their operation by persons with the widest range of
capabilities, including persons with disabilities or
with temporary disabilities.
The standard provides guidelines to be used when planning,
developing and designing office equipment such as copying
machines, page printers and multi-function devices.
It outlines specifications for:

Display (e.g. Auditory)
Mechanical operable controls (e.g. Position, shapes)
Terms (e.g. Commonly used expressions), and
Maintenance, such as care of equipment and parts replacement
by users.
