Hi Flor. Unfortunately FS can't duplicate this, so I don't know if it's just
this computer setup. I wonder if when I set up the bluetooth adapter on my
netbook, neither pc came with it built in, if the display will act the same
way. I wonder if an update might help this issue in the future. Thanks for
your help,
Siobhan

I don't think uninstalling and reinstalling would change that. perhaps
you could contact FS about the problem and let's see how they solve it.
My initial thought was that the # sign was being seen as braille 'ble'.
It shouldn't have something to do with it, but did you merge JAWS12 with
a previous JAWS? then, you just might need to uninstall and reinstall
JAWS if that's the problem. My brailleNote doesn't operate the braille
input modes properly, probably because it's a QT model anyway.

Hello and thanks for getting back to me. Admittedly I haven't tried that
new hash sign, but if it thinks the number sign is an extra character
wouldn't it think the same of the other dots? I hope I'm not installing
something wrong, because others who've had focus displays not the blue,
say they can enter numbers just fine. Would I be better to uninstal the
display itself and start over? if so, how do I go about removing that? I
didn't see how in the Braille options. Thanks for all of your help. One
last question, how do I change to computer Braille for the password then
back to contracted for everything else?

have you tried inputting it [the number] with the new hash sign, i.e.,
dots 456-1456 then 3456 dot1? You might, however, instead need to input
the whole password in computer braille.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Focus 40 Blue difficulties using contracted imput
andjaws.
Hello all. I’ll get right to the point. I have a Focus 40 blue that I
like very much but am having problems using it on a website. The area I’m
having an issue with is when entering numbers for instance in a password
setting. I have it set to contracted imput and output in the Braille
settings of Jaws 12 latest build, and it’s also crucial to note that I am
having this issue whether or noti’m bluetooth connected, or on USB. When
I enter a password, say gooddog1 the issue is how to get Jaws and the
site to recognize that this is a number. I’ve been told to do everything
from try a dropped number, to using a number sign also I’ve used dot
four, or dots four seven and none of these seem to work. These were all
suggestions by other Braille display users. My system for those who may
need to know: is a dell Studio xps 1340 windows seven sixty four bit home
Premium edition. If you can help I’d appreciate it. I hope this was
clear, if not please mail me off list if you need further information.
