Accessibility features for the system

Accessibility features help users who have a disability, such as restricted mobility or limited vision, to use information technology products successfully.

Accessibility features

These are the major accessibility features for the system:
  • You can use screen-reader software and a digital speech synthesizer to hear what is displayed on the screen. HTML documents are tested by using JAWS version 15.0.
  • This product uses standard Windows navigation keys.
  • Interfaces are commonly used by screen readers.
  • Industry-standard devices, ports, and connectors.

The system online documentation and its related publications are accessibility-enabled.

Keyboard navigation

You can use keys or key combinations for operations and to initiate menu actions that can also be done through mouse actions. You can go to the system online documentation from the keyboard by using the keyboard shortcuts for your browser or screen-reader software. See your browser or screen-reader software Help for a list of keyboard shortcuts that it supports.
