Dave,
DBT 10.4 had one approach to allowing itself to be configured for each
embosser; DBT 10.5 has a different way. DBT 10.5 uses a method that is
supposed to be more automated, and easier to understand. However, it may
not David is trying to help you bridge that gap.
Have you yet answered his question? David asked:
- If, when you try to get 25 lines interpoint, you don't get just that,
what do you get?

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
