Hi Lisa
To change the line length from 40 to 30 characters, go in to the
embosser setup and do it there as you suggested.
After you have translated the 40 character per line file, go back to
the dxp file, change the embosser setup and retranslate with the
shorter line length. I find it helpful to put something in the
filename to tell me how many characters per line the file has so I
don't have to go check all all the time.

Subject: [duxuser] two types of braille documents.
Hi everyone,
I have a question for everyone. I have been transcribing the Braille
Edition of the 2004 National Federation of the Blind Deaf-Blind
Division Agenda that will be printed on both types of Braille paper.
The default format, is set for 40 characters per line with 25 lines
per page and is saved as a formatted .brf format after translating the
file. I want to take the same Duxbury file and translate it using the
smaller paper for embossing. Do I have to go into the Braille printer
settings to change it for the 30 characters per line with 25 lines per
page? I don't know what printer or whether it will be printed on both
sides of the page. I want to set this up as a standard format so no
matter what printer is used whether it be interprint or single-sided
or whether it's the wide or narrow paper that it would be set up for
that. I don't know what Braille translation will be set up and
whether the agency at Colorado Center for the Blind uses Duxbury. I
am assuming that they use that program since I am trying very hard to
comply with NLS standards and following the BANA codes for formatting.
It is my understanding that there is no standard format for setting up
a format for agendas especially for a national convention such as
National Federation of the Blind in Atlanta, Georgia from June 29
through July 5, 2004. Next year our convention will be back in
Louisville, Kentucky at the Galt House.
I look forward to hearing from everyone soon.
