A.   Preface
ViewPlus Emprint
Tactile Graphics and Braille Embossing Printer, powered by Tiger
Owner's Manual
 
Congratulations on purchasing a ViewPlus Emprint™ haptic color printer Powered by Tiger!  Share documents with virtually anyone using color and tactile printouts. The ViewPlus Emprint™ combines reliable Tiger Technology with HP quality color ink resolution. The ViewPlus Emprint™ Powered by Tiger is the first full-color ink Braille and tactile graphics printer.
 
The ViewPlus Emprint™ Powered by Tiger adds color ink print to a tactile output using a user-friendly USB interface. Print on many different types of media, from lightweight copy paper to heavy cardstock, up to 9 inches wide.
 
Patented roller-die technology means ViewPlus embossers print at a 20 dots-per-inch graphic resolution and automatically convert colors and gray scale into variable dot heights. The sound-absorbing roller die makes Powered by Tiger embossers much quieter than other Braille printers.
 
ViewPlus embossers use the standard Windows printer driver to mix text and graphics in mainstream Windows software like Word and Excel. Use the computer to adjust settings and preferences. Print documents exactly how they appear on the screen.
 
Use the Tiger Software Suite to take braille translation and tactile graphics to a new level. The Tiger Formatter is a Microsoft add-in that gives you advanced tools for translation and embossing. Tiger Designer enables basic editing of documents for quick drawing and braille needs. Translator serves as a basic translation tool for almost any Windows software- including PowerPoint and Corel Draw.
