of your PC.
The default setting of the check box is "checked". Press Alt-N for "Next" if you
want to install the keyboard driver. Press the space bar and then Alt-N for "Next"
if you do not want to install the keyboard driver.
12
Getting Started
If you choose to install the keyboard driver, you then have to select the
localization settings. Select the required keyboard layout and Braille table
combination Press Alt-N for "Next" to continue.
The program will then check for the installed screen reader program(s). If you
have Jaws installed, a new window will come up asking you whether you want to
install BrxCom for Jaws. Use the arrow keys to select whether you want to install
the driver for Jaws or not.
If you have more that one version of Jaws installed on your computer, you will
be asked whether you want to install the driver for all valid Jaws versions, i.e.
the versions from 6.0 and above (see below).
If you select "no" with the arrow key and press Alt-N for "Next", a new window
will appear letting you select the Jaws versions you want to adapt:
Jaws users will notice that only versions from 6.0 on will appear in the above
Window. The BRAILLEX Trio software installation program will install a 2nd
13
Installation
generation Jaws driver that is NOT compatible with Jaws versions prior to 6.0. If
you wish or need to use an elder version of the screen reader program, the same
applies as for Windows versions below the Win2000 level: You then have
restricted possibilities, i.e. you can then only use BRAILLEX Trio as a display (no
PC keyboard function and no file transfer).
Press Alt-N for "Next" to continue.
If you have Dolphin HAL or Supernova installed, a new window will come up
asking you whether you want to install BrxCom for Dolphin. By default, the
answer "yes" is checked.
In the special case you use a Dolphin Pen, you will be asked whether you want
to install it on the pen drive, in a separate window. This means the pen drive
must be connected to your computer during the installation if you want to install
it there. It also must have the copy protection removed.
The setup program now has all user definable settings and will present those in a
new window. If you are satisfied with the settings, press Alt-N for "Next" to
continue. If not, you can go back with Alt-B for "Back".
If you had chosen to install the Trio keyboard driver, you now will get a warning.
The Trio keyboard driver (here called FHP filtered keyboard) does not have a
Microsoft digital signature, and this generates an error message. Ignore this
message and press Alt-Y for "Yes" to continue, otherwise the keyboard driver will
NOT be installed.
14
Getting Started
InstallShield will inform you about the successful installation of BrxCom. In order
to complete the installation (and activate the keyboard driver), you have to
reboot the system.
Once you have finished the installation, you will find two icons on your desktop,
the Braillex File manager and the Braillex Viewer:
Furthermore, you will find a couple of new items in your start menu: Under
Programs / Braillex, besides the already mentioned Braillex File manager and the
Braillex Viewer, you will find "BRXCom Configuration" and "Uninstall BRXCom".
Modifications of the Installation Settings
Two of the settings described above might be subject to frequent changes, so we
condensed them in a separate configuration program. From the start menu,
under Programs / Braillex, you find the item "BRXCom Configuration". This works
in a similar way as the general setup program, but is limited to two parameters:
the communication port and the Braille table for the external Braille keyboard.
15
Installation
The first option regards the communications port. As in the setup program, you
chose between the USB and the Bluetooth port, and in the latter case, you are
also asked to specify the virtual serial port.
The Braille table selection offers less options than the setup program, as in this
case, you do not select a combination of Braille table and PC keyboard (regional)
settings, but only the Braille table. This means that if your default settings are
US keyboard and US Braille, you can here change to French Braille (if you want
to write in French), the PC keyboard still being the US key layout.
If you wish to make any further changes to the settings you had chosen above,
run Trio_Setup_EN.EXE again. The install shield will offer 3 options: "Modify"
(Alt-m), "Repair" (Alt-e), and "Remove" (Alt-r). Select "Modify" with Alt-m, and
you will have the same dialogs you had above, allowing you to change your
settings.
16
Getting Started
Safety Advice
Please read the information in this manual carefully, so you will be
able to avoid problems.
Use BRAILLEX Trio in a dry environment only. Even if the device is
not powered up, it must not get wet.
Never place any heavy objects on the Braille display.
Service and Maintenance
Avoid touching the device with dirty hands. You may clean the surface of the
device (NOT the Braille cells) with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use any aggressive
detergent or soap.
In case of any defect of the Braille display unit, please contact an authorized
Papenmeier service center. If you are in doubt about the service center
responsible for your area, please contact Papenmeier:

