Description: Introductory music begins to play. As title page appears displaying BrailleNote Tutorial, Printing, Online Video Training Modules, Alberta Education. Narrator: This section is on printing. Another choice from the word processing menu is printing your document. In this example we’re going to print one page from one of our documents we have saved on the BrailleNote and I’ll show you how to set up your printer. If you refer to the Humanware website which is www.humanware.com under the support section there is a list of compatible printers that will work with the BrailleNote. However I find that in general the best results occur from using an HP printer or something very similar and a USB connection. Let’s print a document. From the main menu go to Word Processing and then select P for print or navigate there using your navigation buttons. At this point we’re going to set up our printer pressing S or navigating using the thumb button. By default it usually is 110 and 85 for the width. These numbers indicate how many lines of print appear on the page. Each printer is slightly different so we’re going to print the test page and show you how to adjust these settings. So we’ll leave it right now at 110. If you’re using an older style dot matrix printer which uses continuous feed paper you would select yes for continuous feed. However, most printers in schools are not so we’ll select no. Most of the printers are automatically self-feeding so we do not need to assist with this. We’ll leave it at no. When we have adjusted the length of a page and the width typically there should be enough room for hole punching. However, you could increase this with the offset if you wanted more room in your left hand margin. You have choices of infrared and Bluetooth as well as serial. At this point we’re going to select U for USB. If you’re not connecting to an HP printer at this point you would press Y for yes please change these settings. You would then be given a list of various printers that the BrailleNote is compatible with. If your printer is not in this list select standard or standard 2 and attempt to print. If it works that would be the proper driver for you. If it does not work please consult the Humanware website again for a printer that will be compatible. We’ll leave it on HP as we will be connecting to an HP printer. Most schools have industrial types of printers and the drivers in this BrailleNote tend to work really well with those. Extended character set currently MS-DOS. We’ll leave it at that setting. End of list. As we exit if we’ve changed anything it will ask to confirm the changes and you say Y with the enter button. Print or set up printer. We’re ready to print. Right now you can hit P or enter to enter the print menu. Folder name, press enter for general. Similar to embossing it will ask where to find the file you wish to print. In this case general. Document to print, press enter for demonstration document. As we’re going to set up our printer in terms of the length of lines and how wide I’m going to find a document called printer test A. List of all documents in general folder. As I know it starts with P I’m just going to hit the letter P and it will take me straight there. Printer test A, perfect. Printer ready? At this point similar to embossing if I press enter or press Y it will automatically print. However, if I select no the printer is not ready then I could do some additional changes such as select only one page. So for example if you wanted to hand in an assignment but you knew you only had to hand in one page three of the length you have written you could select page three ending at page three and only one copy unless your teacher wants more than one. No start page number, currently first page one. Finish page number currently last page. I’m going to select page one at this point, one. Number of copies, press enter for one. Printer ready. We’re ready to print. I should note this is an excellent time to plug in the printer. I have a USB cable already plugged into my printer. There are two USB ports located on the back. It doesn’t matter which one. BrailleNote: Card not recognized. Narrator: If you heard what the BrailleNote said it said card not recognized. Occasionally when you plug into a printer the device doesn’t immediately recognize what the device is when you plugged in. Contrast this to when you plug in a USB drive and it says hard disk. In this case the prompt is wanting me to continue. All I do is press enter and it should say after that ready to print. Printer ready. We’re good to go. I’ve already set my pages. I’m connected and all should be well. Key word menu. Printing of printer test A complete. Here is our printout. If someone sighted is helping you with this you’ll not that across the page you have letters A through J repeated completely across the fault line. A to J represents one through ten. We need to count the number of sets across the page. In this case we will note that there are eighty characters going across. This means when we go back to the settings for printing we need to select eighty characters across. When we print printer test B we’ll note that there are a number of lines going down the page. Once again someone sighted will help you count those and then we’ll adjust our printer settings. Essentially you’ll need to print two test pages first before you have all your settings right for this specific printer. We’re going to do that now really quickly. BrailleNote: Main menu, key word, print or set up printer, printer set up list. Paper length 110, paper width 85. Narrator: It said paper width 85. We know from the first test document we need 80, so we’ll enter that now. 80 BrailleNot: use form feed between pages, currently no. Narrator: As that’s all the settings we need to change we do not need to go through the rest of the list. Press E with space to exit. Exit, confirm changes, yes please, we’ll press Y. Print or set up printer and now we’re ready to print printer test B to see the length. Folder name, document to print, press enter, list of all documents in general folder. Again hit P to jump to the file you want. A and there’s B. Printer ready. Again I could just press enter and it will print off. I happen to know that printer test B is several pages. As I only need one page I’m going to go no printer ready. No start page number currently first page one and I can just select page one. Finish page number currently last page and again just select page one. One, number of copies, press enter for one. Printer ready and we’re good to print. Key word menu, printing of printer test B complete and here’s my print. In this case you’ll note it’s not alphabet letters but actual numbers going down the side of the page. Looking at this page I notice there are sixty lines. I now have only one more setting to change in my print menu and then we’re good to go in using this printer. From the word processing menu back to P for print, print or set up printer. S for setup, printer set up list and going through my list with the spacebar, paper length 110 and now I know I only need to select 60, 60, paper width 80 and at this point I can exit again as I don’t need to change anything else. Exit, confirm changes, enter the letter Y for confirming. Yes print or set up printer and now I’m ready to print anything else that I might have saved on my BrailleNote.
