Printing

The Online Parcel Information System uses HTML frames to organize and display maps and parcel data. The main HTML document is divided into six frames:

1. Main Map Frame
2. Location Map Frame
3. Text Frame
4. Tools Frame
5. Status Frame
6. Title Frame

Different browsers handle the printing of frames differently. Microsoft's Internet Explorer 5.0 allows you to print frames as they are laid out or you can choose to print frames individually. Netscape Communicator 4.5 only allows you to print one frame at a time. Depending on the browser, you can specify your printing options.

OPTION 1: USING PRINT FRAMES BUTTON LOCATED IN THE TOOLS FRAME
- When the information that you wish to print is displayed in your browser (i.e. Map Frame at selected extent and Text Frame displaying Parcel attribute information), click the Print Frames button located in the Tools Frame. This event will open a new browser window where the pertinent frames will be displayed in a single HTML document, without using the tags associated with framesets. IF YOU ARE USING NETSCAPE 4.5, THIS IS YOUR ONLY OPTION FOR PRINTING MORE THAN ONE FRAME ON THE SAME PAGE.
- From the File menu choose Print. The frames will be printed as shown in the newly opened browser window.
- Close the print browser window.

OPTION 2: MICROSOFT INTERNET EXPLORER 5.0 - PRINT FRAMES AS LAID OUT
- From the File menu choose Page Setup to display the Page Setup dialog.
- Under Orientation select the Landscapeoption.
- Click OK to close the Page Setup dialog.
- From the File menu choose Printto display the Print dialog.
- Under Print frames select the As laid out on screen option.
- Click OKto print.

OPTION 3: MICROSOFT INTERNET EXPLORER 5.0 - PRINT ONLY THE SELECTED FRAME
- Click the right mouse button in the frame you want to print.
- From the Pop-up menu choose Print to display the Print dialog.
- Under Print frames select Only the selected frame option.
- Click OK to print.

OPTION 4: MICROSOFT INTERNET EXPLORER 5.0 - PRINT ALL FRAMES INDIVIDUALLY (DEFAULT)
- From the File menu choose Print to display the Print dialog.
- Under Print frames select the All frames individually option.
- Click OK to print.

OPTION 5: NETSCAPE COMMUNICATOR 4.5 AND UP - PRINT ONLY THE SELECTED FRAME
- Select the frame you want to print by clicking in that frame. To select the map frame you can either click the right mouse button in the frame or select the hand icon and click in the center of the map.
- From the File menu choose Print Frame to display the Print dialog. (Alternately you could choose Print Preview to make sure you have selected the right frame).
- Click OK to print.
