Tips for Printing Your Certificate

How to suppress headers and footers when you print the certificate

Many web browsers include a default page setup which adds headers and/or footers to a web page when it is printed. This feature allows you to set the headers/footers to print a variety of information. However, in some cases, such as when you print your certificate, you may want to suppress the headers and footers.

To "turn off" the header/footer, follow the steps below. The terms used here are as they appear in the Internet Explorer browser (if you are using a different browser, the terms may be slightly different but the function is similar).

  1. Select File -> Page Setup from browser menu.
  2. When the Page Setup dialog box appears, delete all the text that appears in the Header and Footer fields.
  3. Click OK.
  4. Select Print to print the page (you can preview the print version first to verify that you have successfully suppressed the headers and/or footers).

Other tips for printing the certificate

The Wild Iris logo and signatures are images. If you have turned off the automatic download of images when viewing web pages, you may need to enable the images to download before printing.

You can print the certificate in color or in black and white.

Printing at a normal quality setting (rather than "quick" or "draft") will produce a sharp-looking certificate, as will using good quality paper when you print.
