The Braille Lite M20-M40 User's Manual - Freedom Scientific

Printing and Embossing
Most printers use the parallel port, and most
embossers use the serial port. If you are going
to connect the Braille Lite to an embosser
through the serial port, the Status Menu (ST-
SIGN CHORD)(DOTS 3-4 CHORD) serial
parameters settings must match the settings on
the embosser.
The files in the Braille Lite Editor are plain text.
They contain no layout or character formatting
such as bold, italic, or underline. You must
format text in a document when printing or
embossing. Formatting commands - strings of
characters included in your files - affect text
layout and character appearance. The formatting
characters are not printed or embossed; instead
they instruct your printer or embosser on how to
render a document.
Status Menu Settings
There are several settings within the Status
Menu that control how documents are printed or
embossed. For basic documents, minor
adjustments to these settings may be sufficient
to provide the formatting features you want to
use.
Press ST-SIGN CHORD (DOTS 3-4 CHORD) to
open the Status Menu; then press DOTS 5-6
CHORD to move through the sections of this
