Hi Theresa,

 

Missed you when I called back.

 

Set your Basic (NOT Duxbury) up for 42 characters per line, then try
the 30 character test again.

 

George.

Subject: [duxuser] Setting Up Index Basic D with Duxbury: Urgent Help
Needed

 

Hi All

 

I'm setting up an Index Basic D with firmware 12, and am using
Duxbury.

 

I'm having great problems with getting the right paper length and
width.

 

I'm using the A4 tractor feed paper.  On my previous Index Basic D
embosser I used to have the paper set to narrow width, 12 inches long
in Duxbury.  I had 30 characters across and (I think) either 26 or 27
lines.

 

The Index Basic D that I'm setting up now seems to have a lot more
choice of paper lengths and widths.

 

The biggest problem I'm having is setting the paper width and
characters per line on the embosser.

 

I've got the paper width at 8 and a half inches, gives 35 characters
per line.  On page 2 (reverse side of the paper) the lines are
starting about a quarter of the way across and therefore the line of
braille isn't fitting, so the end of what should be on one line goes
onto the next line and starts right at the edge, i.e. on the tractor
feed.

 

I've got the paper length at 11 and 2 thirds inches, gives 29 lines
per page.

 

Can someone help me with this, because I haven't a clue what I need to
do next.
