If you see lines or hear narration coming from the kiosk when you tap on the screen, this typically means that Accessibility Mode has been enabled on the kiosk. This can be resolved by turning off the accessibility mode or wiping and re-enrolling the Chromebox.
Requirements/Tools Needed:
- USB Keyboard
- A paperclip
