I have been really pleased with the performance fo the Romeo Brailer we
just purchased with the Duxbury Translator. It has run smoothly and in
the past week we've In the pat couple of weeks we have brailled about
two thousand pages without a jam, having to stop, or anything. My only
problem with the Duxbury translator and this is picky I have to admit
is that I wish you could load bfrout filenames so that you could do
something else while printing. As it is right now you have to put each
file you are printing in one at a time. That is really time consuming.

I'm not using the system you're using, but here's a suggestion
anyway. If your computer has any spare memory, find a print
spooler(some are shareware) This will let the translator, think
it's sending your file to the printer, but actually it's being put
in another part of memory, and only being sent to the printer when
the printer is ready to receive it. This will let you go on and do
something else while you're printing. For a print spooler, i'd
suggest a program called d m p. I believe the latest version is
2.1 or so.It's shareware, and works great with the university's
versapoint.
Later..

It ain't broke, it's just having a bad day.
