Hello George:
I believe that dbt is including the top margin as another line to be
deducted from the total number of lines for each side of the page. I
personally think that DBT it is counting its tomp margin of 1 in
addition to the top margin of 1 that is set in the embosser settings,
thus making a top margin of 2.
As I said in my original E-mail, with the line spacing set to 5.2 or
5.3 in the Index, with the top and bottom margin set to zero, the
embosser says that it can emboss a maximum of 26 lines of braille on
each side of the page.
I do not think that the problem is with the Index Basic-D, I think the
problem is with DBT 10.5 and how it determines the number of lines
that are to be sent to the embosser for each side of the page.
I had no problem sending 25 interpoint lines of braille text to the
embosser up to and including DBT 10.4. This is why I do not think
that the problem lies with the embosser.
Sincerely:
Dave Durber
