I. Introduction
I.A. Preface
Welcome to ViewPlus Tiger Box, an AirPrint compatible wireless print server for current VP embosser
models, including VP EmBraille, VP Cub, VP Max, VP SpotDot, VP Columbia, VP Delta, VP Premier, and VP
Elite.
Connect your embosser to Tiger Box to send text from mobile devices for text to Braille translation and
embossing. It will work with mobile devices running iOS, or Android operating system, utilizing Airprint
protocol. It is recommended to use Android version 6 or higher when printing through Tiger Box.
Tiger Box will produce translation of standard text to Braille on the fly according to user preference
settings for language, Braille type, and page layout. Only true text information will be translated to Braille.
Tiger Box will also enable to emboss tactile graphics.
Wi-Fi Direct mode
Wi-Fi Direct provides a direct wireless connection to your ViewPlus supported embossers that allows you
to print without joining a local network or connecting to the Internet. When you activate Wi-Fi Direct on
your embosser, you can securely print documents from most Wi-Fi-capable computers and mobile
devices. The technology is similar to Bluetooth, but uses Wi-Fi to work at greater distances and faster
speeds.
Wi-Fi Network mode
Tiger Box can also be configured to work in Wi-Fi Network mode where it can be configured as a client to
another accessible wireless network. The advantage of Network mode is, that you can print content
directly from the internet if the host network allows internet access. And, the embosser connected to
Tiger Box will also be accessible for Braille printing from any PC or other device connected to the same
host network.

II.A. Hardware Setup
The hardware for your Tiger Box is easily setup with these simple steps:
1. Insert the micro USB plug of provided power cable to Tiger Box, and plug in the power plug to a
power wall outlet (or extended wall outlet).
2. If you are planning to setup Tiger Box in Network Client mode to an existing local area network,
connect it to the corresponding router using ethernet cable.
3. Connect your ViewPlus embosser to Tiger Box using a standard USB device cable. Please note that
only one of the four accessible USB ports will be active, but it is your choice which one you occupy.
Tiger Box will boot upon power connection. The red LED light should turn on steady. The green light should
be blinking, indicating proper Wi-Fi function.
NOTE: The USB stick included in delivery, serves as reset dongle. Please keep it safe and don't use it for
any other purpose. See section II.D for further instructions on using the USB dongle.
Multiple Tiger Boxes in the same area?
If you are planning to run multiple Tiger Boxes within the same local area, please make sure to power on
any next Tiger Box only after changing network configuration of the previous one. If leaving in Wi-Fi Direct
mode, set a unique SSID for each Tiger Box to identify itself. When running in Network Client mode, set a
unique hostname for each Tiger Box. Please see section II.C. below for further information.
II.B. Software Setup
II.B.1. iOS Mobile Devices
No specific software setup is needed on iOS mobile devices to be able to print wireless to your ViewPlus
embosser @ tigerbox.

4
II.B.2. Android Mobile Devices
On Android devices, it might be necessary to explicitly switch printing services ON. Therefore follow
instructions below.
1. Go to device settings and start typing "print" in search bar. From search results, select item 'Print
services'.
Looking for print service within Android settings
2. The next screen will show 'Default Print Service' turned On, or Off. It needs to be 'On'. To turn it
on, select it to get to the next screen.
3. On the next screen for 'Default Print Service', you will find a toggle switch for turning the service
On, or Off. It needs to be turned 'On'.
Also within this screen you should see a list of available printers. If you just turned the service on,
it might take a minute for available printers to show. This list should include two instances of your
ViewPlus embosser @ tigerbox. The purpose of these two instances, which we refer to as 'Tiger'
instance, and 'Braille' instance of the ViewPlus printer is explained further in section III.D below.

III.B.3. All Devices
Depending on your network configuration, a network discovery app (e.g. Fing) might be convenient for
the purposes of finding Tiger Box 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 Tiger Box from your mobile device depends on
printing capabilities of the application from where you would like to print.
II.C. Network configurations of Tiger Box
After initial hardware setup, Tiger Box provides its own direct Wi-Fi network. See section II.C.1 below to
learn how to access Tiger Box user inface in this case.
The configuration can be changed within Tiger Box user interface to setup Tiger Box as a client to an
existing wireless local area network. See section II.C.2 below to learn how to perform this switch.
Additionally, Tiger Box can be connected via ethernet cable to an existing network structure. This wired
connection performs parallel to wireless connection whichever wireless configuration you choose. See
section II.C.3 for more information about this.
II.C.1. Connecting to Tiger Box Direct Wi-Fi and accessing user interface
Tiger Box is hosting direct Wi-Fi named 'TigerBox' by factory default. As long as Tiger Box is configured to
Wi-Fi Direct mode, you will need to connect your mobile device, or PC, to this Wi-Fi in order to access user
settings and configurations for wireless printing, and to print to the connected embosser.
Interface screens of different devices may vary from screen shots below, but in general these are the steps
to take for connecting to Tiger Box Direct Wi-Fi, and to access network configuration settings.

