Some printers – such as the BTEC 100 – receive the text in the form of dot combinations
(transparent mode). Before printing, you must therefore set your Braille System to the
Braille table which was used to generate or edit the text to be printed.
Printers which cannot process dot combinations receive and process the text in the form of
characters. If, for example, you use the Portathiel printed, you must use the correct
conversion table (see Section 5.1.8.13.5).
5.4.2 The printing operation
A progress indication ('nnn % printed') is displayed during the printing operation. You can
abort the printing operation at any time by pressing [SPC+7 8] or {Ctrl + Tab}. The system
then displays the message 'Printing aborted', which you must confirm by pressing [ESC].
The Braille System informs the printer that printing has been aborted. If possible, the text
buffer of the printer is cleared in order to stop the printout. If the printer continues printing
text from the buffer, you will have to stop it manually. Some printers have a special button
or combination of buttons for this. Please refer to the user manual of the printer for further
information. Aborting the printing operation is signalled with an error tone, while successful
completion is signalled with a high-frequency beep.
