[Njtechdiv] Connecting braille printer

[Tracy Carcione]

Yes Mario, you're quite right.  I guess I was getting confused by the many
possibilities, and making things more complicated than necessary.  Thanks
for your advice.

Tracy, you shouldn't have to assign which port to use if it's being
connected to a computer running Windows 7, 8 or 10.

I have and still use a parallel printer that connects to the computer's USB
port and I didn't have to set anything except install the appropriate driver
for Windows 7.

if the manufacturer didn't update the driver for the Index for a version of
Windows beyond XP, just try connecting the embosser to the computer's USB
without installing any driver. it might just work.

if you're using the cable from Index, the cable should do the appropriate
translating to allow the embosser to work.

hope it works out.
