Continuous tractor-fed paper

The tractor feed system in combination with the double sided printout, effective copy function, good durability and high speed print, makes the Basic-D the obvious choice for Braille production centres of all sizes. The paper feed system benefits from the ability to print a complete box of paper continuously and without interruption.

Braille quality

The braille quality of the Basic-D is one of the best on the market. It has equally formed dots that will last for a long time. The design of the forming process reduces the risk of holes and cracked dots. A cracked dot will have a limited life time.

Double sided Braille

The double sided function not only reduces the quantity of paper by 50%, but also costs and amount of work involved when binding, mailing, storing and handling. With Basic-D you can combine double sided printout and graphics. It will automatically format the page so that the graphics do not interfere with the text.

Speech guided user interface

Blind and sighted users are guided equally by speech feedback, together with the ink and Braille labelled front panel. The speech is available in a number of languages.

A 2400 pages/day copy machine

The copy function, in combination with the tractor feed system, and a 400 page text buffer makes Basic-D an effective Braille copy machine, producing up to 2400 pages during an 8 hour working day.