BRAILLEX Trio's Standalone Functions
BRAILLEX Trio's Standalone Functions
Braille Keyboard Functions
BRAILLEX Trio has a Braille keyboard that can be used both for internal (note
taking) and external (terminal) functions. It has 8 Braille keys and 4 keys that
are activated with the thumb.
Especially in terminal mode, the BRAILLEX Trio Braille keyboard can emulate
almost all keys or key combinations of a regular PC keyboard.
Dots 7 and 8 are typically used for computer Braille entry. Dot 7 (to the left of
dot 3) for example makes the difference between lower case and capital
characters, a capital "A" for example, is written with dots 1+7. Dot 8 is often
used in languages that have accented characters.
Of the 4 keys between the Braille display and the Easy Access Bar, the two
internal ones are used as space keys. The two external ones are used for special
functions (see below).
Please note that the Braille keys are only activated once they have been
released.

Braille-Emulation of PC-Shift, Alt, Ctrl, Win
A special problem when emulating a full PC keyboard is the fact that you can
combine just about any key with Ctrl, Alt or Shift. Computer Braille typically
gives the possibility to write capitalized characters, such as "A" (typically dot
1+7), but there is no generally accepted code for Ctrl-Esc, for example, or Shift-
F1.
The Braille keyboard of BRAILLEX Trio enables you to write just about any PC
key combination, especially with these keys (and with Insert, which is commonly
used in combination with other keys in a popular screen reader program).
Rather than defining a key combination (for example with combinations of thumb
keys, space and Braille) for all these key combination, BRAILLEX Trio makes the
key modifiers Shift, Alt, Ctrl and Insert available in the way of "sticky keys", as a
prefix for combinations with other keys.
So if you want to write a key combination with Shift for example, you write the
"Shift" code first, and the other key afterwards. In case you type one of these
prefixes by mistake, you can also disable it again.
Braille keyboard emulation of Shift, Alt, Ctrl, Ins
Shift Left thumb + dot 1
Ctrl Left thumb + dot 2
Alt Left thumb + dot 3
Shift + Ctrl Left thumb + dots 1,2
Alt + Shift Left thumb + dots 1,3
Alt + Ctrl Left thumb + dots 2,3
Shift + Alt + Ctrl Left thumb + dots 1,2,3
Insert (as a prefix) Left thumb + dots 3,7
Win key (as a prefix) Left thumb + dot 4
Disable prefix Left thumb + dot 7
Please note that these prefixes currently only apply in the external mode, i.e.
when you type on the computer connected to Trio. In stand-alone mode (i.e. in
the editor), Ctrl combinations must be written with dots 7 and 8.

BRAILLEX Trio's Note-Taking Functions
The BRAILLEX Trio Control Center
Introduction
When you first switch on BRAILLEX Trio, you will get a message "editor". You are
in the control center that offers, like the Windows start menu, a selection of
activities. Some (like "editor") will take you to a program right away, some (like
"settings") will lead to sub-menus.
Inside the control center, you can either navigate with the arrow keys (see PC
keystrokes with the Braille keyboard page 19) or with the Easy Access Bar. 1
step up or left will bring you to the previous item, 1 step down or right to the
next. 2 steps down will select the current item (like Enter), 2 steps up will bring
you to the superior level (like Escape).
You can activate the control center at any time using Space + dots 1,2,3,4,5,6.
Please note that when you switch off the device and on again, it will come back
where you left it when you switched it off. So if you had been writing a text, it
will come back with the editor open and will show the cursor position. The same
applies when you had been working in terminal mode. If the connection to the
external device is not active then or as long as no new data have been
transferred to BRAILLEX Trio, you will then see the message "external".
Menu Items
In the following you will see the BRAILLEX Trio main menu. It contains 6 items.
The separate letters do not appear in all languages, but they indicate shortcuts
that will get you to the functions when you write the corresponding letter in the
control center.

