5 Braille printing with commercially available braille printing
software
You can also print a braille tape with the BL-1000 LINK using commercially available braille
printing software if it meets the following requirements:
Baud Rate: 9600 bps
Data length: 8 bits
Stop Bits: 1 bit
Parity: None
Handshake: Software (XOn/XOff)
These requirements apply to both the USB and Bluetooth interfaces.
Verify the virtual interface number via the Windows Device Manager.
If you do not use handshake, please make sure that the amount of data sent at once is less
than 500 bytes to avoid gaps in the text.
The BL-1000 LINK can receive text in Braille code NABCC (6 dots). NABCC is a standard
Braille code. If the Braille printer settings have the option "Generic", you can use the BL-
1000 LINK.
Please note that the BL-1000 LINK cannot print the Braille dots correctly if there are escape
sequences in the data stream.
The BL-1000 LINK is not capable of automatically restarting paragraphs or pages, as it was
designed to print single line flexible length braille tape. When the BL-1000 LINK receives
one of the following signals, it interprets this as end of line:
Line feed code (10)
Form feed (New page code) (12)
Carriage Return (13)
If the BL-1000 LINK receives these signals continuously one after the other, one code is
evaluated and the others are ignored.
