How to print this chart

Please read this section carefully to successfully print this chart from this page. This section will not show up on the printable version page. Printing has been tested using the Internet Explorer 8 and 9, and Firefox 7.x. Safari in Windows does not have a print preview function, nor has it been tested. Google Chrome will not print this chart properly. Chrome printing does not allow for printing background colors and images.

  1. Use the link at the left, printable version. DO NOT USE - Download a PDF or Create a book
  2. Once you click the link, you can use the browser's print function.
  3. It is recommended you use the print preview first instead of just print.
  4. Check to make sure Shrink to fit and Print background images and colors is enabled.
    1. These two options are found under the page set up or in IE 8 and 9, you can click the icon that looks like a small gear.
    2. In Firefox, they are under page setup in print preview. Please note* Firefox might show broken borders in the chart in preview. This is normal and attributed to the rendering engine for its print preview function.

  5. You can adjust margins, headers and footers from the print preview function.
  6. Click the print button when the preview is how you want the chart to print.
