Accessibility features help people with a physical disability,
such as restricted mobility or limited vision, or with other special needs,
to use software products successfully. This information center is developed
to comply with the accessibility requirements of software products according
to Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of the United States.
The major accessibility features in this information center enable users
to do the following:
- Use assistive technologies, such as screen-reader software and digital
speech synthesizer, to hear what is displayed on the screen. In this information
center, all information is provided in HTML format. Consult the product documentation
of the assistive technology for details on using assistive technologies with
HTML-based information.
- Operate specific or equivalent features using only the keyboard.
- Magnify what is displayed on the screen.
In addition, all images are provided with alternative text so that users
with vision impairments can understand the contents of the images.
