Printing
Printing with reference to web applications needs to be studied in detail. Some of the sites such as educational sites may put educative material on the net. This material needs to be printed for offline study.
On the contrary there are sites which do not allow the user to print the pages. The only alternative that is available with the user is using the print screen command. Most of us would think of these two alternatives in the printing option.
The third dimension of Printing is using it to note the programming language when the site is being built. This printing is also used when the software is being finally checked for its performance.
There are different web application printing strategies. One can print the HTML or the Text directly from the browser. The JavaScript button/activation can be used to print the HTML. A Separate software handler can be used to print Text. The Browser plug in can be used to print PDF.
Usually we see that the content on the web is not actually designed for printing or not fit for printing. A 100% lay out usually exceeds the size of the page. More over it is seen when we give a print command to print a website, one whole page is wasted to print just the last two lines of the website that carries information about violation of the copy write act.
The print preview and the printing can be made to undergo the following mentioned changes.
- The website should have the feature of shrink to fit by default so that the margins are not cut and the page layout fits the print page.
- Try to adjust the scaling rate so that the page accommodates maximum information.
For most of the businesses the printing of the text is necessary. When the text printing command is executed to print the document form the printer control panel, the window graphical system of the computer will slow down. The best way to avoid this reduction in the speed is by
- Creating an application that will take care of classified documents that are sent by the browser and
- Instructing the windows about the application that is going to handle the document.
Sometimes the only option left, is the selection of all the things to be printed, and print the selected area or copying the selection to notepad and then over to MS word finally to copied on a print page.
