Dear Terri, I have been using the paralel port on my laptop for the Embosser. That isn't an option with the Mpower Transplant. There is USB, but not on the Embosser. If Jim can set me straight, I'd be grateful. However, I'll try to call Enabling Technologies on Monday and hope I can reach someone. (Getting through with the Relay, using my TDD, is not always considered the best way to go. If anyone knows an E-Mail address I could use instead, please pass it along and thanks.) KC
