Remarks and explanations

(a)When software is designed to run on a system that has a keyboard, product functions shall be executable from a keyboard where the function itself or the result of performing a function can be discerned textually.

(b)Applications shall not disrupt or disable activated features of other products that are identified as accessibility features, where those features are developed and documented according to industry standards. Applications also shall not disrupt or disable activated features of any operating system that are identified as accessibility features where the application programming interface for those accessibility features has been documented by the manufacturer of the operating system and is available to the product developer.

Supports with Limitations

Regarding Sharp imaging (one of the functions of Sharpdesk® document management software), some mouse commands do not have a corresponding keyboard command. (ex. range specification of image data).

Regarding PAU5 almost all buttons and links can be focused using the tab key and selected using the space key or the enter key. And almost all results can be discerned textually.

All buttons and links can be focused using keyboard in PRINTER DRIVER/ Printer Status Monitor.

*Note that PAU5 is a Web application and thus the details of behavior of the UIs ultimately depend on the browser. (The same goes for the other items.)

Sharpdesk software runs on Microsoft™ OS and utilities.

PRINTER DRIVER/ Printer Status Monitor are not designed to disrupt or disable other functions by design.

PAU5 is not designed to disrupt or disable other functions by design.

If the focus changes, the target will change in some ways. Ex. the frame color will change if a thumbnail is focused. The text will be bold if focused.

If the focus changes, the target will change in some ways. Ex. the frame line will change if an icon button is focused.

Regarding PAU5 in all cases, the location of the focus is clearly indicated on the screen.
