The braille printing machine is a printer attached to a computer that is used to produce a braille copy of text. A braille embosser may also be attached to braille note-taking devices for the same purpose. With the use of a braille embosser, a student can print a braille copy of their notes and writing work. The embossers require heavyweight paper, and most models print on just one side.
Braille printers receive information from computer devices and emboss that information in braille onto paper through the use of solenoids that control embossing pins. Braille printers typically utilize more pages for the same amount of information as pages printed on a regular printer. Braille printers, also known as braille embossers, can make it much easier for blind people to print out readable documents if one has a vision impairment. From important documents to backup copies of letters and forms, a braille printer can be a useful addition to everyday life.
