[nabs-l] Embosser Help

[Sandra Gayer]

Hello  Vejas,
Without knowing the make and model of your embosser, it's hard to give
you the exact help you need. However, the left edge problem can be
solved by asking the person embossing for you to change the settings
to include a one character indent in the lefthand margin. The person
could, alternatively, try seeing if there have been margins set. Also,
how wide is the paper in relation to the characters per line and lines
per page. These are crucial settings to take into account because
embossers will economise if there are too many lines or characters
specified. For example, if the page can cope with up to 28 lines at
the outside and there is an instruction for 28 or even 29, space at
the top of the page will disappear altogether. It's the same
forcharacters per line. Ask the person to look at the default settings
and experiment with reducing the numbers.

Again, without knowing which embosser you have andwhich software is
being used to operate it, I cannot tell you where to find these
settings but I hope some of this will prove useful to you and your
school team.
Very best wishes,
Sandra.
