Only a part of the page prints.
If the left and/or right margins of the page are "cut-off" (Internet Explorer only):
from the File menu, select Page Setup and change the page orientation from Portrait to Landscape.

If only a section of the page prints, the web page includes "frames".
Frames partition a web page into sections or areas. To print a page that was built with frames please do the following:
  • If you use Internet Explorer, selecting Print from the File menu will show you the Print Window.
    If 'As laid out on the screen' from the 'Print Frames' option is selected, the entire page will be printed.
  • If you use Netscape, the page cannot be printed as it appears on the monitor. Netscape will only print the active frame. To activate a frame, click on the area you wish to print Then select Print Preview from the File menu before printing to ensure the correct frame is selected.
