Hi George,
What happens with the output from a Porta Thiel if the parallel port is set to
"ECP" rather than "SPP"?
Could that explain Christine's problems or would she get no braille at all?
Incidentally, the embosser is the one I bought from you in April 1998. I also
passed on my copy of Cipher.
However, I didn't pass on my copy of DBT as, having never actually paid you for
it, I didn't think I had the right of true ownership.
Regards.
Ian

Hi Christine,
I suspect the program you have is "Cipher", (Note the spelling) produced by
Dolphin Systems.
They should be able to advise you if the version you have will work on
Windows XP. However knowing the Porta-Thiel extremely well, I'm almost 99%
certain the problems you are experiencing are down the Cipher itself.

Subject: [access-uk] Braille Embosser problems?
Hi I have just recently aquired an 8 year-old Portafiel embosser and Siffer.
My embosser brailles ok but:
Problem:
There are no paragraphs showing in my braille, either indentation or line
space would be fine.
Every so often I find the word par amongst my braill for no reason.
Dots 5 and 6 appear in front of what might be thought as capital letters.
There is No letter sign in my postal code. I don't see a braille numeral sign
in front of my numbers.
My braille runs out on the right hand side.
Now I seem to be having problems making the embosser work and it just says
"Embossing complete" when I haven't got anything from it. This is another
attempt to emboss the same piece and the dots are already on screen, should I
cancel it? If so How?
I have sighted help on hand but Alas we cannot solve these Many problems,
anyone know what I am doing wrong?
I am using jaws 6.0 and xp home. Siffer is windows 95 could this be a
possible cause?
Am I right in thinking jaws has its own programm I can use instead of Siffer?
Thanks for Any help you can offer,
frustrated,
Christine W.
