B. TigerPlus technology
The TigerPlus Braille system, which is implemented with VP Columbia, allows to place dots on tactile
prints with an accuracy of 100 DPI. The physical size of each dot allows to place dots as close to each
other as 17 DPI. However, the resolution of actual dot placement may vary to yield to best possible
representation of shapes in tactile print.
The advantage of the TigerPlus Braille system versus traditional Tiger Braille system is the capability of
placing dots in variable distances with a resolution of 100 DPI. This allows to provide a special setting
with this embosser that is not available with other ViewPlus embosser models. The setting of the Braille
dot spacing to one of the five following international braille standards:
(1) Marburg Medium (German), equivalent to traditional Tiger Braille system
(2) American Library of Congress
(3) American National Library of the Blind
(4) Japanese Standard (Micro Braille)
(5) Korean Standard
Additional to these braille standards, Jumbo Braille can be created when using Tiger Software Suite (TSS)
in MS Office Word, or Excel. Or, when printing to a note taker in legacy mode, Jumbo Braille can be
selected in Braille spacing options of Device Settings (see section IV.B.).
C. System compatibility
The Windows driver for the Columbia is compatible with operating systems from Windows Vista to current
Windows versions, both 32- and 64-bit systems. The Windows driver allows to print to the Columbia from
