"Generate test document" does not consider embosser limitations #13

Closed joeha480 closed 6 years ago

joeha480 commented 7 years ago

When generating a test document, embosser limitations are not considered. For example, Braillo 400SR cannot produce more than 31 cells on an A4 paper, but when using this embosser and setting it for A4 sized paper, the software produces a test file that is 35 cells wide, which cannot be embossed on an A4 paper with that embosser.

Closing since this is in fact a problem with the embosser implementations.
