Marathon

Photograph, Marathon

Ideal for proofreading books in production and other high-speed applications, Marathon produces an entire single-sided page of crisp, perfect Braille every five seconds. That's 200 characters per second, the highest Braille production capacity anywhere in the world at the price. Yet Marathon weighs just 75 pounds and fits neatly in its built in aluminum case, so it can be transported safely.

Marathon comes with a parallel port and a 25-pin serial port as well. Sixteen menus allow you to customize your embosser once for every task you need and call all the settings into action with a few keystrokes. Adjust for 6 or 8-dot Braille, use a variety of paper sizes, and reprint up to 99 copies of one document automatically with Multi-Copy.

Item: 70MA1000

Price: Marathon $16,995.

Shipping and Handling: $190 in the most of the US; Alaska, Hawaii, and overseas destinations will involve additional shipping.
