Hi Jean,
Unless someone has some other suggestions, my first guess
would be that the BIOS of your computer is not set for SPP
(Standard Parallel Port). (Or, if it is a fairly new
embosser, it could be the opposite and need to be set for
EPP or ECP)
Unfortunately access to BIOS with speech is not possible, so
you will need sighted assistance. Likewise access to the
BIOS and the BIOS itself is not common to all systems. That
said some PC's, like my Toshiba here, do provide a Windows
program which can make changes to BIOS.
George.

Hello George
I've tried several scenarios. I imported a Word document
and got the garbage at the top where the blank line should
be. That was a one page document.
Then I created a document directly in DBT with the same
results. I made sure this one would extend more than one
braille page, and I found that the second page was good and
had no garbage characters at the top. The first page had the
same characters as the other document.
