F.H.Papenmeier 1860-TRIO Manuel D’Utilisation

 

 

 

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.

The Editor 
In the control center, select "Editor" (shortcut key: e)  and hit Enter (Space + 

dot 8, or simply dot 8) or push the EAB two steps down. 
 

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.
