[Athen] Braille printing formatting issues

[Gracie Sheets via athen-list]

Hi all,

I am new to braille printing/embossing and I'm running into an issue with
formatting. I am using the ViewPlus Max Embosser to emboss and Duxbury
Braille Translation software to translate the braille. The issue I'm
running into is that the braille is punching down across the perforated
lines, rendering the embossed pages useless (attaching a picture below of
two pages of braille where the braille is embossed along the perforation).
I have tried adjusting the line spaces in DBT, but it doesn't seem to make
a difference. I am aware there is supplemental software you can purchase to
accompany the ViewPlus Max Embosser, but it's an additional cost and I'm
not sure that will be the fix I need. Does anyone have any insight on why
this may be happening?

Thank you for your help,

Gracie Sheets
