Menu


-blank-: Shows nothing in this part of the page. Title: Shows the title of the Web page. This is the title that appears in the main Firefox


window's title bar when you visit the page. URL: Shows the Web page's address. Date/Time: Shows the date and time when the Web page was printed. Page #: Shows the page number of each page. Page # of #: Shows the page number along with the total number of pages in the print job. For example, on the fifth page of a 30-page print job, this area would show Page 5 of 30. Custom: Use this option when you want your own text to appear in the header or footer. You can type in any text you want. You can also include one or more of the following codes to substitute some of the preset pieces of information when you print: &D: Date/Time &P: Page Number &PT: Page Number with Total Number of Pages &T: Title &U: Web site address For example, if a Web site's title is January Meeting Agenda, and you type Work Documents: &T into the left header position, the printed agenda shows Work Documents: January Meeting Agenda in the upper-left corner.             Configuring Print Options and Printing a Web Site The Firefox Print window, accessible from the Print button in the Print Preview window, allows you to choose which parts of a page to print, and how many copies to print, as I discuss in the following section. Tip If you don't want to preview a page before you print it or if you're using a Mac, you can bypass the Print Preview window and open the Print window directly from the main Firefox window by choosing File Print. If you print frequently, you can also add a Print button to one of your Firefox toolbars. See Chapter 18 for more information about toolbar customization.   Unfortunately, Firefox doesn't currently allow you to use the Print Preview feature to preview changes you make in the Print window. For example, if you use the Print Range feature in the Print window to determine which pages to print, the Print Preview feature still shows you all the pages in the Web page. The team and I hope to offer this functionality in a future release. Choosing which parts of a page to print You can save plenty of time and paper by printing only the parts of a Web site that you need. Of course, Web sites aren't broken into traditional pages - they just scroll on endlessly - so there are a handful of ways to specify a part. Firefox allows you to specify which parts of a page to print in three ways: with a page range, with a selection, and by indicating a certain frame. I discuss each of these options in the following sections. Printing by page range The Print Preview feature, which I discuss at length earlier in this chapter, allows you to see how a Web site will break down into pages when you print it. When you know which pages of a Web site you need, follow these steps to print them: Open the Print window. I provide instructions for doing so a bit earlier in this part of the chapter.
