[duxuser] Question about margins

Hello all, I am pretty new to using DBT and brailing. Currently I am only
doing small projects like class handouts and tests. I am just translating
and embossing with little or no changes. I realize this is not the best way,
but my student can understand it, and I am too buried in other work to spend
the time to learn all the tricks at once. I'll be doing a lot of reading
over the summer to learn more.

My question has to do with margins. I am not sure if I can fix this in DBT,
or if it is in the Index Basic D embosser. 

I seem to get 2 or 3 pages at the top of each document. When I hit the
emboss command it pulls a couple pages back, but then it also pushes them
back through before it starts embossing. I usually end up with one of my
pages tearing right through a line of Braille. If I disconnect the paper
from the track and bring it all the way out before I start to emboss, then
it will put my first line right at the very top of the page, usually within
about 1/4" of the top, but at least it doesn't cut any lines in half with
the pages.

Can any of you tell me what I'm doing wrong, and how to fix it? Also, can
you tell me if there is any kind of resource like this one by the company
who makes the Index embosser? I haven't been able to find one, but it would
be very helpful I'm sure.

Thanks for any assistance you can give.
