Terry, you could always get a bluetooth dongle for your embosser. That way you can use the MPower's in built bluetooth and connect to your embosser that way. I think Humanware sells one for about $50 (£25 here in the UK), but then again this may depend on whether Humanware sells the correct dongle for your embosser. Hope this helps.
