6.6 Embossing a Group of Documents.
You may wish to emboss or print all documents with a certain group of characters in their names.
To accomplish this, wild card characters can be included in a document name. For details of wild
card use, refer to 15.14 Groups of Files and Wild Cards.
As an example, entering the document name "NOTES," followed by the single character wild card,
which is ?, would cause all these documents to be selected:
NOTES1;
NOTES2;
NOTES3.
You can also emboss or print all the documents in one folder. To do this, proceed as for a single
document, but at the document name prompt, press *, which is the multi-character wild card.
Remember that HELP provides a convenient list of the options available.
6.7 The Embosser Set-up List.
When you first connect an embosser or printer to the BrailleNote QT, you should review the
embosser/printer set-up list and change any settings as necessary. You need to know about the paper
size, the type of feed, and so on. If you plan to use an embosser with a serial interface, you will also
need to know its serial communications parameters before you can complete the setup.
Once you have set up KeySoft for the embosser the first time, it is strongly recommended that you
emboss a test document as described in 6.9 Testing the Embosser.
To check or change the Embosser Set-up List, start at the "Emboss or Set-Up?" prompt and press
S for Set up. KeySoft prompts: "Embosser Set-Up List."
To move along the list without changing values, press SPACE or ADVANCE repeatedly. To move
back along the list without changing values, press BACK or BACKSPACE repeatedly. You can
change settings by entering an appropriate new setting and pressing ENTER. The items in the
Embosser Set-up List are as follows:
These two prompts are for the length and the width of the paper used in the embosser, measured in
embossed lines and cells. Typical values are 25 and 40, but if you are not absolutely sure, use the
test document described in 6.9 Testing the Embosser to determine what these settings should be.
