For the Phaser™ 4500, general user tasks were assumed to be programming and running jobs, and
unloading prints. According to the Federal Access Board, tasks such as clearing jams, loading supplies,
and adding paper are considered maintenance tasks and are not included in this summary.
The first table of the Template provides a summary view of the section 508 Standards. The subsequent
tables provide more detailed views of each subsection. There are three columns in each table. Column
one of the Summary Table describes the subsections of subparts B and C of the Standards. The second
column describes the supporting features of the product or refers you to the corresponding detailed
table, "e.g., equivalent facilitation." The third column contains any additional remarks and
explanations regarding the product. In the subsequent tables, the first column contains the lettered
paragraphs of the subsections. The second column describes the supporting features of the product
with regard to that paragraph. The third column contains any additional remarks and explanations
regarding the product.
The purpose of the Voluntary Product Accessibility Template is to assist Federal contracting officials in
making preliminary assessments regarding the availability of commercial Electronic and Information
Technology products and services with features that support accessibility. It is assumed that offerers
will provide additional contact information to facilitate more detailed inquiries.
