Hi Jean,
I'm on the road presently but I will say your BN should work
nicely with your Thomas Embosser. You will probably need to
change settings in both pieces of equipment. I use a Juliet and
my M-power works well with it.
I'll try to help you once I am back home again. Have a busy day
tomorrow and should be asleep now (grin smile)

Subject: [Braillenote] embossing question
Okay. before you all think my comments are always negative, I
did something
new for the first time a few weeks ago, but I have some
questions.
I created a KeyWord braille file and because I had to have
complete control
over line length using hyphenation and not word-wrap, I turned
Word-wrap off
and was surprised at the bell sound as I neared the right margin.
Cool.
But when I embossed the file to my Thomas embosser using the
serial
connection, there were a few quirks I haven't yet sorted out.
Even though I
had line length set to 40, some words that should have been at
the end of a
line where the last character was in cell 40, had the last letter
missing.
Cell 40 would be cut off on the paper braille sometimes.
Also, I had lines per page set to 25, and top margin 1. But the
top line
kept coming out at the very top of the page and wasn't moved down
according
to the top margin setting.
What can I change to have the mPower control the braille output?
For those
familiar with the Thomas embossers, I happened to use menu 2
which is a
serial connection and has the title of being for the old Apple II
Superserial Cards. Ug. But since I got good braille, it seemed
good to me.
But I think I need to make a few small adjustments, but I don't
know what to
do.
Jean
