What ports does the device have? A parallel connection should be easier if it
has one. Then you can run
cat braille_file > /dev/lp0
for example.

With a serial interface, you'll have to ensure that the serial parameters of
the embosser match those of the serial port. Read about the stty command if
you find it necessary to set serial parameters (baud rate, stop bits, flow
control, parity, etc.).
