Page margins are determined by your web browser settings.









Page formatting...
is actually determined by your web browser settings.  To change the settings go to File, Page Setup and change the left and right margins to.25" to start and the top and bottom margins to .74".  If you do not like headers and footers printing on the web pages that you print, clear the header and footer text boxes.

Try a few different... settings and you will find one that is quite suitable.  Use the print preview feature of your web browser (under File) to see how the printed pages will look.

If your reports do not format correctly, you may need to experiment with your browser settings.

Printing Reports From Your Web Browser

Most clients do not have a problem printing their assessment reports, but I have seen some printed reports where the page formatting was off considerably. Web documents do not contain page breaks or other traditional print formatting commands. If your pages are not formatting correctly, here are a few tips that you can try which will hopefully resolve most or all of the problem. The following settings are assumed for proper printing:

  1. Screen Resolution 800 x 600

  2. Browser

    • Netscape 3.0 or above
    • Netscape Communicator
    • IE 4.0 or above

  3. Page Setup

    • Top Margin       = 0.50"
    • Bottom Margin = 0.50"
    • Left Margin       = 0.00"
    • Right Margin     = 0.00"

The left and right margins should be set to their lowest settings. Just enter "0" and browser should default to your printer's minimum required settings.

Web documents look fine on the screen because they are designed for visual presentation in web browsers.  It is surprising that there are no standardized printing formats such as page length, left and right margins, indents and tabs.

All web pages are written in a language called HTML.  That language does not provide printer page formatting capabilities so there is no way to control when a document should start printing on a new page.  This is a severe limitation which poses numerous problems for the printing of reports.  There are also differences with the various web browsers that have to be considered, not to mention the bugs that are found in different versions of the various browsers.

Candidate Resources, Inc., has developed a fairly stable method to do page formatting on the printer. This method has been tested extensively on several different brands of laser printers and some testing has been done using a Canon color inkjet printer.  You can print the evaluation reports with almost any web browser and printer, but Netscape seems to print the different pages properly, i.e. page headings and footers correctly.

Internet Explorer version 3.x does not  print properly.  It displays on the screen as intended to, but when you try to print a report, IE 3.x fouls up the vertical formatting and will print part of the following page on the current page and so forth.  The report will be completely accurate, but the page formatting will be off.  IE 4.0 seems to work correctly.

There are other techniques that can be utilized to get a clean printed report if you are having difficulties that cannot be resolved.  For instance, you can save the file to your disk as an HTML file.  Just be sure to save the file as an "HTML only" file and not as a complete web page.  Close your browser and then click on the file in Windows Explorer to open it.  When your browser reopens the file, try to print it and see if it is formatted properly.

If that does not work, go to File, Send, and send the report to yourself through email.  When you receive the email back, open the email and print the report.  This usually works.

If none of the above seems to fix the problem and you need a little help, let me know what browser you are using and the version number and I will see if we can't find a fix for your particular situation.
