Use the Add button at the bottom of this section to load an existing Tiger profile, the Delete button to remove the currently loaded Tiger profile or the Save As button to save the current Formatter Settings under a different Tiger profile name.

- Braille Settings group: Not available in all languages. This group consists of four checkboxes. The first, Preserve Italics, inserts emphasis marks for italics into the braille document according to the rules of the selected language. The second, Preserve Bold, performs the same functionality for bold original text. The third, Preserve Underline, does the same for underlining in the original document. The fourth checkbox allows hyphenation of braille text according to the rules of the selected language.

- Ink Settings group: This group consists of two checkboxes and three combo boxes.

> Overprint Original Text: When checked, will cause the document, if printed to an ink print capable ViewPlus embosser, to ink print the ASCII representations of the braille on top of the braille. Checking the Overprint Original Text option will uncheck and disable the Interline Original Text option.

> Interline Original Text: Can be selected only when Overprint Original Text is unchecked. Checking Interline Original Text allows the original text to show in the document and, if printed to an ink print capable ViewPlus embosser, allows the document to be printed with ink.

> Three combo boxes are associated with this option. The first allows the ink font to be selected. Choose any font installed on the computer. The second combo box allows selection of the ink font size. The third combo box allows the user to select the ink text position: above the braille, on top of the braille or below the braille.

- Page Setup group: Allows the user to select the desired paper size from a combo box or to set a custom size. A set of radio buttons within the Page Setup group allows the user to choose the page orientation. 

- Margin group: Allows the user to set the desired page margins for this Tiger profile.

> Translate headers and/or footers: When checked, headers and footers will be translated.

> Remove Headers: When checked, this will delete headers.

> Remove Footers: When checked, this will delete footers.

> Show original page numbers: This will insert the original page numbers in the header of translated pages, but will remove the existing headers if any. If a translated page has contents that come from two original pages, a line will be inserted in between to serve as a separator, and an original page number will be inserted to the right of that line.

> Print odd page numbers only: When checked, page numbers are removed from the footers of even numbered pages. To use this feature, page numbers must be in the footer of the original document and the translate headers and/or footers option in the Format group on the Formatter Settings screen must also be checked.

> Braille document saved as new: When checked, the Formatter renames the translated document with _BRL following the original name of the file. By default this box is checked. When unchecked, the file is not renamed when the document is translated.

> Simplify document: When checked, the document will be simplified according to the document simplification settings each time a translation process is performed.

• Selection - Will print all the selections in all the selected sheets. (NOTE: If there are selections in multiple pages, only the selected area for the active sheet will be used, even the selected areas are different in other selected sheets. For example, if sheet 1 has A5 to D5 selected, sheet 2 has A10 to C10 selected, and sheet1 is the active sheet but both sheets are selected to be printed, then on sheet2, the selected area will automatically be changed to A5 to D5). If there are multiple selections in one sheet, each selection will be printed on a separate sheet.

• Copies: Select the number of copies to print.

NOTE: When printed in 2 in 1 mode, both the Braille Sheet and the Ink Sheet need to be sent, and they must have the same page break settings to allow the ink at the correct, desired position.
