John, I have seen this problem when embossing from a Braille Lite to the Blazer with no network involved, so it must not always be a problem in the bios. I believe that George is correct, but there must be other times when this thing with the extra characters happens, because the same Blazer that put extra dots on things from the Braille Lite never did it from the computer using Duxbury. So try a reset; it couldn't hurt.

And, it'll effect all of the other computers on the network. This is a problem. How should I go about fixing this? Sincerely, John sanders
