[Athen] Braille printing formatting issues

Gracie, if you have not solved your problem with all the good suggestions, you should feel free to call Duxbury support for help. ViewPlus support is also approachable, but this is a Duxbury issue.

By the way, the ViewPlus TSS software does not require paying more money. It is bundled with your embosser. If you are using TSS instead of Duxbury and have troubles, both the good people on this list and ViewPlus support can help.

Subject: [Athen] Braille printing formatting issues

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,
