Changing (and Restoring) Menu Settings
Because Braille embossers need to work with many different kinds of software
and computer operating systems, the embosser has a built-in feature that
remembers sixteen different groups of settings, exactly as if you were going to
use sixteen different computers with one embosser.
Each group of settings is called a "menu." All the menus stay set and ready to
use even when the power is off. Eight of the menus are preset at the factory
with settings many of our customers have requested. The other eight are yours
to create as you need them. You can change, create and save settings in all the
menus, even the ones preset at the factory.
When you turn on your embosser for the first time, Menu 1 is the default (which
means it has control until you change it). Menu 1 is for a parallel connection to
an IBM-compatible computer.
Use your new embosser to print out a Braille graphic of the keypad and a
Braille list of all sixteen menus and their settings, which are stored
permanently in the Service Menu.
To print out the list (assuming you have put paper in the embosser, turned on
the power, and set top-of-form), enter the following on the embosser's keypad:
OL Takes the embosser off-line
0.0E Enter the Service Menu (Menu Zero)
10E Emboss a graphic representation of the keypad and all 16
user menu default settings stored permanently in the
embosser's memory
You can stop the list during printing with the E key.
Each of the sixteen menus has the same features, many of which will be familiar
to most computer users (like right and left margins, word wrap, and page
length), while others are unique to Braille environments.
When the embosser is OFF-LINE and in one of the menus, you can make ET
Speaks (if installed) tell you what the menu parameter is without changing
anything.