If you had opened a file previously and had not closed it, will get back to that file
immediately. Otherwise, you will get the message "file name?" followed by the
cursor sign.
Enter a file name and hit Enter (Space + dot 8, or simply dot 8).
The message will disappear and, if the file name had not been assigned yet, you
will have a blank line with the cursor in the first cell, and you can start typing.

i.e. Enter (Space + dot 8, or simply dot 8) or EAB two steps down for selecting a
menu item, Escape (space + dot 7) to exit, etc.
Set Date and Time
All time and date settings can be adjusted in this menu. When you select it, you
will get to a sub-menu with four entries:
Time
If you want to adjust the time settings , select this menu item. You see the
current clock settings. You can now modify the time in the format hhmmss. If
the date format is set to "12 hours am/pm", you should also check this
setting and eventually change it entering "a" or "p" at the correspondent
place. You may skip (and maintain) part of the settings by moving the cursor
sign with the arrow keys (space + dot 4 for right arrow, space + dot 1 for left

or EAB two steps up.
Date
Select this item to modify the date settings. Depending on the date format
settings (see below) you now enter the date in the format ddmmyy
(European date format) or in the format mmddyy. In both cases the first two
digits "20" of the year are preset and cannot be modified. Confirm and exit
this menu item with Enter (Space + dot 8, or simply dot 8) or EAB two steps
down. You may also cancel the operation with Escape (space + dot 7) or EAB
two steps up.
Time Format
Select this item to select the time format. You can chose between "24 hours"
and "12 hours am/pm" using the arrow keys or the EAB. The star in front of
the item indicates the current selection. Confirm and exit this menu item with
Enter (Space + dot 8, or simply dot 8) or EAB two steps down. You may also
cancel the operation with Escape (space + dot 7) or EAB two steps up.
Date Format
Select this item to select the date format. You can chose between "European"
(dd-mm-yyyy) and "American" (mm-dd-yyyy) formats using the arrow keys
or the EAB. The star in front of the item indicates the current selection.
Confirm and exit this menu item with Enter (Space + dot 8, or simply dot 8)
or EAB two steps down. You may also cancel the operation with Escape
(space + dot 7) or EAB two steps up.
Bluetooth Settings
In the Bluetooth Settings menu, you find three submenu items that will allow
you to activate or disable Trio's Bluetooth port, and to personalize your
BRAILLEX Trio.
Bluetooth on/off
In this sub-menu, you generally activate or disable BRTAILLEX Trio's
Bluetooth port. Default is "active". If you do not use the Bluetooth port to
communicate with other Bluetooth devices, we strongly suggest disabling it
in order to save battery life. With Bluetooth disabled, the battery life will be
almost doubled. You can chose between "bluetooth active" and "bluetooth
off" using the arrow keys or the EAB. The star in front of the item indicates
the current selection. Confirm and exit this menu item with Enter (Space +
26
BRAILLEX Trio's Standalone Functions
dot 8, or simply dot 8) or EAB two steps down. You may also cancel the
operation with Escape (space + dot 7) or EAB two steps up.
Bluetooth Name
Here you find the name used to identify BRAILLEX Trio as a Bluetooth device.
By default this is "braillex trio". In environments where moe than one
BRAILLEX Trios may appear, we suggest that you specify the name, adding
the serial no. of the device to its name, for example. Confirm and exit this
menu item with Enter (Space + dot 8, or simply dot 8) or EAB two steps
down. You may also cancel the operation with Escape (space + dot 7) or EAB
two steps up.
Bluetooth Pin
When two Bluetooth devices are connected, a pin code is used as a security
feature. By default, BRAILLEX Trio's pin code is "0000". You can overwrite it
with a new one and confirm with Enter (Space + dot 8, or simply dot 8) or
EAB two steps down. Please keep in mind that those pin codes may only
contain numbers.
Select Braille Table
When selecting this item you will enter a list of national Braille codes both for the
Braille display and for the Braille keyboard.
