 Chapter VIII: Printing First DocumentsBegin Main Content
 
 
A.   Printing
Now that the installation is complete, you should be set to print a document.  These are the steps that you should follow to print:
  • Open Microsoft Word, or other Windows word processing programs.
  • There are tips for using various Windows applications at: http://www.viewplus.com
  • If you are printing math equations, look at the directions for using MathType.  MathType is an add-on application for word processors.  It greatly simplifies the writing of equations.  For more information about MathType and ordering, please refer to our web site.
  • Make sure a ViewPlus embosser and the correct paper size are selected.  The paper size depends on the paper that is loaded in the ViewPlus embosser.  You can either open an existing document that you want to print, or start with a new one.  Example documents can be found at on the ViewPlus web site.
  • You should select the appropriate Tiger screen font and draw or import any kind of images - the driver will automatically translate the graphics and English text to tactile images and braille or DotsPlus . 
  • If you wish to translate to uncontracted (grade 1) or contracted (grade 2) braille, use the ViewPlus  Formatter a program in your Tiger Software Suite.
Then print the file just as you would print to any other printer.
 
 
B.   Printer Properties
Paper size can be selected in the printer properties. The settings for Windows 2000 and XP can be found Settings/Printers/select Tiger /Properties.  The paper sizes are Letter, A4 and Legal and envelopes.  The media choice can be controlled from the printer properties, but should also be set correctly in the Page Setup of Windows applications before printing to ensure the desired results.
