Frequently Asked Questions: Printing Proteus

Q: Can I Print Proteus using my computer printer?

A: Yes, all Proteus articles are specifically formatted to print out in readable format on your computer. The print out will not include banner advertisements or comments. You may print individual articles or you can print the entire issue.

Q: Why am I not seeing graphic elements when I print out Proteus?

A: Many webbrowsers come with default settings that do not allow graphics to print. You can easily override these settings so that Proteus graphics print correctly. Below you will find instructions on how to set your browser so that the proteus masthead appears on the printed version of the newsletter.

Internet Explorer

On the Tools menu, click Internet Options. Click the Advanced tab. Under Settings, scroll down until you find the Printing category. Make sure Print background colors and images is checked, and then click OK. You can get more information about this setting at: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/296326

Firefox

On the File menu, click Page Setup. On the Format & Options tab, under Options, select Print background (colors & images). Click OK.

Safari (probably set correctly by default but you might want to check)

On the File menu, click Print. On the Copies & Pages pop-up menu, click Safari. Select Print Backgrounds. Click OK.

Netscape®

On the File menu, click Page Setup. On the Format & Options tab, under Options, select Print background (colors & images). Click OK.

Q: When I print an article some of the content is cut off at the bottom or top of the page.

A: Because your computer is unique, it’s impossible for NAJIT to format Proteus so that it will automatically print correctly on every computer and printer set up. So you may need to preview the print page before you print, so you can adjust your top and bottom margins. From your browser, select Print/Preview. In the preview screen your browser should give you many options, such as shrinking or expanding the text, adjusting margins and other formatting that will allow you to print Proteus from your particular computer setup.

Q: Do I need permission to reprint Proteus articles.

A: If you are planning to print and distribution more than 10 copies of a Proteus article, you should contact NAJIT for specific permission. Any Proteus article that is quoted in other work should be properly credited.
