Hello PPhyllis. Before I list the settings, a bit about menus. there are
sixteen of them. You can create different settings in each menu and you can
tell the versapoint duo which menu to use aas a default. Menus control
configurations. I use configuration 1 I.e. Menu 1. To get into it, put the
versapoint duo off line and from the keypad, press 0.1#
The # or pound key is the bottom right key of the keypad and the . is the
bottom left hand key on the keypad.
To view configuration 1's parameters, enter menu 1 and type 1.r# where r is
the read key. The parameters will be embossed for you. If you have speech
things may work a little differently.
Here are the settings in order.
1 menu 1- ibm
2 active data port parallel
3 baud rate 2400
4 data bits 7
5 stop bits 1
6 parity even
7 com. mode ASCII
printer busy is dtr high when read host busy is cts
9 six dot braille
10 word wrap off
11 perf skip on
12 paper out detector off (be careful with this one, I turned it off because
I had problems getting a false paper out error. If you turn this off, be
sure you are near the embosser. You don't want it to run out of paper and
keep embossing because this could cause damage.
13 audo line feed off
14 right margin 40
15 left margin 1
16 emboss control characters off
17 lines per page 27
18 page length 11.0 inches
19 multistrike count 1
20-21 control table contains cr
22 hot zone off
23 recognize escape sequences
24 vconsole bell point 0
25 speech on speak escape sequences
26 local echo off
27 braille format six dot computer
28 screen dump mode off
29 character set usa no extended character set
30 top of form offset 2
31 ignore eight bit
32 auto print setting 0
33 interpoint mode
34 paper grade 0
35 regular size
36 voice 0
Here are the duxbury settings I use
Brailler Versapoint Duo
Treat as interpoint embosser is checked
emboss banner page is not checked
maximum characters per line 40
brailler goes to new line when filled is not checked
maximum lines per page 27
brailler goes to new page when filled is not checked
desired characters per line 40 (if using narrower paper, decrease this
setting)
desired lines per page 26
top margin in lines 0
binding margin in characters 0
lpt1
the last setting will vvary depending on how your embosser is connected.
I hope these settings work for you. I've been using them for about nine
months now.
The manual is very good and describes exactly how to set everything. It also
tells you how to reset the system and how to print not only entire menus but
individual parameters.
Good luck to you and enjoy using the versapoint duo.
One last thing, there is a rocker switch that needs to be in the left
position to allow you to emboss interpoint.

Hi, Mr. Hunt,
I would appreciate you sending those settings to me. I'm still reading
the manual and am trying to figure out which menu to go into to do the
necessary configurations. I know the service menu is for the speech
settings, most of them anyway.
I'm thankful that we Duxusers are able to help each other in this manner,
even though we don't know each other personally. I'll get back later.
Take care and God Bless. So long for just a while.
Phyllis

Hello Phyllis. I use a Versapoint Duo and will pass my settings along to
you this evening. I have to do some Brailling later today. I assume that you
are using11 by 11 and a half paper. I'll pass along the duxbury settings as
well. Once you get things configured correctly, you'll love it.

I'm a brand new user of DBT, and I have a Versapoint Duo Braille
embosser. I would like to know if I should configure my embosser to
computer Braille to have it emboss in Grade II. If anybody has a versapoint
Duo out there, please help me.
Also, If I wanted to print a Braille file off the internet, should I
copy and paste it into the DBT Win?
