Yes I had selected ROM 10.24 or older, that is the current setup for the
Everest in Global settings.
What about updating the firmware?
On the website there are drivers for 64-bit computers; I have installed
that. Is that right?
There is also an Add Printer Wizard on the website. I think that is for
installing the embosser when using WinBraille however. Should I have used
that wizard to install the embosser, instead of adding the Everest as a
generic text only device?

In theory, you should not have to do anything to the settings of the
embosser itself.
In DBT's Global: Embosser Setup, select your Everest and the click on
Modify.
Navigate to the Device Setting Tab, and check that the "Embosser Version" is
set to "Version 4 (ROM 10.24 or older)" .

Thank you, George, for replying.
Yes I selected my Everest-D in global settings and started with the defaults
of 30 cpp, 27 lpp, 0 margin, and 0 binding margin. Page one looked good, but
2 lines would print on the second side, and then subsequent pages were all
wrong - text starts in the middle of the line and runs over filling first
half of the next line, then next portion starts on the second half of the
next line, so it's a kind of staggered effect.
I tried changing the lines per page in the document settings, and also
experimented with the top margin, but still no better results.
I also tried to set the embosser to factory settings by holding the Group
button while powering on, but after the beep sounded and I released the
Group button, the message just said "this key has no function", so I am not
sure that any reset happened.
Should I update the firmware from 10.21?
Looking forward to any assistance. Thank you all.

Look in DBT's Global menu: Embosser Setup. Make sure your Everest is
selected, then go down to the Desired Braille Document Formatting section
and select A4 Form size there.
It will set up some defaults, so try those to begin with, and you can tweak
things if they are not correct later.
Make sure you also have the Everest selected in your Document: Embosser
Setup if you are editing an existing file.

Hello List Members,
Sorry to ask a basic newby question, but I cannot work it out and cannot
find the answer anywhere.
I am running:
Windows 7 64-bit
DBT 11.1 SR4
Everest-D V3 10.21 firmware as a generic text only device
I want to emboss on A4 portrait paper. What are the settings for characters
per line, lines per page, top margin and binding margin?
Thank you in advance for any assistance.
