Portrait button. Landscape Sometimes you simply need to print something that's wider than the standard 8 1/2 inches of a normal sheet of paper. To "turn" the page, click the Landscape button. Note that if you select Landscape mode, you'll wind up with many more printed pages because less content fits on each page. You can select which pages to print from the Print window. Tip You can also change the orientation setting from the Page Setup window, without having to open Print Preview. To open the Page Setup window, choose File Page Setup in the main Firefox window. However, changing this setting in the Print Preview window allows you to preview a Web site in each orientation. The orientation setting affects all Web sites you print, not just the Web site you're currently viewing. Printing background colors and images By default, Firefox doesn't print background colors and images because doing so can make pages more difficult to read, as well as using a tremendous amount of ink. You can change this behavior from the Page Setup window by following these steps: The Page Setup window is also accessible via the Page Setup button in the upper-left corner of the Print Preview window. On the Format & Options tab, select the Print Background (Colors & Images) check box. Click OK. This setting affects all Web sites you print, not just the Web site you're currently viewing. Changing margins, headers, and footers Firefox includes information about Web sites you print in the top and bottom margins (called the header and footer, respectively) of the printed page, such as the site title, page number, and date. To make more room for the page itself, you can shrink these margins. To include a more spacious border around the page, you can enlarge the margins. You also can customize the information that appears in the margins. Customization options include removing the title and changing where the date appears. To get to the Margins & Header/Footer options, follow these steps: Click the Margins & Header/Footer tab. The following two sections discuss the options on this tab, which are shown in Figure 12-6. Figure 12-6: The Margins & Header/Footer tab in the Page Setup window. The Margins area This area has four boxes that represent each of the margins on the page, as shown in Figure 12-6. The default value for each of the margins is 0.5 (half an inch), but you can change one or more of these. When you type in a new value, the preview image adjusts to the new margin. REMEMBER Most printers require a minimum amount of margin space, since they can't print right along the edge of a page. This requirement varies among printers, and your printer's instructions may indicate its particular requirements. To be on the safe side, it's a good idea to ensure that you have at least 0.2 inches of margins on each side. The Headers & Footers area This area contains six drop-down lists that correspond to six positions on the printed page. You can use these drop-down lists to change what appears in each position. The first row of drop-down lists corresponds to the left, center, and right positions of the header (the top margin), and the second row corresponds to the left, center, and right positions of the footer (the bottom margin). You can select from the following options to include in each position:
