• Two methods of operation are available: the standard supply control unit (RCU-014) and the
optional trackball unit (RCU-015/RCU-016). The ergonomically designed palm rest on the track-
ball unit makes it easy to use.

do not have a power button.

dard.

there is interference from surface reflections. (Available for B/W-types only.)
