[Athen] Braille printing formatting issues

[Joshua Hori via athen-list]

Have you set your global settings in DBT yet? My guess is that it’s referencing the default global settings which has nothing in the left margin value.

It’ll look like this:
[Global: Embosser Setup: Device Settings]

Sounds like you need to adjust your left margin. Mine was usually set at 2, but you may need to adjust for your embosser.

Best,

Hi Gracie,

Have you tried changing the margin size? You might also add a page break to see if that helps. Try adjusting the paper size and margins on the printer settings. Without knowing all of you settings, it makes it hard to trouble shoot. Hope this helps.


Sincerely,

Helen

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
