Hi Jim,
Thanks. Yes, I was wondering about the 30 Top Offset value but I didn't
know how to change it. I'll work on that tomorrow as it's a busy day today.
I normally have let Duxbury control my PC braille so don't have much
experience with getting into these Thomas menus.
I'll let you know how it goes.
Jean

Jean,
Try setting your Thomas on option 30 to five. Go to menu two in the usual
way, key in 30.5 and 1.1 enter. Make sure the lines per page are set to
25. I think that's option 17, I'm not certain of this. I think this
should solve your problem. Keep embosser and BN on 40 characters a line.
Jim

How could setting the right margin to 38 preserve a 40-cell line?
In this
case, I had explicit instructions that line length must be 40 and
lines per
page 25.
I had trouble because in Duxbury proper, the page number appears
on the
first line of text but at the right top corner. But when
embossing with the
BN, the page number was calculated on a line by itself. So, I
was trying to
have 25 lines of text plus 1 blank line above with the page
number, and a
blank line at the bottom.

Hello,
Try setting the right margin to 2 and instead of 40 characters,
set it to
38 and see if that works.
As far as the top margin, try setting the line length to 24 and
if
necessary, set the top margin to 2.
Hth,
Robert Stigile

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.
