It is my understanding that the CD-ROMs containing braille formatted files from NBP come with a program called Embossit 2.0. Embossit is written by Duxbury Systems to make the embossing of braille formatted files as easy as possible.

As part of the agreement between Duxbury Systems and National Braille Press is that it is National Braille Press's job to do tech support for the copies of Embossit that are distributed on their CD-ROMs.

Part of the idea behind Embossit is that embossing braille formatted files should be easier than dealing with the average braille project.

What is the carriage length and form length? It is the dimensions of the page already embedded in the file. Thus Embossit does not ask you page dimensions. Once you specify the file, it already knows the page dimensions.

All DBT users are welcome to emboss braille formatted files with DBT, if they choose. But you might get exactly the same result with a lot less complication just by using Embossit.
