Neal, got a question. Decided to read over your message again since I'm not
suscribed at home. You wrote:
you will either edit your set up or choose NEW
once this is done still under the GENERAL TAB under EMBOSSER SETUP
The above is under Embosser setup in Duxbury right? I don't remember seeing
New there ...
select the first radio button SEND TO PRINTER
then tab to the list box and you should see the BRAILLER printer
name you set up under Windows. select this
click ok.
Now complete this change in DBT WIN under the DOCUMENT>EMBOSSER SETUP as
well!
And send to printer? This is still under Global in Duxbury, right?
Thanks,
Deb B.
Hope this helps some,

I know of quite a few people with new computers that only have USB ports
that are using Windows XP along with a USB - Parallel cable.
The USB end goes into the computer the parallel end goes into the embosser.
But, you must set this up under WINDOWS.
This MUST BE DONE BEFORE THE OTHER STUFF.
In Windows
Go to CONTROL PANEL
then PRINTERS
then ADD
then GENERIC
set it up for the USB port and name it something obvious like BRAILLER.
Once this is all set up then go into DBT WIN
then go to the GLOBAL MENU
then EMBOSSER SETUP
then you will either edit your set up or choose NEW
once this is done still under the GENERAL TAB under EMBOSSER SETUP
select the first radio button SEND TO PRINTER
then tab to the list box and you should see the BRAILLER printer
name you set up under Windows. select this
click ok.
Now complete this change in DBT WIN under the DOCUMENT>EMBOSSER SETUP as
well!
Hope this helps some,
Neal

Hi Deb,
The best people to answer your first question about spare
slots, is your computer supplier. And while you are at it,
you might mention that it was "supposed" to have a parallel
port.
As regards cost, parallel cards in the UK cost around £10 -
£15, so I'd guess about $15 - $25 of green folding paper
would cover it.
Your supplier should be able to fit it easily enough, but
will charge, unless he's apologising for failing to provide
you with the required parallel port he should have supplied.
George.
