Good afternoon Jean; Thanks for the response, Well, my question was on behalf of a client, yes, I assume she has the memory stick, In fact she says she'll have it the next time we connect, How, do I find out which version of basic-d she has? As you can tell, I have little experience with the braille printer installation. Someone told me the Basic-d version 5 is the only one which can go wireless.
Again thanks for your help. Statistics are like a bikini. What they reveal is suggestive, but what they conceal is vital. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jean Menzies Sent: Sunday, April 30, 2017 1:06 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] jaws&Basic-d, Hi David, I assume you have the memory stick that comes with the Basic-D that contains the manual and drivers. If not, go to the manufacturer website at: http://www.indexbraille.com You can also check for newer firmware and download that as well. In order to install firmware updates, you also need the ibPrint software. It's all on the site. The site is a bit of a bear IMO, but check under downloads. You simply run the driver software program, and it will install. Then you define the embosser in DBT or whichever software you are using. It works well with a USB connection. For wireless connection, you will need a WI-FI bridge. You connect the bridge to your network, and then connect the embosser to the bridge. You can then set the port in the embosser to a static settings so that you don't lose it with power outages, etc. I don't have directions for the bridge setup, as we did it once a long time ago. I have to do it again, but have to find directions for our Bufalo bridge. It's rather painful. Once you have the bridge configured for your network, follow the printer installation here: http://www.indexbraille.com/en-us/support/knowledge-base/network/setup-a-tcp -ip-port-to-an-index-embosser It might take a few tries to get this right. Good luck.
