Dear all,
We have an Index embosser and are currently using
Robotron's BrailleMaster to produce braille locally from
a PC in the library.
What we would like to do is set the embosser up as a
network printer (connected to an HP Jet Direct card).
This would allow us to move it to a less noise-sensitive
area and make embossing easier and more accessible to
staff and student users.
Unfortunately we've run in to a couple of difficulties
and I was hoping someone would have some advice as to how
to overcome these problems or possibly suggest an
alternative route. They are:
1) The BrailleMaster software doesn't appear (at least as
far as I can find) to have a setting to specify a
non-local printer. This, therefore, rules out network
printing directly from BrailleMaster.
2) Converting a text file to braille and then "nprint"ing
from DOS works but without the BrailleMaster software to
interpret the braille file all the control codes, page
breaks etc. are output as a stream of dots.
