The map doesn't print very well on my computer. What can I do to improve the printing?

The Well Spacing Map is presented as an HTML web page. As such it suffers all the quirks common to printing web pages. Here are some suggestions to improve printed pages:

• Printed web pages look most like the on-screen display if the paper size used is at least as large as the map web page itself. So try printing to legal or tabloid size paper in landscape orientation.
• The Spacing map is composed of three frames. The upper-left frame shows the map. The upper-right frame shows the navigation and layers tabs. The lower frame shows messages and the approved spacing records. Try printing the frames separately by right-clicking the page background in each frame and selecting Print from the context menu.
• If the approved spacing list contains many records, print the lower frame by right-clicking on the lower frame background and selecting Print. This enables you to print the entire list rather than just the first few rows of the list.
• The Page Setup dialog available in Internet Explorer enables you to change only the most common print settings. Try opening up the detailed dialog for your printer and confirming that the settings (page size, orientation, font substitution, image options, etc.) are as you need them to be.
• Right-click the map and select Print Picture to print the map image.
• Right-click the map and select Save Picture As to save the map image to a file. You can then open that image in another application or insert it into another document and print it from there.
• Select the content of the screen, paste it into another document, and print it from there. This works well when you want to change the formatting of the approved spacing list in the lower frame. The list is displayed in one or two HTML tables and can be copied and pasted into an Excel spreadsheet where it can be reformatted and printed.
• Take a screen shot (Alt + PrtScrn keys) and print that screen shot from another application.
• Your printing results are a function of your printer's capabilities (some printers don't print images) so try printing to a different printer. The maps are most useful when printed in colour.

Finally, your printing results are also a function of how your computer is configured. If you have access to computer support at work, ask them to have a look and see what they can suggest. It may be that they can adjust your computer settings to improve your printing results.
