Embossing<br />

Most printers use the parallel port, and most<br />

embossers use the serial port. If you are going to<br />

connect the <strong>Type</strong> <strong>Lite</strong> to an embosser through the<br />

serial port, the Status menu (F10 F10 F10) F10 serial parameters<br />

settings must match those on the embosser.<br />

<strong>The</strong> files in the <strong>Type</strong> <strong>Lite</strong> Editor are plain text. <strong>The</strong>y<br />

contain no layout or character level formatting<br />

information such as bold, italic, or underline. You<br />

must specify within the document how certain text is<br />

Formatting commands - strings of characters<br />

included in your files - affect text layout and<br />

character appearance. <strong>The</strong> formatting characters are<br />

not printed or embossed; they just provide<br />

instructions to your printer or embosser on how to<br />

render the document.<br />