Chose the one that fits your preference using the arrow keys or the EAB. The
star in front of the item indicates the current selection. Confirm and exit this
menu item with Enter (Space + dot 8, or simply dot 8) or EAB two steps down.
You may also cancel the operation with Escape (space + dot 7) or EAB two steps
up.
Please note that this selection will only concern BRAILLEX Trio's internal
functions, not the PC access functions.
Power in USB Operation
Here you can define BRAILLEX Trio's power source when in USB operation. The
choices are "use USB power" or "use internal battery".
When selecting "use USB power", you decide to drain power from the USB host
(typically a PC) BRAILLEX Trio is connected to. If this PC is a notebook PC, the
second choice "use internal battery" may make sense, though, as BRAILLEX
Trio's batteries last way longer than the notebook batteries typically do.
Make your choice using the arrow keys or the EAB. The star in front of the item
indicates the current selection. Confirm and exit this menu item with Enter
(Space + dot 8, or simply dot 8) or EAB two steps down. You may also cancel
the operation with Escape (space + dot 7) or EAB two steps up.
Please note that in case the PC does NOT supply enough power, BRAILLEX Trio
will use the internal batteries, and in case the internal batteries are empty, it will
try to get the necessary power from the USB port.
Sleep times
This menu contains two items that both open a sub-menu:
Sleep Time Display
defines the inactivity time before the Braille display is switched off in order to
save energy. Default is 5 minutes. Enter the desired sleep time and confirm
with Enter (Space + dot 8, or simply dot 8).
If you do not wish the display to switch off at all, enter "0".
Once the display has gone to sleep, you activate it again by pushing the Easy
Access Bar in any key direction.
27
BRAILLEX Trio's Standalone Functions
Sleep Time Trio
You can also set a time of inactivity before the device completely switches
off. Default is 10 minutes.
If you do not wish the device to switch off at all, enter "0".
Once Braillex Trio has gone to sleep, you switch it on again using the on-off
switch. It will come back in the same situation you left it before it switched
off.
Dot Firmness
Here you can adjust the firmness of BRAILLEX Trio's Braille dots to your reading
preferences. The possible values go from "0" (soft) to "7" (strong).
Tools
The tools menu offers a number of options to reset the device to factory
standard and to recharge the batteries.
Format Flash Memory
The flash memory contains all data you might have stored in your BRAILLEX
Trio. When formatting Trio's flash memory, you do not erase any of Trio's
programs, but delete all texts, all day planner appointments, and the contents of
the clipboard.
This is how you proceed:
From the "Tools" menu, select "format flash memory" (shortcut key: "f").
You will see the message "are you sure? all data will be lost!"
Confirm the fact that you want to format the flash memory typing "y" or
cancel the operation with Escape (space + dot 7) or EAB two steps up. After
you have confirmed, you will see the message "formatting flash", and after
ashort while, "flash successfully formatted".
Restore Default Values
When restoring BRAILLEX Trio's default values, you do not modify the contents
of the flash memory (see above), i.e. you keep all of your data, but you reset all
the settings to the (language depending) default values (Braille character set,
sleep times, Bluetooth settings, etc.).
This is how you proceed:
From the "Tools" menu, select "restore default values" (shortcut key: "d").
You will see the message "reset default values?"
Confirm the message typing "y" or cancel the operation with Escape (space +
dot 7) or EAB two steps up. After you have confirmed, you will see the
message "default values restored".
Battery Recharge
You need this menu item if you want to recharge BRAILLEX Trio's batteries with
the supplied USB charger.
When activating this menu item, you will get a sub-menu containing two entries:
"battery recharge active" and "battery recharge off". By default, it is set to "off".
Switch it to "on" if you have the USB charger connected, if you have the right
NiMH rechargeable batteries inside the unit, and if you want to start the charging
procedure.

