Embossers and Embossing

The Duxbury Braille Translator operates over 100 makes and models of braille embossers, some dating back over 30 years, others introduced only months ago.

This section of Help provides information on both the hardware and software aspects of setting up your embosser.

It includes a comprehensive list of embossers. For each embosser, there is information covering the embosser, its manufacturer, and interfacing with your Duxbury program.

One of the most common support issues concerns connecting older embossers that do not have USB connections to modern computers.

Note: Before you connect your embosser to your computer, we strongly recommend you get clear instructions from your provider on the order in which you should do each of these steps.
