I own three Index Basic-D braille embossers. Firmware version II,
software version 4.40 installed.
Since the beginning of the Beta Cycle for the release of DBT 10.5, I
have been trying to understand why I cannot emboss the desired number
of lines per page from the embosser when using DBT 10.5.
Following are the settings that I set in the Basic-D:
Group Page Layout Menu
Characters Per Line: 30
Left Margin: 0
B Margin: 0 (This is actually Binding Margin).
Top Margin: 1
Bottom Margin: 0
Line Spacing: 5.2 (At this setting, with the top margin set to 1, the
embosser can emboss 25 lines per page. With a top margin of 0, the
embosser can emboss 26 lines per page but the embosser starts
embossing approximately 1 quarter of an inch from the top of the page,
which is too near the top of the page.
Page Mode: Double-Sided
Print Mode: Normal
page number: off
Paper Length 1: 11 inches
Paper Length 2: 11 inches
Z-folding: Off
Group Option Settings
Word Wrap: Off
Auto Line Feed: Off
Form-Feed: Off
Impact Level: 4
Delay Time: 4
Print Quality: Normal
Graphic Dot Distance: 2.0
Text Dot Distance: Normal Pring-out Mode 2.5
Setup: Open
Paper Jam: On
Distance After File: 1
DBT 10.5 Settings:

Under Brailler Device Edit Button:
General Tab Page:
Embosser Model: Index Basic-D

Default Form: Narrow Width, 11 inch long, braille paper

Device Settings Tab Page

Left margin (extra cells): 0
Rightmost cell placement: 30
Top Margin setting: 1

Advanced Tab Page

End of line indicator: Carriage Return, line feed (PC)
End of page indicator: Form Feed Only
EOL on a full line: Checked
The last four buttons on this page are unchecked
Returning to the Global Embosser Setup Page
Braille formatting form: Narrow width, 11 inch long, braille paper
Desired formatting:
Characters per line: 30
Lines per page: 25
Top Margin: 1
Binding Margin: 0
Emboss in interpoint: Checked
Emboss Banner page: unchecked
When I emboss a file with the above settings, I do not get a braille
file with 25 lines embossed on each side of the page as I would
expect. However, If I set the number of lines in DBT to 24, I get a
braille output that has 24 lines of braille on each side of the sheet
of paper.
Please advise me as to how I can get 25 lines on each side of a sheet
of paper, using the above settings.
I have run out of ideas.
Personally speaking, all of the embosser information should not be
contained in one embosser such as "emb.elt". It would be a far more
sensible and logical, not only to say, more efficient for operating
and troubleshooting reasons to have DBT create an individual file for
each embosser that is installed.

Dave Durber
