I can confirm two issues that we need to deal with:

1) As I gathered the list of embosser escape sequences, I did not realize that the sequences
we designate as "Braille 270" are also used by older Braillo 200 and Braillo 400 units with older ROMs.

2) I misunderstood the exact meaning of the specifications for the Braille 270.

Therefore, I can confirm that "generic" is the best setting for Braillo 200/400 with old ROMs for the time being. We have re-written the driver for the Braillo 270 based on new information from the very helpful people of Braillo.

I am sorry for the difficulties caused by all of this. We are grateful that "generic" works as well as it does. You can be sure that the next service release will untangle this problem.

May I also suggest that Duxbury Systems tech support (phone or e-mail) is the best way to resolve this or any any other embosser problem. While the duxuser list has had many tech support questions and answers, this list was never intended as an avenue for tech support on DBT.

Hi Jake,

It's possible that, if yours is an older Braillo 400, it is not compatible with the codes that Duxbury is sending. Try selecting Generic as the embosser model.

Hi George,

Thanks for your reply. It's the latest version of the DBT demo (we're looking into whether we can use it or not). But its connected via Serial - this is because the embosser was built before there was a parallel connection.

Hi Jake,

What version of Duxbury are you using? How is the Braille connected? Serial or Parallel?

If it is Parallel, then I suspect you may need to change the BIOS Parallel Port setting to SPP (Standard Parallel Port).

George.

Hello,

I am trying to get duxbury to work with the Braillo 400S embosser but am having a few problems. It embosses the document correctly apart from there is a short piece of unwanted braille code - 5 cells - embossed at the beginning. Also, no matter that all the settings in duxbury and on the embosser are initially set to single line spacing, it changes the Braillo settings to double line spacing and so the document is produced double line spaced. Has anyone any suggestions?

Help gratefully received

Jake Kyle
