Updating BraillePen Write
From time to time there will be updated versions of this software. Each update is a full
installation of the software, and requires you to uninstall the version you currently have
installed.
Always uninstall BraillePen Write from the Control Panel. In Windows XP, choose Add and
Remove Programs; in Vista choose Programs and Features, and in Windows 7 choose
Programs and Features.
As well as uninstalling BraillePen Write, you must also uninstall a file which will usually be
first on the list, called __mfc_vcr. Once you have uninstalled BraillePen Write and __mfc_vcr,
you will be able to install the updated software; if you have not uninstalled both files, you will
receive an error message.
Braille ASCII or computer Braille
This table gives the correspondence between ASCII characters and Braille characters, used
to send translated Braille to an embosser. You may need to use it to type Braille into some
devices, where the BraillePen12 driver or the device's internal software has no Braille
translation built in.
