12.2 Optimizing a Page for Printing
You can optimize a page for printing by creating a specific Printer Friendly template and selecting that template on the Create/Edit Theme page.
Generally, a Printer Friendly template optimizes a page for printing. For example, a Printer Friendly template might:
-
Not display tabs or navigation bars
-
Display items as text instead of as form elements
If the theme you select does not include a printer friendly template, you can create a Printer Friendly template by creating a new page template.

12.2.2 Using f?p Syntax to Toggle to Printer Friendly Mode
Once you create a Printer Friendly template and select it, you can use f?p
syntax to toggle to Printer Friendly mode. Including the ninth f?p
syntax argument (PrinterFriendly
) renders the page in printer friendly mode (optimizing printed output). For example, you could include this argument when coding a link or creating a navigation bar icon.
