Hi folks,



I work at a non-profit run by people who are blind.  We need to find an 
accessible copier and fax machine, preferably separate machines. 
Stand-alone and not hooked to a computer would also be our first choice. 
We've had an all-in-one copier-fax-scanner which has broken down, and which 
was difficult to navigate both for blind and sighted.



We need something which has tactile buttons (not flat panel), and which has 
some way to bypass the menus (or at least manage them.



I know that most of the new machines are all-in-one or at least a combo of 
some sort.



We're a low-volume copying and faxing facility; I understand that separate 
machines would probably be for large volume, as well as likely be 
cost-prohibitive

(Cost is a factor also, as we are a small non-profit with very little 
money.)



If a multi-function machine is what we must get, can anyone recommend one 
that is durable and relatively easily operated by touch?  If it has to be 
hooked to a computer we could live with that also, if it's the otherwise 
better choice.



We might consider an older second-hand fax or copier if it was in good 
condition and inexpensive from a reliable source.



Any help or suggestions you may have will be most appreciated.



With many thanks for help and for taking the time to read this,



Jan Santos