6
1. Open settings on your mobile device and select Wi-Fi. A list of known networks should appear.
2. Select 'TigerBox' network and connect.
Screenshots of connecting to TigerBox Wi-Fi
3. Your device will notice that 'TigerBox' has no internet access and might try to connect to a different
Wi-Fi network instead. You may need to acknowledge that you want to stay connected, and
possibly also need to select 'forget other networks' and turn off mobile data.
4. When successfully connected to 'TigerBox' Wi-Fi network, open your preferred web browser
application and enter "http://10.10.0.1" for Tiger Box dedicated IP address, or URL
"http://tigerbox" within the address line. A page as shown in following picture will open.
Tiger Box user interface Home page

7
5. This is the 'Home' page of the Tiger Box user interface application within your web browser.
Depending on the ViewPlus embosser model that you have currently connected to your Tiger Box,
printer specific information will be displayed. Without any embosser connected to Tiger Box, it will
show embosser information to not be available.
Within the header section of Tiger Box user interface application you find links to the FAQ section
of ViewPlus online knowledge base, and to the online version of this user manual, as well as a link
to the general ViewPlus company web page.
Language: Within center section to the right you find the 'Language' selection. This is referring to
the display language within this user interface. Choose your preferred language from the drop-
down list box.
Menu items: On the left you find menu items that will bring you to different settings pages of the
Tiger Box user interface. Following items are available: 'Home', 'Formatter Settings', 'Embosser
Settings', 'TIGERTM Properties', and 'System'.
If you are using an additional USB flash drive as file repository as explained in section III.E.2. and
III.E.3. below, you will find additional item 'EmbossMeTM' between ' TIGERTM Properties' and
'System'.
Go to 'System' for Wi-Fi Direct, or Wi-Fi Network Client configuration settings.
6. The System page offers options to change wireless configuration between Wi-Fi Direct and Wi-Fi
Network Client operating mode.
Additionally, the system page offers options to change wired LAN configuration when connecting
to a router via Ethernet cable. See more information in section II.C.3. below.
At the bottom of the system page you also find a 'Refresh' button to refresh display of values after
any change, as well as a button to check for updates on Tiger Box.
Please note, that internet connection is required when performing 'Check for Update'.

8
Tiger Box user interface System page
This is the section of the System page,
where wireless configuration can be
changed between Wi-Fi Direct and Wi-Fi
Network operating mode.
This section is used for wired LAN
configuration when connecting to your
router via Ethernet cable.

9
Tiger Box main settings in WiFi-Direct mode
7. In Wireless LAN Configurations, Tiger Box will initially provide Wi-Fi direct network with SSID
'TigerBox' and no password. If you like, you can secure TigerBox direct Wi-Fi by entering a
passphrase (password).
8. You may also change SSID, for example to differentiate between multiple Tiger Box devices in
Wi-Fi Direct mode.
9. Select 'Apply' to save any changes made within main settings.
10. Make sure to remember SSID and passphrase to be able to connect to Tiger Box again at any later
time.
II.C.2. Switching between Wi-Fi Direct and Wi-Fi Network Client mode
You may switch configurations to run Tiger Box in Network Client mode. The advantage of the network
client mode is that you have access to all data provided through the host network (internet), and at the
same time you can use all wireless printing features through Tiger Box. Alternatively to using Wi-Fi
network client mode is to connect Tiger Box to another network via Ethernet cable. See section II.C.3
below for further information on this option.
Follow the steps below to connect Tiger Box in Wi-Fi network client mode to another network.
1. Select radio button 'Connect to another Network' within Main Settings of System page.

10
Tiger Box main settings in Wi-Fi network client mode
2. A selection box will appear to choose one of the available networks to serve as host for Tiger Box
in Network Client mode. Select your preferred local network from the list.
3. SSID of the selected network will show in edit fields below. Enter the passphrase (password) for
access to the selected network.
4. You may also change hostname of your Tiger Box, for example to differentiate between multiple
Tiger Box devices connected to the same network.
5. Upon selecting 'Apply' Tiger Box will switch to Wi-Fi network client mode.
Note: Current webpage user interface will not respond anymore as soon as Tiger Box is switched
to network client mode.
Be aware that from now on you will need to connect to the just selected host network and know its
passphrase to be able to access Tiger Box user interface again, or to print through Tiger Box. (See section
II.C.4. below.)
Connection to the host network might happen automatically, because your device remembers that
network, but still a restart of the browser window might be necessary, or even a power cycle of Tiger Box.
Tiger Box user interface needs to be called by given Tiger Box hostname, or its IP address (see section
II.C.4. below).
If you are planning any changes to the host network (SSID, passphrase), or are planning to move Tiger Box
out of reach of current host network, please reset Tiger Box to Wi-Fi Direct mode first, and afterwards re-
configure to Network Client mode with new properties. Otherwise Tiger Box will not be able to connect
to the network anymore, and consequently it will not be accessible anymore for printing.
If for whatever reason, access to Tiger Box is not possible anymore through any device connected to the
same host network, a hardware reset will be required as described in section II.D below.

