hi Linda,
I'm pasting a quick set of what that keypad is used for. As you go through
this, take note of how to reset the embosser to factory defaults. I suggest
that as a starting point. Then when you have done that, set it to use menu 1
as the default on startup. At least that's a typical choice for a PC. The
instructions for that are given. Then when you first put the paper in the
embosser, you must set top of form. Again, this tells you how. From then,
any settings should be done through Duxbury itself for lines per page, etc.
Have you properly defined your embosser under Global embosser settings and
set it up as a Windows generic printer?
Below is the listing for the embosser keypad values.
Quick Guide to Enabling Braille Embossers
1) Prepare document. Translate documents for 40 or 30 cells
across (depending on paper) and 25 lines down. Thomas, Marathon,
Romeo 25, Romeo Pro 50 & Romeo Classic are single-sided. ET, all
Juliets, BookMaker, & Braille Express are interpoint (Braille on
both sides at once).
2) Install Braille paper and connect to computer. Position paper
in tractors under left clamp and partially under main embosser
area, as far left as is practical. Connect embosser to
(preferably) computer's parallel port and turn on the power.
3) Reset embosser to factory defaults (if you're not sure how it
was last used)
OL Off-line
0.0E Service Menu
95E Reset
1E Exit Service Menu
4) Adjust margins in embosser settings. Important for interpoint!
Makes Braille emboss in correct left-to-right position on paper.
OL Off-line
0.1E Enter Menu #1
30.03E Typical Braille top margin
(.03 means three-tenths of an inch)
23.1E Recognize ESCAPE sequences
(essential for graphics & does not harm text)
15.01E Left margin
14.40E Right margin for wide paper
OR
14.30E Right margin for narrow paper
(8.5 by 11 inches)
1.1E Reset embosser & use these settings
5) Set top-of-form. Makes Braille start in the same place on
each sheet of paper.
OL Off-line
2E Embosser finds top of form & resets, ready to run
6) Copy document from DOS prompt to parallel port:
c:\>COPY MYFILE.BRF LPT1:
Multi-Copy
Make a lot of copies of the same document. Run a complete test
file first to check format. Then stay ON-LINE and enter:
3.0E Activate multi-copy mode
Copy document from computer to embosser. After document copies
completely to embosser, enter (while still ON-LINE):
3.1E Tell embosser that copying is complete and
4.nNE Tell embosser to print "nn" copies of document.
"NN" is a number, 1 to 99
Other Options in Multi-Copy
3.2E Halts printing at end of current copy
3.4E Suspend multi-copy at top of next sheet then
3.5E Resume multi-copy where you left off (after 3.4E)
Menus: There are 16, but Menu #1 is most used because it's for
an IBM PC with a parallel port.
0.NE Places you in menu #N (1 through 16)
1.1E Exits & makes this menu current
Menu Settings (all items in all 16 menus)
1.0E Default to this menu on power up
1.1E Exit this menu and use it now

table

GRAPHICS use 23.1E).
24.NE Set bell position to N
25.NE (Optional) ET Speaks (0=off, 1=on-DEFAULT, 3=on
but
no multi-copy countdown)
26.NE Local echo. (0 = off, 1 = on)

column)
29.NNE Alpha character set (0=none, 1=IBM 437, 2=IBM 850,
3=Spain, 4=France 5=Italy 6=Portugal) (0=USA,
1=Spain, 2=Germany,3=Swiss, 4=Denmark,
5=Austria, 6=France, 7=Italy).
30.NNE Top-of-Form offset to NN. (1/10 inch increments)
31.NE Eight bit character handling. (0=print 8 bit chrs,
1=ignore eighth bit, 2=print space, 3=discard)