BRAILLEX Trio's Terminal Functions
BRAILLEX Trio's Terminal Functions
BRAILLEX Trio offers 40 Braille cells for reading the screen. You can move this
reading window across the screen with the Easy Access Bar. With the
routing keys integrated into the Braille cells you move the mouse pointer to
any desired place on the screen.
Basic Functions
You control the Braille display either with the Easy Access Bar alone, or in
combination with the keys.
In any case, the behavior of the Braille display depends on the screen reader
software. Depending on the software package used in conjunction with BRAILLEX
Trio, a key or key combination might have different meanings.
Some screen reader programs such as Jaws for Windows and Dolphin HAL/
Supernova also support the Papenmeier Simple User Interface, a series of on-
screen menus that make the key + Easy Access Bar combinations redundant.
Some of the basic functions are identical for all screen readers, though:
Moving the Braille display (Reading Window)
For navigating across the screen, you just use the Easy Access Bar.
Push the Easy Access Bar one step up to move the display up one line. Push the
Easy Access Bar one step down to move the display down one line. You
maintain the column position of your Braille display when you push the Easy
Access Bar up or down.
The Easy Access Bar positions one step left and one step right have the meaning
"Read backward" and "Read forward".
Push the Easy Access Bar one step left to move the reading window 40
columns to the left.
Push the Easy Access Bar one step right to move the reading window 40
columns to the right.
Using the "Read forward" function, you continuously read the screen, i.e. once
the display has finished reading the screen line, it will go to the next line if you
continue pushing the Easy Access Bar.
Using the BRAILLEX Trio Braille keyboard to access a PC
If you have installed the keyboard driver during the BRXCom installation, as
soon as you switch to terminal mode, BRAILLEX Trio's Braille keyboard becomes
a PC keyboard.
The Braille Emulation of PC function keys is described above (see PC keystrokes
with the Braille keyboard page 19).
31
BRAILLEX Trio's Terminal Functions
File Transfer From and To BRAILLEX Trio
When installing the drivers for your screen reader programs, you also
automatically install two auxiliary programs that help you transferring and
managing the files you have stored in your BRAILLEX Trio, and a viewer that will
allow sighted people to see what is going on on Trio's Braille display when you
are in stand-alone mode.
The BRAILLEX Trio Filemanager
With the TRIO Filemanager (BRXCom Filemanager) you can manage the texts
stored in BRAILLEX Trio, from your PC. You will find a shortcut to "BRAILLEX
Filemanager" on the desktop of your PC.
Before starting the BRAILLEX Filemanager, please make sure BRAILLEX Trio is
switched on and connected to the PC (either via a USB or via a Bluetooth
connection). For the actual file transfer, Trio's working mode is not important,
but if you want to check the transfer on your Braille display you better switch to
terminal mode using space + dots 78 and start your screen reader. If BRAILLEX
Trio is not properly connected to the PC, the BRAILLEX Filemanager will issue an
error message and will not be started.
The BRAILLEX Filemanager first comes up with a blank window. If you press F5
(right thumb key + dots 15), you update the list of files contained in BRAILLEX
Trio. You move through that list using the arrow keys.
All files contained in BRAILLEX Trio have file extension, i.e. "test.txt". Behind the
file name, you see the size, the date and time of the files. The list is sorted in
alphabetical order.
Copying Files
Transferring Files from the PC to BRAILLEX Trio
Currently, only files with the file extension "TXT" can be transferred to BRAILLEX
Trio. The file name length must not exceed 12 characters and should not contain
any spaces. If you want to copy a file from the PC to Braillex Trio, please
proceed as follows:
In the BRAILLEX Filemanager, press Ctrl+T.
A regular Windows dialog will come up that lets you select the name of the
file to be transferred.
Select the file you want to transfer and hit Enter.
The file will then be transferred. Especially for longer files, this may take
some time. You will get a message when the file transfer has been completed
successfully.
Once you have acknowledged this message by hitting Enter, you will see the
updated file list.
Transferring Files from BRAILLEX Trio to the PC
If you want to copy a file from Braillex Trio to the PC, please proceed as follows:
In the BRAILLEX Filemanager file list, select the file you want to transfer with

