Let me try! I think your first mistake is using a printer port. The PowerBraille is not the same as a printer. I don't know how new your unit is but on the old units, you needed a serial connection running between your computer and the PowerBraille. I am assuming that on newer models this connection can be accomplished by using a usb port.
Also, make sure that when you install JAWS, you tell it to recognize the exact type of Braille display you have. There is a list of Braille devices when you install JAWS, and you must be sure to check the braille device you have installed. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Scott Berry Sent: Friday, May 02, 2008 8:36 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] a question on how to get a Power Braille 65/80 workingwith Jaws Hello there, I am wondering if someone can help me out here. I have a Power Braille 80 and I want to get it working with Jaws. I am using Windows Vista Home Edition Premium. Here are the steps I have followed: 1. I connected the PB 80 to the power supply and charged the battery. 2. I have a parallel cable going in to the only parallel port I have which is a printer port and it is considered lpt1. 3. I then go to the Synth and Braille Manager and tell it I want to use the PB 80 on LPT1 And check the Pb80 display check box with in the Synth and Braille Manager. 4. I then say finish to the Synth and Braille Manager and start Jaws as asked by Jaw's executable. 5. I restart Jaws and then Jaws is complicated by a Windows error which says that the application meaning Jaws will not run. I have two questions here. Does the Pb 80 need bidirectional support? I am assuming yes since it needs to talk both ways? Secondly, are there any other settings that any one can suggest? Have a wonderful day.
