Printing Information

To print:
1. Change the settings as desired in the print window.
2. **Make sure that all pop-up blockers are turned off**
3. Click on "Print Map" to open a new Browser window with the map image and title displayed (your existing map page remains in the background).
4. You can then use the browser's File-Print function to send the display to your printer.

**It is STRONGLY recommended that you switch your print layout to LANDSCAPE** (done in your printer's properties when you go to print)

Note that your map may change slightly from the one in the viewer to the image created for printing. This is simply do to printer and display settings. You may need to adjust your map (zoom in/zoom out) to get your desired results

If you wish to change any settings after generating the print preview page, you will need to close the print page, return to the main mapping page and create a new print page.


OPTIONS

Map Title

The title you type will be displayed at the top of the printed page.

Print Size

You may choose a size from the options listed, or enter a size in terms of pixels.

Technical note: the size is based on the standard 96 dpi in viewing the map. The actual map image produced will be adjusted based on the selected printer resolution dpi.

Printer Resolution

You should choose a printer resolution setting that matches the printer you will be using. This will ensure the best map image quality. If necessary check your printer resolution before continuing. In Windows 2000, for example, you can check the printer resolution by choosing Start-Settings-Printers, right-clicking on the printer you intend to use, and choose Properties. In the "General" tab, click on "Printing Preferences", then on "Advanced". In the Advanced options, the Print Quality setting shows the current/default resolution (dpi) setting, and any available settings. If you choose a Printer Resolution setting for the map that does not match the printer default, be sure to change the printer setting before printing the map.
