Change your Braille software to Duxbury for Windows. This will
solve all of your problems.

> 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.
