4 The Braille Labeler Application Program
To be able to print a text in Braille, you must first install the software as described in chapter
2 "Installation". Then please put the BL-1000 LINK into operation as described in chapter 3
"Commissioning".
Call the program "Braille Labeler". You will find a shortcut on your desktop, or you can use
the entry in the Start menu under "Help Tech/Braille Labeler 1000".
The main window "Braille Labeler" opens. This window displays the last file you used and
the texts it contains. In case of a new installation, this window is empty, the name of the file
is "Untitled.kbld".
The main window has a menu bar with the four menu items:
1. File: Functions to open, close and save files, as well as to exit the program.
2. Label: Functions for creating, editing and embossing texts.
3. Settings: Settings for braille embossing, such as use Grade 2.
4. Help: Version information about the application program
Furthermore, you will find a toolbar in which the most important functions can be called up
directly via icons without having to open the menu.
And last but not least, the data area in which the texts available in the current document are
displayed. The last text created is at the end of the list. Furthermore, you will find information
about when the text was last changed, the number of lines and characters in braille, as well
as the text itself.
