Douglas,

I doubt your problem is with Duxbury, since handshaking is controlled by either 
the printer driver or a setting in your embosser.  Try resetting the Juliet to 
factory defaults and see ifs the problem is cured.

  I suddenly experienced a new problem (see below): Duxbury doesn't seem to 
give a "hand shake" to my Juliet embosser anymore, although the embosser itself 
works with test patterns in the service menus.  I asked a guy who works at the 
facility where I live (on Sunday and Monday evenings), to investigate the 
situation, and try another embosser I have, to see whether the problem lies 
with the embosser or with Duxbury.  I'm using DBT 10.7; I can't afford 
upgrades.  I was able to emboss files without fail until tonight, when that 
function suddenly stopped.  Anyone else had this issue, where the embosser 
works with test patterns and menus, but doesn't respond to commands given from 
Word or Duxbury?  See more details below.  I hope switching to my other 
embosser will indeed provide a solution.  Thanks for your insights.

  Subject: embossing problem


  Tonight I started to notice a problem when trying to emboss a file using 
Duxbury and my Juliet embosser.  Whenever I type the emboss command on my 
computer, the file emboss dialog immediately goes away and the main window 
returns, and the embosser remains dormant and unresponsive.  I tried reloading 
paper, resetting the embosser, changing or verifying embosser setup from the 
Duxbury file, etc., but to no avail.
  I went through a user guide and tried out some print tests, and the embosser 
brailled out the selected tests or patterns found in service menu 
selections--dot patterns, graphics, etc.  The embosser itself works with those 
functions, but it has suddenly stopped responding to a command given from the 
Duxbury file.
  I wonder if sometime you can stop by and see what's going on with the 
embosser when I try to emboss a document from DBT, or maybe switch me over to 
another embosser I have, to see if the problem is with the embosser.  If the 
other embosser works, then the one that's currently plugged in has a 
malfunction.  If the one we try doesn't work either, then there's a problem 
with the Duxbury software or something.  I look forward to your help ASAP.  
Thanks.
