Setup commands
Note! WinBraille will overtake all settings in the setup.
The settings in the setup are applicable only when the embosser is connected to a DOS operated
computer or together with a Braille editor working in Windows, controlling the embosser as a
text based driver, e.g. Duxbury.

Default setup = A/B/C
Everest has three different setup parameter settings stored as DEFAULT SETUP A, B and C.
To select DEFAULT SETUP press A, B or C. All changes that are made in the setup are stored
in the active default setup.

Setup
The group of setup keys includes four keys SETUP, GROUP, ITEM and VALUE.

Change Setup
To activate SETUP, press SETUP, Everest will echo “change setup A”. The changes will be
stored in the active Setup.
The keys GROUP, ITEM and VALUE are organised in a tree structure where GROUP is the
selection of four major groups, ITEM is the different items to change in each group and VALUE
is the value for each item. (See description chapter 3.5.)

characters.
