1. PRINTER BASICS
Thank you for your purchase of a Braillo 650 SF. Please read this manual carefully before installing
and operating this Printer.
Features
Prints interpoint, both sides of the page are printed simultaneously.
Specially designed to print 4 pages/sheet (like e.g. newspapers and magazines).
Prints 650 characters per second.
Self-test system checks the magnets continuously during printing.
Reliable, sturdy construction.
Safety switches will turn the Printer off if someone accidentally opens the cover while printing.
The printed sheets will be stacked and a cover sheet (with both Braille and ink print) can be added.
Then the stack is stapled, folded and ejected.
Maximizing the operational life of your Braillo printer
Many 30-year-old Braillo printers are still in daily operation – a testament to their quality. To maxi-
mize the life of your Braillo printer, we strongly recommend using the correct tools, which come with
your printer; as well as following the correct procedures, which we prescribe in the manual and rein-
force in our training courses.
Additionally, just as the wrong wrench can ruin a nut, using poor quality Braille paper can ruin the
printer’s pins, print shoes and moveable parts by causing them to wear out prematurely. Failures due to
user negligence of this nature, just as repairs carried out by untrained personnel, may compromise your
warranty rights.
Braillo recommends using our specialized Braille paper and having your printer serviced by certied
technicians who have successfully completed our training course.
More information regarding our training courses can be found on our website:
