[Electronics-Talk] small braille embossers

[carcione at access.net]

I have an old Index, but it still works fine.  I went to the Index site and
got a driver, and I bought a USB-to-parallel cable to attach the printer to
my PC.  I also had to add the printer to Windows.  
The trickiest bit was figuring out which USB port to plug the cable into.
It works in one, but not another--don't know why.  I just kept moving the
cable until Windows finally saw the printer.

 rI don't think you need a new embosser. The new Duxbury should interface
fine. You could also use Braille Blaster, free from APH, which I think has
all the abilities you specify.

 Hi all,

I bought the Duxbury Braille Translator software. Now, I'm looking for a
sturdy but small braille embosser. 
If you are familiar with the old embosser from Blazie Engineering, that is
what I grew up with. The Braille Blazer was small, but simple to use and got
the job done well.
So, I'm looking for an embosser about that size if it exists. My old braille
embosser probably will not interface with new Windows pcs, so, I'm looking
for a new one.
I'd like it to be able to communicate with multiple pcs and tablets. For
instance, if I want to send something to emboss from my Windows 10 laptop,
or my Windows 10 desktop, I'd like that ability in addition to sending from
a tablet such as an IPad.
I will have the Duxbury software on both a desktop and laptop. 

I'm looking for an embosser that ideally has these features:
1. braille on both sides
2. ability to emboss multiple copies just like you can tell an ink jet
printer to print multiple copies 3. Wireless connections via bluetooth or
infared technology 4. Connection to wifi networks 5. Simple tactile graphics
ability

I think the Juliet looks nice, but it seems complex. I'm wondering about the
Index and Tiger embossers and maybe they fit my needs.

Thanks for any ideas. Sorry its a little off topic.

Sincerely,
Ashley
