Page Setup:
(figures 1 and 2)

Paper size
Before you can print a document, you have to make sure that
you have selected the actual paper size that you are using
in your printer. Our pages can be printed on both letter and
A4 formats. If you wish to print HTML pages in landscape,
you have to manually select the paper orientation. For pdf
files, however, this is not necessary, because paper
orientation is automatically adjusted.
-
Margins
Check the margins - if the margins are too large, some of
our pages may not be printed correctly. If you are not able
to print the page in its full width, please reduce the
margins. If you set the margins to less than 10 mm you will
definitely be able to print all pages.

Header ad Footer
Under "Page Setup" you can also customize page
headers and footers. In Netscape, the page header can
contain the document title and/or location (URL), while the
footer can include page number, total number of pages and
the current date. In Internet Explorer you can fully
customize both page headers and footers, which may contain
any text you wish.
Page Setup can be found in main menu, under File->Page
Setup. A dialogue box like this will appear:

- Printing:
When you click on "Print" (in the
main menu, under File->Print, or on the toolbar icon), a
dialogue box appears (figure 3). Make sure that the printer you
selected is properly installed, turned on and connected to your
machine or network. To adjust paper size, print quality,
resolution etc., click on "Properties".
If the color photographs from our site do not
look nice when printed, it probably means that your printer is
set to economy mode (for toner-saving printing). Make sure that
you have selected the highest printing resolution on your
printer.
