hello Heidi The Braille Blazer has two ports, serial and parallel. In my experience with various Braille embossers and Windows 7, I find the USB to parallel adaptors have worked the best.
Windows 7 identifies them easily. I have set up a Braille Blazer, an Index Embosser and an old Romeo. Like in Windows XP, you create a generic text printer. Check the printer ports available. Then add the USB to parallel adaptor. The new available port will be the one that should work. -----Original Message----- From: Heidi [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, June 19, 2013 9:58 AM To: Chris G Cc: Paulette Vickery; [email protected] Subject: Re: Power Braille I have a braille blaze printer and would similarly like to hook it up.
