<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">If you are talking about embossing across the perf between pages, generally you need to set the number of lines per page to 25, top margin to 1, and make sure skip perf is turned on.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">If you are talking about embossing over the perf for the tractor feed on the sides, you’ll need to adjust your left or right margins and probably your characters per line settings as well. I usually have my
left margin set to 2, but that may vary depending on your embosser.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">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?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
