Good question, Carol. I just had to redo the work.

I wonder if they save to a temp file which is still available after a
lockup? (A long shot and the answer is probably "No"!)

So, Jim. Sorry you lost your work with the freeze. I can relate as
that just happened to me.
No one from HumanWare or on the list attempted to answer my question on
that subject, though. Although I had been saving my work often with the
S-cord command, I lost everything when I had to use the simple reset
button to get out of the frozen state. The only save that was
recognized was the much earlier point where I had exited the KeyWord
application with E-cord. So, why bother with periodic S-cord saves if
they don't really save the work in the event of a system lock-up?

Rhonda, Kathy and list,
I'm facing this same situation only as it applies to embossing
documents. I may need to read that section.
I was editing a newsletter for embossing. While working on it last
night, the "freeze bug" decided to visit me. Perhaps it had to find a
new place since a number of you have run the patch. I was stuck in
the page column and line information and couldn't get out no matter
what I tried to do. My only option was to hit the reset button.
Needless to say, I lost two hours of work. Luckily, most of my
efforts dealt with formatting. I would really have been mad had I
written the document from scratch. I recovered much of my work last
night and finished everything up tonight. I will probably transfer
the document over to my BN classic which has the parallel port and
I'll be able to emboss from there I hope! What a pain! I hope to
have the necessary interface by the time I do this newsletter again.
Keep us posted!
Jim Aldrich

Kathy, first of all, in looking at the manual, it says that this
discussion is outside the scope of the user guide, for what that's
worth. USB is now the universal standard for connecting to printers.
Plug the USB printer into one of your BrailleNote BT USB host ports,
and select USB as your printer port.
Though the BrailleNote mPower no longer has a parallel port, it is
possible to use a printer or embosser that only has a parallel
connecter. Using an Inside Out Networks -- Edgeport/421
multi-interface converter, you can print to a parallel printer or
embosser by plugging in the USB cable of the converter to the BN BT,
and the parallel cable of the printer into the converter hub.
This requires a special driver to work on the BN. No software is
required to be downloaded for this. There is more information on this
in section 6.8.6. Good luck.

Subject: [Braillenote] Printers and the mPower
Hi, List and Humanware staff,
What printers have you mPower users used successfully with your
mPower? If they were not a USB printer, have you had success with the
USB to parallel converter cables?
I will need such a cable to use with my Epson printer, and
wondered if they're workable.
I could connect the mPower to the Canon printer my husband uses,
via the USB port, but unfortunately it was not supported by the mPower
even in the standard setting, hence the need to try my Epson. We have
a third printer but it's also a Canon.
Thanks for your help.
Kathy (still enjoying using my mPower)
