How to print a copy of Machine Translation Review

Machine Translation Review may be successfully printed using even a printer as comparatively simple as a nine-pin dot-matrix.
 
It is possible that background colours and other features might not be printed by your computer system. Please investigate the settings of the browser and printer which you are using. Some settings allow one to suppress the printing of background colours and wallpaper in order to save coloured ink.
 
Page numbering, so simple when applied to book pages, is shown near the top of each page as an estimate. The actual page numbering, when printed, will depend upon the paper size, the margins and the font size.
 
There are two ways to print a screen. Once you have initiated the printing process there may be a pause of thirty seconds or more. This is because a great deal of formatting has to be performed by software in order to get the screen image to fit onto the size of paper in your printer.
1.. The simplest way to print a page is to press Ctrl+P, ie. press and hold down the 'Ctrl' key (in the left- and right-hand lower corners of the alphabetical part of the computer keyboard) and then press the P key. Then release both keys.
2..The longer method relies upon the print icon being displayed in the task-bar on the browser screen. Click on the icon.

Print everything
  1. Click on Front Cover, in the list above
    and the front cover should then appear on the screen.
  2. Click on the [Print icon/button] in the browser task-bar
        (to print the front cover)
        or ignore this instruction (ie. don't print).
  3. Click on the BCS Coat of Arms
        (to display the next item).
  4. Click on the [Print icon/button] in the browser task-bar
        (to print the item) or ignore this instruction (ie. don't print).
  5. Click on [next item] in the yellow page task-bar
        (to display the next item).
  6. Repeat instructions 4 and 5 until you have printed the last item.

Print a single article
  1. Click on the article name in the list above
    (and the article should then appear on the screen).
  2. Click on the [Print icon/button] in the browser task-bar
    (and the printer should then start printing the article).

Print only the current screen
If you want to print only what appears before you on the screen, then press the [Print Screen] key on the computer keyboard. It is usually in the top row near the right-hand end. This misnamed key is a relic from the 1970's when its use actually copied the current screen directly to the printer. Now it merely copies the current screen to the clipboard. You can inspect this in a Windows system by clicking [Start/Programs/Accessories/Clipboard Viewer]. You will need to paste (ie. insert) the contents of the clipboard into a document which may then be printed.
