Hi David
Press the Help button on the embosser. It will announce the firmware
version.
Yes, the Basic-D V5 is truly wireless, but the V4 can be wireless if you use
a bridge as I mentioned. This means that you cable it to the bridge, which
then is the wireless component that interfaces with the network.

Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] jaws&Basic-d,
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.

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:

It might take a few tries to get this right. Good luck.

1, how to install the software, and add the printer dsow it shows in devices
and printers,
The second question is,
Is it possible to connect the Basic-d wirelessly?
In advance, thanks
