Starting up
The Basic-D V4, Everest-D V4 and Braille Box V4 start up directly when power is connected.
If the power cable has already been connected, press the ON key and hold for 2 seconds to
start the embosser. The fan will start directly and the start-up sequence is completed once the
embosser echos the brand name. It takes approximately 40 seconds for start up of the V4
embosser. During this time the embosser will load the LINUX operation system and check
embosser status etc.
1.2.1
Select Layout 1-5
You may select between five alternative layouts including common paper sizes, margins, line
length and characters per line etc.
To select page layout press the up/down arrow key. The current layout value will be indicated
(ex. layout 1). To set a new layout, continue to press the up/down arrow key until you are
prompted with the layout in which you wish to have. By pressing OK you will have set the
embosser to your new layout value.
You may select HELP at any time to find your current layout settings.
1.2.2
Power down
Power off the V4 embosser by pressing the OFF key (hold down 2 seconds). This is verified by
the message "embosser is turning off". During power off the embosser heads are placed into
transport position.
Please do NOT power down the embosser by disconnecting the power input plug. This may
leave files improperly closed with in the operation system and can cause unnecessary errors.
