Horizontal and vertical braille printing
Traditionally braille has been printed horizontally. Basic-D opens new print type possibilities.

Supported print types
Single/double sided, traditionally horizontal printing
Single/double sided Z-folding. Horizontal printing where every second paper is printed from bottom to top. The pile of ready braille is stacked in correct order.
Sideways Z-folding. Vertical printout where the pages are organized ready to be stapled. Supported by the BrailleApp, not by commersial braille editors.
