Yes, there have been issues with the Index 4x4.
I made many assumptions about the Index 4x4 in the past. I visited Sighted
Electronics in NJ (USA) September 2005 to learn more about it. Based on
that visit, I made radical changes to how the Index 4x4 has been supported
in DBT. These changes abandoned non-folio output and focused on folio
output only.
When we tried to support non-folio output, we had problems. I have some
e-mails into Index in Sweden and hope to better support the Index 4x4 for
all of its modes.
If you can tell me if you have had success with DBT and non-folio output,
that might help me quite a bit.

Hello all,
I went through a series of e-mails concerning problems with 4X4 pro
embossers and I understand that David Holaday is about to make some
changes in the emb.elt file to fix them. Hoping this will help, heres my
feedback on what we have observed since installing 10.6.
Whilst we had no problem embossing with 10.5 using 12_n for A4 paper, with
30 characters per line AND 27 lines per page, we have observed that the
corresponding 12_n form no longer exists in the new emb.elt file. Instead,
we have to use
Form "A4_folio", where the parameters don't appear to be correct. They read
Form "A4_folio" = 83 x 117; DoublePage ; 22 x 20 ; 20 x 20
instead of what we had with 10.5 which was
Form "12_n" = 85 x 120 ; SinglePage ; 34 x 30 ; 32 x 28
or
Form "12_w" = 115 x 120 ; SinglePage ; 42 x 30 ; 40 x 28
Could the 12_n (and maybe the 12_w also) form be restored with the right
parameters in order to ensure compatibility with 10.5 ? Or could the
parameters for "A4_folio" be corrected to get back to what we had with the
equivalent paper size ?
Besides, I don't know if there is any connexion between the two problems,
but with 10.6, when we use the same template based on a format of 30
characters and 27 lines on all our computers, we systematically get a
message saying :
Ce document formaté pour papier de taille " 12_n ", sur une embosseuse non
définie (" Embosseuse par défaut ").
Corriger ceci dans la boîte de dialogue " configuration de l'embosseuse "
du menu " Document " ; vous devez choisir une embosseuse et une taille de
papier d'au moins 27 lignes et 30 caractère pour éviter le reformatage du
document.
(see screenshot in attachment). this mesage is misleading because it
suggests that the document is ill-formated, which is not correct, so it
should be either removed or modified as a warning rather than an error message.
Best regards
Yves
