Written description of buttons for blind users.

On the far left, you have the On and Off buttons, then to the right of those, a Feed and Help button. These are all marked in Braille. If you press the Help button, it will read out information about the embosser including the current paper size.

In the middle you should find a Menu button. To the right of that you should find three arrow buttons - a left, up and down. To the right is an OK button.

On the right, there are three buttons - CHS, 1 and 10. The 1 key will increment a value by one, and the 10 key will increment a value by 10. The CHS key swaps it around, so that the keys will decrement a value instead.
