I would not advise updating the firmware at this stage.
Do you have any contact at NZFB? I'm sure one of Neil Jarvis's staff
there would be able to give you some local Help.

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.