11
II.C.3. Adding Tiger Box to wired local area network via Ethernet cable
Tiger Box can be connected to an existing local area network via ethernet cable between Tiger Box and
network router.
From the DHCP server an IP address is assigned to Tiger Box. This IP address will change periodically. To
know current IP address of Tiger Box in wired LAN connection, you have the following options.
1. The network administrator will be able to access current IP address from the server settings.
2. Use a network discovery app, for example 'Fing'.
3. Connect an active speaker to Tiger Box audio connector, make sure speaker volume is turned on,
and power cycle the Tiger Box (unplug power cable, plug back in). The Tiger Box will give an audio
message upon start-up including IP addresses for both, wireless as well as wired LAN connection.
You can switch from DHCP to static IP address within Tiger Box user interface 'System' page if desired.
The wired LAN connection will always add Tiger Box in network client mode to the existing LAN structure.
If you can dial in to this local area network with your mobile device, you will see the embosser @ tigerbox
in list of available printers, thus wireless printing is possible.
The Tiger Box wireless configuration is independent of the configuration for wired connection, so at the
same time, where Tiger Box is visible within network provided by the local router, it can still provide its
own Tiger Box Wi-Fi Direct host network.
II.C.4. Accessing Tiger Box user interface when connected to another network
After Tiger Box was switched to Wi-Fi Network Client mode by choosing to connect to another Network
in Main Settings under System section of Tiger Box user interface, you will need to connect to the specified
network to gain access to Tiger Box again.
1. Open settings on your mobile device and select Wi-Fi. A list of known networks should appear.
2. Select the network that you specified in 'Connect to another Network' in Tiger Box settings.
3. To access Tiger Box user interface, you need to know the Tiger Box hostname, or its IP address.
The hostname is 'tigerbox' by default, but you might have changed it as described in point 4 of
section II.C.2. above. Enter "http://<hostname>" ("http://tigerbox" by default) in your web
browser address line to access Tiger Box user interface.
Depending on router capabilities it might not work to accomplish connection trying to call through
hostname. In this case you will need to enter the IP address of Tiger Box in your web browser
address line, like "http://<ipadress>" (for example "http://172.20.21.128").
When using iOS, or newer Android mobile devices, the IP address can easily be found by going to
the print option of some app and looking up the list of available printers. Along with the name of
the Tiger Box printer, the IP address will be given.

12
iOS available Tiger Box printers with IP address information
A free network discovery app (e.g. Fing) can also be used to find current IP client address of Tiger
Box. This app will find all devices connected to the network that your mobile device is connected
to currently. Find Tiger Box, or whatever the given hostname for Tiger Box is, in the list of Devices
and see corresponding IP address paired with this name.
4. If you are getting a warning message when accessing Tiger Box user interface through IP address
for the first time, please select to trust the host.
5. The Tiger Box user interface still looks the same as in Wi-Fi Direct mode.
Tiger Box user interface Home page this time with Emprint SpotDot connected
Please find description of all items that are relevant in conjunction with printing through Tiger Box
explained in chapter III. below.

13
If for whatever reason, access to Tiger Box is not possible anymore from any device connected to the same
network, a hardware reset will be required as described in section II.D below.
II.D. Hardware Reset to Wi-Fi Direct Mode
You might run into situations where Tiger Box is configured to Wi-Fi Network Client mode, but connection
to the previous host network is not possible anymore. Without the connection to the host network, it will
not be possible to access Tiger Box user interface to change any configuration settings.
In this case follow these easy steps to perform a hardware reset of your Tiger Box which will result in
Wi-Fi Direct operation and thus provide direct access to Tiger Box Wi-Fi again.
1. Make sure to power Tiger Box OFF.
2. Plug in the USB dongle which was delivered with your Tiger Box.
3. Power Tiger Box ON.
4. Wait a minute.
5. Power Tiger Box OFF again.
6. Take out USB dongle.
7. Power Tiger Box ON again and check if it is running in Wi-Fi Direct mode again by trying to connect
to it via mobile device.
8. If Tiger Box is not available for Wi-Fi Direct connection, repeat steps 1 through 7 and wait a little
longer in step 4.
9. When connecting successfully to Tiger Box direct Wi-Fi, browse to the user interface home page
to change to desired configurations again as explained in document sections above.
