Most braille should be produced
using the Tiger Software Suite. The Tiger Software Suite is part of your embosser package.
Instructions for installation and use come with the software package. |

Fonts |
|
|
Tiger screen fonts are
alternative braille fonts installed during the installation of the ViewPlus
embosser driver. They can be chosen as output options in Tiger Software Suite
(TSS) and other software programs, like MathType. Tiger screen fonts appear as
standard text characters on the screen and print as braille dot patterns.
It is very important to use the
default font size and spacing for braille fonts. If the font size or spacing is
changed, the braille will not be printed with the correct standards. For Tiger
fonts, a point size of 36 is suggested. Most other braille fonts will use a
point size of 29.
Characters or text not
translated to braille will print as graphic images of the visual character.This
enables embossing of visual print characters. More information about the fonts
included can be found on your installation CD in the Tiger/Docs folder. |

Math and Braille |
|
|
MathType by Design Science can be used
with the Tiger fonts for producing spatial math equations. More information on
MathType can be found on the ViewPlus website. |

Now that the installation and
printer default setup is complete, you should be set to print a
document. These are the steps that you should follow to print:
-
Open the document to be printed.
-
Open the program's File menu and choose
Print.
-
On the Print dialog, make sure a
ViewPlus embosser is selected. Click on the printer properties button and
ensure that the correct paper size and Tiger printing options are selected.
Click OK on the printer properties dialog when you are finished. Then click OK
on the Print dialog to start the print job.
-
If you are using form feed paper when the
printer is finished, take the printer offline and press
the up arrow
button to advance the paper enough so you can detach
it. Press the down arrow button after you have
detached the paper to move the paper to the ready position. The printer will
automatically be turned online.
