Having Trouble Printing
a Page?
|
Some browsers are
more helpful than others when it comes to printing out a web page.
If you are using
the Mozilla
browser, the page's text is likely to be "wrapped" and
the graphics repositioned to accommodate your printer and your paper
size.
If you are using
the Netscape
browser, the page is likely be automatically resized to fit the
paper size.
|
|
|
Not all browsers
are so intelligently designed, however. But you can get around this
limitation.
|
|
If your browser is
cutting off the right edge of the lines of text, see if you can
adjust your page settings.
For instance, in
Internet Explorer 6, go to the "File" menu item, choose
"Page Setup". This will cause a box to open up. You can
adjust the settings from within this box.
|
|
|
From the "Page
Setup" box, you can adjust the margins of your printed
pages.
A margin of a quarter
or a half inch should be sufficient to allow the display of a full
line of text on the printed page.
|
|
|
If your printer will
not allow for a sufficiently small margin, try changing the page
orientation from "Portrait" to "Landscape".
|
|
If you are printing pages
for the visually impaired, please note that Internet Explorer does allow
text to be enlarged a bit. (Use the top menu bar, and choose "View
=> Text Size => Larger".) On the other hand, Mozilla
and Netscape
allow the text to be enlarged about as much as you want.
Note: Lessons are to be
printed out for personal use ONLY. Bulk printing or printing in the course
of a business (such as creating handouts for a public-school classroom) requires
the negotiation of a site-license
contract.
