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 browser settings allow one to suppress the printing of background colours and wallpaper in order to avoid using coloured ink. Near the left-hand top corner of the screen, click on TOOLS, then on INTERNET OPTIONS, then on ADVANCED. Find PRINTING and check/uncheck as you require.
 
All the pages of this issue of MTR are set to a width of 640 pixels (about 15cm) and should therefore fit into the width of an A4 page (21cm) in 'portrait' format.
 
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.

Print a web-page
There are three ways to print a web-page, i.e. the visible screen plus what lies above and below.
1.. The simplest way to print a web-page is to press Ctrl+P, ie. press and hold down the 'Ctrl' key (in the left- or 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.
3.. Click on FILE in the near the left-hand top corner of the screen. There are three options: a.. Page Setup [gives access to adjustments and settings], b.. Print [sends the web-page file to the printer], c.. Print Preview [displays the web-page as it will appear when printed].

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.

Print only the visible 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 and 1980'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 (i.e. insert) the contents of the clipboard into a document which may then be printed.
