The Advanced tab

This tab contains advanced-level options. These settings are stored only in the configuration profile and never in the loaded document.

- Document Braille: This dropdown lets you choose how Biblos should interact with the screen reader (JAWS or NVDA) to display the document text on the braille display. You can let the screen reader handle the translation, or use one of Biblos's braille groups or tables. By selecting a group or a custom braille table, you can achieve a high level of customization in how braille is rendered on the display.

- Data Transfer: This setting allows you to choose how Biblos sends data to the printer (either one page at a time or all at once as a single block).

- Report untranslated characters: If, during document preparation, some characters do not match the selected braille table, enabling this option will prompt Biblos to report how many characters couldn't be translated. These untranslated characters will be represented using a special customizable code, set in each braille table's properties. The window also displays which characters were not translated.

- End-of-line code: This field lets you enter the control codes to use as end-of-line markers. The special symbol “^” can be used here. The default end-of-line codes are CR (Carriage Return) and LF (Line Feed), which are ASCII 13 and 10. If needed, you can modify these codes by entering your preferred string. To use no end-of-line code, simply delete the contents of this field. The default value is “^13^10”.

- End-of-page code: This field lets you configure the end-of-page code. Typically, this is FF (Form Feed), ASCII value 12. Just like the previous field, any string of characters can be used here, including the “^” marker. The default value is “^12”.

- Preview encoding: From this dropdown, you can choose the general encoding to be used in the braille preview. This setting helps ensure the preview is correctly readable on your braille display.

- Print braille code chart: This button prints the braille codes as recognized by your printer. This function is useful only if the braille encoding set in your printer does not match any of the braille models configurable in Biblos. The list of codes will help in creating a new braille model, which requires collaboration.
