Tips for Printing Web Pages There are so many different web browsers and printers, often with user-defined setups, that it is unrealistic to expect they will all output a webpage in the same way. The background pages in the Great Barrier Island section have printer-friendly versions. At the bottom of every background page, there is a link to the printer-friendly version. These versions have the top, bottom and the left-hand navigation removed to maximise the chance that all information fits on 1 or 2 page(s) when printed. All activity pages are print-friendly. There is minimal space devoted to navigation which is in the form of text-only links at the bottom of each page. These pages use a style sheet to set most of the text to 9pt Verdana. You should always Print . . . Prevew to see whether the printed output is going to fit onto pages in the way you would like. You can then set the printer to only print the pages you want, rather than to print all pages. Most of the suggestions below maximise the area for printing by removing headers and footers and setting smaller margins. Internet Explorer File . . . Page Setup Delete the header. It usually has information like this: &w&bPage &p of &P Delete the footer. It usually has information like this: &u&b&d Click OK and try File . . . Print. Netscape Navigator File . . . Page Setup There are 2 checkboxes ticked under header and 3 checkboxes ticked under footer. Click to remove each tick. Click OK and try File . . . Print. Notes: The printed output from other browsers and different versions of Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator can be altered in similar ways. If the content does not fit on one page, you can also decrease page margins in the File . . . Page Setup area. However, many printers will not let you set the top margin to zero as the printer needs some room to grab the paper before printing starts. If the content does not fit on one page, you may also need to alter the default printing page size from, say, letter to A4 in the File . . . Page Setup area. Page orientation should be portrait rather than landscape. If you are using some type of laser printer you can choose to print out at less than 100% size and therefore more information will apppear on a single page. Good luck ~ The Webmaster
