Hi Mary Lou,
The problem is that you have a conflict between the embosser settings for
left and right margins (left margin 2, right margin 41) and the DBT setting
for maximum characters per line (44). The Maximum Characters/Line must
equal the difference of the left and right margins minus 1, and also be
greater than or equal to the Desired Characters/Line setting. To make this
happen, you can either change DBT's Maximum Characters/Line setting from 44
to 40, or change the right margin setting on your embosser to 45. I'd try
changing the embosser setting first, but I think either solution will
work. Just remember to change the embosser back to the original settings
before changing DBTW's Maximum Characters/Line setting. Let me know if you
have any problems, and I'll see if I can come up with other things to
try. Good luck.

We have recently developed problems embossing interpoint files from Duxbury. They emboss properly when using the copy command from the dos command line, but the even sides indent an extra four cells on every line when we emboss from Duxbury. When we first started using this computer/software combination there were no problems.
The computer is a Dell with Windows 2000. We are using Duxbury 10.4, with a build date of May 31, 2002. Our IT people have completely removed and reinstalled Duxbury and the problem persists.
Following are the settings within Duxbury: Maximum number of cells -- 44 Maximum number of lines -- 27 Desired number of cells -- 40 Desired number of lines -- 25 Top margin -- 0 Binding margin -- 0 Treat as interpoint Use com2 [the proper serial cable is in place]
The embosser is a Braille Expresss 150. Margins are set as recommended in their manual for interpoint embossing: Left margin -- 2 Right margin -- 41
As I mentioned above, when using the copy command, the even sides start brailling in the correct cell. The problem only occurs when embossing from within Duxbury. I have tried new and old files and have the same problem. I have checked for codes and there are no unusual codes, either at the beginning of the document or at the beginning of page 2.
Where do you suggest I look next?
