There are two aspects to this issue:
1) How is the embosser set up? 2) How do you want your braille?
Obviously, these are related questions.
I hope this answers your questions.

Thanks for the help David. We are ordering DBT 10.5. I have set the form size to be 12" narrow but I was wondering about the characters per line/lines per page settings. Should these be kept to 42/30 respectively?

I assume you are using/ordering DBT 10.5
The critical issue is the "form size". Form means your paper. In the embosser setup, set the form size to "Narrow width, 12 inch long paper". This is designed for 8.5 inch wide, 12 inch long paper.
If you have any further questions, e-mail me directly, or post them to the list.
