Printing the New Survey Format
We just released a new design for our survey. This new design shows up when a respondent is taking an email or phone survey. It also shows up when viewing a completed response. I’ve had a couple questions today about printing this new survey format. I figured it would be best to write up an entry here.
There are two simple things that need to be configured when trying to print the survey. The first is ‘Printing background images and colors‘ and the second is ‘Setting your left and right margins‘. You’ll only have to do this one time and your browser will remember these settings for you. The overwhelming majority of our users use Internet Explorer 6 and 7, so I’ll write up a how-to for each browser because the steps vary slightly. If you do not know if you use Internet Explorer 6.x or 7.x, you can find out here.
If you are using Internet Explorer 6.x, then follow these steps…
1). From the toolbar menu select Tools -> Internet Options.
2). Select the Advanced Tab.
3). Scroll down to the Printing section and check the box next to ‘Print background colors and images‘
4). Hit Ok
5). To set the left and right margins go to File -> Page Setup
6). Set Left Margin to .25 and the right margin to .25
7). Hit Ok
If you are using Internet Explorer 7.x, then follow these steps:
1). From the Tools button in the right hand side of your browser toolbar select Internet Options.
2). Select the Advanced Tab.
3). Scroll down to the Printing section and check the box next to ‘Print background colors and images‘
4). Hit Ok
5). To set the left and right margins hit the Printer button in the right hand side of your browser toolbar and select Page Setup.
6). Set Left Margin to .25 and the right margin to .25
7). Hit Ok
