Print mode
Print Mode includes keys for changing between the different print modes. You can choose between
Normal or Reformatted.
4.5.1
Normal
In Normal mode the 4X4 PRO will print the Braille as it is formatted in the text file. The text has to be
formatted with the correct characters per line according to the setup of the embosser.
4.5.2
Reformatted
In reformatted print mode the 4X4 PRO formats the text to erase any excess spaces in the text file, e.g.
multiple spaces, FF (Form Feed) and CR/LF (New line). This function is very useful when printing a
text file made for ink print in Braille or normal literary (grade 1) Braille.
Re-formatting function works in the following way:
Auto line-feed and word wrap is automatically set ON.
1 or more space is substituted with 1 space.
1 CR/LF is erased.
2 CR/LF substituted with 1 CR/LF
3 CR/LF substituted with 1 CR/LF followed by two spaces.
More than 3 CR/LF’s are substituted with 2 CR/LF’s.
1 FF is erased.
More than 1 FF substituted with 1 FF.
4.5.3
Disabled keys
The panel was originally designed for the Index Everest Braille embosser, which is why some of the
keys are disabled when they are used for the 4X4 PRO.
The following keys are disabled when printing in 4X4 mode: Double sided, Single sided, Split page.
4X4 PRO always prints in double-sided mode, normal or reformatted.
