I'm trying to print a file in DBT with a BT and every time I try to print, there are no capital signs, and the punctuation marks that are there are written in computer braille. Any help in fixing this problems would be appreciated.

Are you sure you've set it to American/English Braille (or whichever it is you want)? Sounds like you could be in the wrong code... or do you have some rogue style around your text?

I'm having a similar problem I think. I'm using a Romeo Braile printer to emboss, and weirdly, it doesn't have a choice for brailling in Grade 2. It only has for Grade 1, computer braille, and I think something else, but no Grade 2. So when I Brailled something, Duxbury translated the file into Grade 2, but on the printer, it brailled it all wrong by not picking up on it. I know this is a tiny bit off topic, but would anyone know if there is a way to program Grade 2 into Romeo? Or, if not, how would I change Duxbury's translating thing, like to get it to translate to computer Braille?

OK. I think I somewhat figured it out. I had Duxbury translate it to Grade 0. So now it's at least readable. I still wish there were a way of getting my printer to do Grade 2, but even if I were to have Duxbury do it, like before, the Braille printer won't braille it properly. Oh well. Unless there's some kind of way to program Grade 2 into the Romeo, I may have to live with Grade 1 for awhile until when I ever get the money to buy a better Brailler. But if there is a way of changing the Romeo, let me know. *smiles*
