Subject: [duxuser] braille buddy embosser or emBraille question
Hi,
I just got a braille buddy embosser which is similar to the emBraille. I am
having some software issues and its probably me doing something wrong. First,
when using tiger software suite in word, the header pageNumber gets translated
but the braille page number on bottom right does not. Next, all text is pushed
to the left-hand side of the page for some reason. Not sure if I should check
simplify document in tiger word addon preferences? I just got this printer to
emboss the occasional tactile graphic, some church readings here and there,
bank statements, address lists, small embossing jobs. But stuff that would take
a good while to emboss with a slate or perkins brailler. The braille buddy even
embosses on plastic permabraille or 8.5x11 inch thermoform sheets. I am only
using the single sheet feeder as I do not have the space for a big box of
tractor feed paper. So single sheets work fine. The embosser otherwise is very
reliable and has not jammed yet. Oh one other thing. I managed to feed those
smaller 3x5 or so index cards into the embosser but I have to press paper
advance to get it to feed in as it does not sense the card when inserting it.
How do I feed it in, but not to far just enough so I can set paper size and
start embossing at the top of the index card?
If you want to email me off list about this, my email is:

I will write it out a different way now to make sure it gets through…
