Ottawa Canada Dear Joleen:
Far as I know, the Blazer just dutifully embosses what it is sent through its serial or parallel port, whichever is selected as the active port. So if the first page of the second or third copy of a document bears a 7 instead of a 1, then the BrailleNote is probably putting that 7 there and for reasons best known to itself, suppressing further page numbering until it prints the first page of the document again with a 7 as its page number. If turning off the Blazer remedies this problem, it is because when the BrailleNote senses the printer is off, probably because the printer has dropped its DSR handshake signal, the BrailleNote is doing something that resets the page numbering of the document to insert the correct page number. When you turn on the Blazer, it will start with a clean, empty, buffer and if its bit rate, parity, stop bits and flow control are set the same as the BrailleNote that is sending it, the buffer should not be overrun, resulting in gibberish being embossed, or portions of the document going missing in action. It appears you have discovered a very interesting bug in the Braille embossing program of the BrailleNote. Sounds like a case for a phone call to tech support is in order. Have you observed the same problem when printing to an ink printer via the serial port? Sorry for the tech talk in this post, but if you forward it together with your description of the problem to Mickey Quenzer or one of the other techs at Humanware, they will hopefully know what I am talking about. I think Mickey will as he has been involved in PCs and tech support almost forever. Good luck. Brian -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
