Well, I finally got my Braille Blazer working. I'm using the parallel port and that seemed to fix the problem. Anyway, I downloaded Picturebraille and loaded a graphic to print straight to the embosser, but when I tried to emboss, it came out as a bunch of braille cells, line after line. Is the Blazer capaable of receiving graphics directly or do I need to use Duxbury to do it? In either case, how do I convert the graphic into one that is ready to be made into a tactile image? Can you recommend another graphics program for me to try? Also, every time I set top-of-form on the Blazer, it wastes a page. I know there's a way to get it to not do that but what is it? If I tell it that it's at the top-of-form and then move the paper back, how far should I move it so that it doesn't miss the paper when printing? Thanks for all your help.
