Articles can be viewed in three formats:

Article - shows a scanned version of just the article with the terms highlighted

Page - shows a scanned version of the entire page with the terms highlighted, and the article outlined in red (however, it prints just the article)

Adobe Acrobat - shows a PDF version of the scanned article, no terms are highlighted

There is no definitive method for printing from The Times Digital Archive - there are a number of different formats available and staff do not favour one method over another - each is suited to particular circumstances such as the length of the article and the number of columns the article spans

Printing Tips

- Article and Page will print with terms highlighted, Adobe Acrobat will not highlight terms

- Only use the print buttons provided within the database - we recommend that you do not use the browser print button

- Article and Page will only print the cited article, Adobe Acrobat will print the entire page

- Article and Page will print out the article on a single page of paper. If the article is long or spans many columns then this will effect the print size. Long articles may also be rotated so that the size of the print-out will be maximised

- Changing the size of the article you are viewing on screen will not change the printed size. Choose 'Article' and then to change the print size choose "E-Mail or Retrieval" on the left, and choose 2 1/2 landscape (which prints two pages horizontally), or 4 1/4 portrait (which prints four pages vertically). Pages will open in Adobe Acrobat as a PDF file

- In Adobe Acrobat (1 page format) use the graphic select tool located on the Adobe Acrobat toolbar to select an area, then choose print. Make sure that, in the print range section "graphic" is selected. Use this option to get the largest printed version. The printer will automatically determine, from the area you have set, whether to print in portrait or landscape

Please note that you can only select a single area. The larger the area, the smaller the final print-out will be, since it will 'shrink to fit' one piece of paper
