Depending on your network configurations, a network discovery app (e.g. "Fing") might be convenient to
find TigerBox IP address when configured in Network Client mode. This user manual will point out
situations where this could be useful.
Please also note, that the capability to print through TigerBox from your mobile device depends on
printing capabilities of the application from where you are sending data to be embossed.
Some basic tests at ViewPlus conclude to following statements about certain apps when wanting to print
content to a ViewPlus embosser @ tigerbox.
Microsoft Word app for Android:
This app provides mainstream printing features similar to MS Office
Word program under Windows, and is giving reliable results when printing to a ViewPlus embosser
through TigerBox.
Chrome:
Though Chrome is said to be the standard web browser on Android mobile devices, it does not
reliably provide printing service through Android CUPS print.
Firefox:
This is another common web browser on Android mobile devices, and it works well providing a
print command reliably from page menu.
