Print Stylesheet 

Use

When wanting to print out a Web application, you can apply a stylesheet to the print out. This differs from the stylesheet for the screen display.  This proves useful if you only want to change the font size for the printout, for example.

Prerequisites

Only Internet Explorer is able to attach a stylesheet to printouts.

Procedure

...

       1.      To attach a stylesheet to your Web application, choose Insert ® Print Stylesheet.

       2.      You can find the range of stylesheets in the Select Print Stylesheet dialog box.  Select a stylesheet to see it in the preview window on the right-hand side.

       3.      To select a stylesheet for your Web application, select the required stylesheet and choose OK.

Only those stylesheets stored on the BW server are displayed in the selection list. If you want to use a stylesheet that is not in the list, for example, one that is stored on your Web server, mark the checkbox beneath the selection list, enter the URL and choose OK.

Result

Your Web application HTML now contains the additional tag:

<link href="MIME/BEx/StyleSheets/BWReports_print.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" media="print">

Although a stylesheet is set for the screen display by default, you must explicitly use Insert ® Print Stylesheet to attach the print stylesheet.

As a result, the printed Web application is formatted according to this stylesheet.
