Starting MB-Comm.
When starting MB-Comm while connected to the Mountbatten, you will hear a series of
tones and "OK" prompts while the connection is being established. If you don't hear any
tones, make sure the Mountbatten is on, connected, and has paper loaded; if all this is in
place and no connection is made, contact the helpline for assistance.
Transferring files to/from Mountbatten Brailler Tutor
Text files can be Embossed on the MB directly from your computer or sent to the
MB memory for later embossing. Or, files held in the MB memory can be sent to the
Computer for saving.
From the
File menu,
select either:
• Send Text File to MB
• Emboss File on MB
• Receive and Save File from MB
Hint:
It is recommended that when sending to the MB, the Send Text File to MB
function is used, as this is much quicker and allows you to Emboss the material at your
leisure.
Other features
On the Computer screen, you may
• Display File from MB
• You can also interact with the MB through a
Chat mode
.
At any time, using the Device Menu, you may turn the Embosser On or turn the
Embosser Off. You may also Connect or Disconnect the MB or use MB Memory
Management to report on the MB memory. File management works for all Mountbatten
Brailler models, while the free memory field is not displayed when an MB Tutor is
connected, due to the large size of memory in this model.
You may also click the lights in the toolbar under MB-Comm menu to Connect and
Disconnect or turn the Embosser On or Off.
