Actually I’d suggest calling the supplier. If APH can’t solve it, I’m sure
Viewplus (who manufacture them anyway) will know exactly what to do.

I thought it had something to do with interpoint also, but when I switched it
to single sided, the 3rd and 4th, 7th and 8th, etc. pages still print last line
first including the braille page number, continuing thru to the first line from
the page brailled as the last. Formatting is still in place and the braille
cells are oriented right side up with each line reading correct left to right,
just each line reverse ordered. I'm not an IT expert by any stretch, but this
is one weird glitch.

Hi Patricia,
I don’t know the Pixblaster, but what you describe sounds almost like a feature
Index embossers have where every second page was printer upside down, so to
speak.
The idea was that if you were embossing single sided on continuous sprocket fed
paper, you only had to break on the paper’s horizontal perforations, and could
do so with a paper knife.

Interesting is one way to describe it, although I will admit a couple of other
words have crossed my mind 😄

What an interesting problem. Please post what Duxbury tells you!

Not sure if this is the correct place to ask but I'm wondering if anyone else
is having these problems. Once I've added the Pixblaster as a New Embosser, I
click "Modify" the PixBlaster in the Duxbury embosser settings and choose
ViewPlus Columbia under the "General" Tab. If I click "Add a New Embosser" and
choose ViewPlus Columbia, I can't get anything to emboss, but that's not my
issue. When I translate and emboss as interpoint a file, every 3rd and 4th, 7th
and 8th, 11th and 12th, etc. pages are reversed. And what I mean is, line 25
becomes line 1, line 24 is embossed as line 2, line 23 is line 3, and so on.
The individual lines themselves are correct but in order to read those pages
you'd have to start from the bottom and read up. Thanks for any suggestions,
and I am calling Duxbury first thing tomorrow.
