<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>