BRAILLEX Viewer
The BRAILLEX Trio viewer is a program that will help sighted persons to visualize
the contents on the Braille display when Trio is in stand-alone mode.
The viewer is automatically installed on your when you install BRXCom. You will
find a shortcut named "BRAILLEX Viewer" on the desktop of your PC.
Before starting up the viewer, you need to connect BRAILLEX Trio to the PC and
either start the BRAILLEX Filemanager or your screen reader. Once you have
started the viewer, make sure that the display contents changes once (by
moving the Easy Access Bar, for example) in order to update the blank viewer
window. From that time on, you will be able to see the Braille display contents in
this window, at least as long as the connection with the PC is maintained.
Please note that the viewer only shows the display contents when you are in
stand-alone mode.

BRAILLEX Trio And Jaws For Windows
In combination with Jaws for Windows, BRAILLEX Trio works like any of
Papenmeier's world-famous BRAILLEX EL displays. The handling and the
functionality are identical.
When navigating in the active window, you can choose between three different
working modes, which influence the assignment of the Easy Access Bar:
Navigation Mode
In the Navigation Mode, you just read across the screen when using the
navigation keys as described above; the cursor is NOT moved. This also
means that you can explore parts of the screen where the cursor can't go.
PC Mode
The PC mode is the opposite: Instead of moving the display across the
screen when pushing the Easy Access Bar, you move the cursor. Please note
that as long as the active cursor moves the Braille display, this obviously also
influences the Braille display position.
Combined Mode
The so-called Combined Mode is a mix of the two modes described above. It
is useful especially when it comes to reading long text documents. Whenever
you press a reading key and a line border is crossed, the PC cursor is moved
to the new line as well. This means that you can read a text without having
to bother about screen pages.
Selecting the Working Modes
In order to select the working modes, press the right key towards the rear. You
will get a dialog box that looks like follows:
The mode displayed is the one currently selected. Move the Easy Access Bar one
step left or right to change the values. Once you have reached the end of the
list, you will see the first value again. The options are the following:
Navigation mode
PC Mode
Combined Mode
For setting the value temporarily, push the Easy Access Bar 2 steps up. This will
set the value displayed and return to the application you came from.
If you want to save the setting as a new default for the current application, push
the Easy Access Bar 2 steps down. You will hear the message "settings saved",
the value displayed will be activated, and you will return to the application you
came from.

Easy Access Bar Assignment in the Three Working Modes
In the following you will see the assignment of the Easy Access Bar in the three
different working modes:
Navigation Mode
Used for normal screen navigation. The cursor position is not changed. Two
marker positions can be reached directly: the title bar (with 2 steps up) and the
last window line, which typically corresponds to a status line (with 2 steps
down). The main reading functions (read forwards and backwards) have a
double assignment: they can be reached with both the first step and the second
step right or left.
Navigation Mode Functions

