Introduction
To print a calendar, click on the link "Show printable version of calendar" to show a printable version, that do not have the adverts, the hyperlinks, and the other options at the bottom of the normal calendar. Then, click the Printer-symbol of your browser, or select "Print" from the File-menu of your browser.Please note that accuracy of the calendars are not guaranteed, you use the calendar on your own risk, see the Disclaimer for more information.
Problems
When printing a calendar for many months, many pages might be needed, and the calendar might be cut in the middle of a month, making it difficult to use.If this happens to you, please use the calendar customizer to print just a few months at a time, at one single page at a time. You may also select "Print Setup" to see if you can change the size/zoom of the page, to see if you can zoom the calendar to one single page.
Fitting a calendar to one page
Often, when printing a standard calendar, the calendar will not fit into one single page. On most browsers, there is a possibility of using smaller fonts, and through some experimenting, the calendar will usually fit on one page - at least for a 12-month calendar.Internet Explorer 5.5 and 6.0 and Firefox has a nice "Print Preview..." option in the File menu, which can save you some time and paper. In Internet Explorer 7.0 this option is available with the Print Icon (see IE 7.0 below)
Removing header and footer of print page
Internet Explorer prints a header with the title of the page, and footer with the URL. If you do not want these, you can turn them off from the File - Page Setup menu (Internet Explorer up to 6.0) or Print Icon Dropdown -> Page Setup. Then clear the two "Header" and "Footer" fields, or write your own header or footer.Changing the calendar size with Internet Explorer 7.0
- First select the "Printer-Friendy format" link below the calendar itself, this option will remove the logo, link and advertising.
- Then click the little drop-down icon right of the Printer Icon (top red circle).
- Then select Print Preview... (bottom red circle) and the Print Preview dialog will open:
- The default "Shrink to Fit" option at the top right (red circle) will often be the best, but it is possible to select other sizes as well there.
- On the left and top side of the calendar display, there are some arrows that can be used to change the default margins.
- The left icon (with red circle) will print the calendar.
Changing the text size with Internet Explorer 5.0, 5.5 and 6.0
The above picture shows how to change the font size using Internet Explorer 5.0. Experiment with "Smaller" or "Smallest" and see if the calendar will fit into one page. You will probably have to print a test page for each size - or better, use the print preview option.
Changing the text size with Firefox/Mozilla/Netscape
The above picture shows how to change the font size using Mozilla-based browsers, such as Firefox and Netscape - using the "View" menu, Text Size and selecting "Decrease" there.
Experiment with the Decrease and Increase Font menu choices until the calendar will fit into one print. You will probably have to print a test page for each size.
