I am thinking about getting a braille embosser that is wireless so I can print
from my phone. I know Index has printers that will do this, are their any other
printers that I could look at? Only want it for personal use, so wanted
something small and inexpensive.

Hi!
I don’t have one yet.
I have just heard that they should work with the mac.
Now i have a blista brailletech which was great using windows but their support
refuses to create drivers for the mac for some reason.
I guess its because the printer itself installs a virtual com port under
windows.

Yes that’s correct. But there is no harm in writing Enabling to try to get
them to support the Mac. The more people who do the more likely they are to
support the Mac.

What is returned, apart from your Bluetooth ports?
Hopefully the port is just serial-USB so you can simply send embossable text to
it in standard ASCII form. Test it out with a braille file, as short as you
can of course so as not to waste the paper.

would suggest that it go in for an overhaul. $500 or best offer. I
will ship it Free Matter or you can pay shipping if you like. It will