One step up Moves the display one line up.
One step down Moves the display one line down.
One step left Read backwards.
Two steps left Same as one step left.
One step right Read forwards.
Two steps right Same as one step right.
Two steps up Moves the display to the title bar
Two steps down Moves the display to the last line of the window.
PC Mode
In PC mode, the Easy Access Bar allows to navigate through an application. Easy
Access Bar keys will emulate PC keyboard functions:
PC Mode Functions
Easy Access Bar Function
One step left PC Left arrow key
One step up PC Up arrow key
One step right PC Right arrow key
One step down PC Down arrow key
Two steps left (Shift)+(Tab)
Two steps up (Alt); within a dialog box or menu: (Esc)
Two steps right (Tab)
Two steps down (Enter)
Combined Mode
The combined mode includes both screen navigation and cursor movement
features. When you move the Easy Access Bar up or down, the cursor is moved
one line up or down as well (cf. PC mode). When you move the Easy Access Bar
to the right, the function is the same as in navigation mode if the text line is
longer than the display is. The cursor remains at the original position. Once all
the text of that line has been displayed, another “read forwards” command will
move both the cursor and the display to the next line. Pushing the Easy Access
Bar one step left corresponds to “read backwards” if you are within a long line of
text. Otherwise, both cursor and display are moved one line up.
In analogy to the navigation mode, two marker positions can be reached
directly: the title bar (with 2 steps up) and the last window line, which typically
35
BRAILLEX Trio's Terminal Functions
corresponds to a status line (with 2 steps down). This will NOT move the cursor.
The main reading functions (read forwards and backwards) have a double
assignment: they can be reached with both the first step and the second step
right or left.

Two steps right Same as one step right.
One step down Move cursor and display to next line
Two steps up Moves the display to the title bar
Two steps down Moves the display to the last line of the window.
Cursor Tracking
When navigating across the screen with the Braille display, you do not always
take the cursor with you. You can return to the cursor position at any time. If the
cursor is not present within the Braille display and you want to move the display
back to the cursor position, press the right key towards the front. This will move
the display to the cursor location and make sure that when the cursor is moved,
the display will follow.
You can also decide not to have the Braille display follow the cursor movements.
For this purpose, press the right key towards the front while the cursor is visible
on the display. You will hear the message "the active cursor will not move the
Braille display", and the automatic tracking is disabled. In order to enable the
cursor tracking again, move the display away from the cursor and press right
key towards the front again.

Reveal Text Attributes
You can have the Braille display reveal different text attributes. The Braille
display then underlines the corresponding portion of text with dots 7+8. You can
select any of the different attributes directly, or you can choose to get all
available attributes revealed. You can, of course, also disable this function.
Press the left key in rear position to activate the selection. You will see a dialog
that looks like follows:
The first line in the dialog box shows the current attribute value at the cursor
position of the application you are in. You can obviously also use this function to
just look up the exact attribute at the cursor position.
The next line contains the global attribute display choices:
Attribute display: Braille marking all
Attribute display: Braille marking off
Attribute display: Braille marking see below for current settings
If you select "Braille marking all", all text with screen attributes other than
normal will be marked with dots 7 and 8. This only works if in the Braille
presentation options, the "mark with dots 7 and 8" option is enabled.
The "Braille marking off" option disables the Braille marking function for all
attributes.
If you have chosen one or several attributes you want to get revealed with dots
7 and 8, you get the message "Braille marking see below for current settings".
Push the Easy Access Bar one step to the left or to the right to select the
settings.
In the next lines, you see the list of attributes that can be revealed with dots 7
and 8. You enable or disable the marking by pushing the Easy Access Bar one
step to the left or to the right. If you modify any of the settings in this part of
the dialog, line 2 will change to " Attribute display: modified". If you go back to
line 2 you can then also restore the initial selection of attributes to be displayed,
by chosing "Braille marking see below for current settings".
For setting the values temporarily, push the Easy Access Bar 2 steps up. This will
set the value displayed and return to the application you came from.
If you want to save the setting as a new default for the current application, push
the Easy Access Bar 2 steps down. You will hear the message "settings saved",

Mouse Functions
You can activate mouse functions with all BRAILLEX EL devices, using the routing
keys.
In order to execute a mouse click, you first move the Braille display to the
relevant position. Then you press a routing key at the desired position. This
corresponds to a left mouse click.
You can also use the routing keys to select text, for example in a word
processing program. Move the display to the starting point of the marker. Hold
the left key in front position while you press the routing key at the start position.
Then move the display to the end point and repeat the key combination.
