Hello George Bell, First, thanks for your interest! > First, can you tell me if you are blind please? No, I' am. > 1) Can you tell me how you have the ELEKUL connected to the PC. Yes. > Is it with Parallel Connection or Serial? Serial. >And are you quite sure you are using the correct cable? I use the original cable from the vendor (1) (1) Katholieke Universiteit Leuven Afdeling ESAT-T.E.O.

The way I usually do this, is to go into a DOS Window, and at the Command prompt, I send a simple text file to the port. I use a DOS Braille translator program (PCB) from the same vendor and that work with ELEKUL Also, I receive from the vendor a dos program, PRINT55. This program print in DOS a text file. I try it, under Windows (DOS session) with success. For information, with DBT, this program is asking to generate a temporize file that is after sending to printing under the embosser. And on this way, impossible to print.
