A Accessibility Settings

This appendix describes LTFS-LE accessibility settings and how to enable these settings using the LTFS-LE BUI.

Overview

The LTFS-LE Browser User Interface (BUI) provides the following accessibility settings for users with low vision, blindness, color blindness, or other visual impairments:

  • Screen Reader mode

    This mode causes the screen display to be optimized for use with screen readers such as JAWS. It also enables you to perform all screen actions with the keyboard instead of a mouse.

  • High Contrast mode

    Causes LTFS-LE screens to be compatible with high-contrast features provided by your browser. For best results, you may also want to enable large fonts mode, described below.

  • Large Fonts mode

    Causes LTFS-LE screens to be compatible with larger font sizes and zoom capabilities provided by your browser. For best results, you may also want to enable high-contrast mode, described above.

    This mode is designed to be used with larger fonts or zoom capabilities in your browser (see your browser's documentation for details). You should disable this mode if you are not using these capabilities in your browser.

Enabling Accessibility Settings

Perform the following steps to customize the accessibility settings for your LTFS-LE username in current and future login sessions.

  1. From the LTFS-LE BUI main toolbar, click Preferences and select Accessibility.

    The Accessibility Settings dialog appears.

  2. Select any of the following settings to enable the accessibility modes you want to use:

    • Screen Reader

    • High Contrast

    • Large Fonts

    • Do not show these options again

      Select this setting to specify that you do not want the Accessibility Settings dialog to be displayed automatically when you log in to the LTFS-LE BUI. You can use this procedure to change this setting at any time.

  3. Verify your selections and then click OK.

    Your settings are applied, and remain in effect for future login sessions, unless you change them again using this procedure.
