Changing the Weight of the Paper
The Blazer can Braille on heavyweight and lightweight Braille
paper. It's important to set the Blazer for the correct paper
weight to avoid tearing lighter paper or producing faded Braille
on heavier paper.
When you enter the Printer Configuration menu, press Skip
nine times to arrive at the Paper Weight setting. The Blazer
says, "Paper weight heavy, active", which is the default for
standard 100-pound tag Braille paper.
To change the paper weight, press Enter. The Blazer lets you
cycle through Plastic and Light before cycling you back to
Heavy. The Plastic option is for Brailling on plastic labels or
thermoform paper.
Changing the Braille Language
The Blazer understands how to Braille in a wide variety of
languages. Of course, you must also since you have to produce
the text on your word processor.
When you enter the Printer Configuration menu, press Skip ten
times to arrive at the Character Set setting. The Blazer says,
"Character set U.S. ASCII, active", which is the default. In most
cases, you'll want to keep it this way. Without getting technical,
let's just say that ASCII is the standard alphabet, punctuation
marks, and numbers you already know.
However, if you do want to use another character set, press
Enter. The Blazer lets you cycle through the following options
before cycling you back to U.S. ASCII:
Spanish, Japanese, French, French-Canadian, German,
Brazilian Portuguese, Danish, and Slovak.
Needless to say, you'd better be familiar with the Braille
produced by those languages, or you'll b e very surprised when
you Braille your next document.
