Suppressing Multiple Spaces
If you want to Braille a document that was originally formatted
for print, it probably has multiple spaces in it. That is, it may
have paragraphs with their first lines indented by five spaces,
each sentence separated by two spaces, and so on.
Your Braille translation software should strip out most of these
extra spaces before your document ever goes to the Blazer.
But it case it misses any, you can ensure the Blazer catches
them all by turning on the "Suppress Multiple Spaces" setting.
When you enter the Sideway Print Configuration menu, press
skip once to arrive at the Suppress Multiple Spaces setting. The
Blazer says, "Suppress multiple spaces off, active", which is the
default. To turn it on, simply press Enter.
Skipping Blank Lines
If you want to Braille a document that was originally formatted
for print, it probably has extra blank lines in it to create "white
space", which makes the document more legible for sighted
readers. Your Braille translation software should strip out all of
these extra blank lines before your document ever goes to the
Blazer. But it case it misses any, you can ensure the Blazer
catches them all by turning on the Skip Blank Lines setting.
When you enter the Sideway Print Configuration menu, press
skip twice to arrive at the Skip blank Lines setting. The Blazer
says, "Skip blank lines off, active", which is the default. To turn
it on, simply press Enter.
Serial Configuration Menu
You can use the Blazer's serial port to connect to your
computer, Braille n speak, Type n Speak, or Braille lite. You
can use the serial connection either to transmit documents from
a device to the Blazer for Brailling, or to use the Blazer's built-in
speech synthesizer with a screen access program.
In either case, the telecommunications settings on the Blazer's
serial port must exactly match those on the other device in
