Sorry to be contradictory here, but it is a common mistake.
The embosser (Braille Blazer) has a maximum Line Length of
34 cells. Therefor, when you set a Binding Margin, you
should deduct this figure from the Line length. If you want
a Binding Margin of 2 cells, the maximum Line Length will be
34 minus 2 = 32 cells.
Additionally, if I remember correctly, the Braille Blazer
has a default left margin of 2 or 3 cells pre-set, and so it
may be necessary to re-set this on the embosser itself.
George.

Hello Rick:
What your teacher should do is to set the desired characters
per line to 34 and the binding margin characters to 2 so
that there will be 32 characters and two blank spaces for
binding.
That should solve the problem as since the Blazer uses
narrow width paper there will be no need to do another
embosser setting in the document
menu.----- Original Message -----
