Due to a lack of standardization on both the viewing mechanism (browser) and printing mechanism (printer),
the results of printing Incarna online materials may vary greatly. Check the following
areas for answers to your printing issues:
Simple Suggestions
Because the materials are constantly being updated for spelling, grammer, layout changes and content updates,
the value of the printed material is decreased. The fact that such mistakes do not incurr massive re-print
costs allows the designers to focus on the content specifically and getting it to market (not to imply spelling and grammer are not checked prior to release).
Ways to reduce your own cost of printing: 1) Print two pages per sheet in landscape mode. This reduces ink and paper
costs and makes it more portable. 2) Change the print mode to "draft" to save on ink (and speed the printing!).
- Before printing a large set of materials, print a selection and see how it turns out.
- Check your browser and printer settings to make sure they can accommodate the colors and layout of materials.
- Most Frequent Problems (and fixes);
- Background colors not printing: Make sure you have this option enabled in your browser when you print.
- Left hand navigation elements are printing: These should only print on the first page, separately from all other materials - if they print at all.
If the left navigation space continues to take up room on a page,
export the file to another formats (.doc, etc.) and try adjusting the layout from there.
- Right side of materials gets cut off when printing: Web browsers do not allow you to adjust margins. For best results try exporting to another file format (.doc).
- If you continue to experience problems, report them by navigating to the appropraite materials, and using the feedback Quick Link
Browser Settings
- Background Color Printing - Most browsers have this turned off by default to save on ink and printer wear. This should be enabled for best results.
