Special Printing Format

When you print any browser page, it generally includes certain extraneous reference information at the top (header) and the bottom (footer) of the page. This includes the name of the document, printed page number, the URL, and date. Occasionally, you may want to print a document without this information. To do this, change the browser print controls. Restore these codes after printing to ensure they are available for subsequent browser print applications. You can copy and paste header/footer codes from the topic below (see To Restore Header and Footer Printing, below).
