Hello Alex, I'm happy to hear that. For information of all, ViewPlus
embossers will assume "legacy" mode if they do not get a valid header that
is normally sent by a ViewPlus printer driver. There may also be some
garbage-collection done to take care of spurious stuff sent on occasion by
some computers before the valid data starts. This could have been the
reason you did not make it work initially. Glad it works now.
"Legacy" mode is what regular embossers accept - such as BRF files.
ViewPlus documentation includes definitions of escape characters needed to
change parameters, but the easy way to do that is through the Tiger tab of
its Windows printer driver. One can do 10 dpi legacy graphics in legacy
mode but not high resolution Tiger graphics.

Subject: [brailleblaster] ViewPlus Technologies Tiger Cub (Legacy Mode)
Approved to work with Mac OS X and Most Linux Distros Using CUPS
Hi John G. and All,
I am writing to let you all know that I have succeeded in getting the
ViewPlus Technologies Tiger Cub braille embosser to work with Mac OS X and
my Embosser Admin Utility.
I am also writing to let you all know that legacy mode for the above printer
is supported via CUPS on most Linux distros.
I'll write more soon as it is rather late where I am and I'm heading out for
the day.
I hope this is encouraging to someone. I know I'm sure encouraged by it.
Regards,
Alex,
