Printing Instructions

 


Printing the Profiles


The Community profiles listed are available in PDF files for web viewing or downloading purposes. If you wish to print any or all of the profiles please read the following information or you may wish to consider ordering what you need.


Paper size- Ledger page 11" x 17" (279mm x 432mm) is highly recommended and is the default setting for these documents. Many larger copiers can take ledger size paper but most desk printers have a maximum paper size of 8.5 x 11.


Orientation- Be sure to adjust your print settings for 'Landscape' and adjust accordingly if using smaller paper size to avoid waste. It is highly recommended that you use the 'print preview' button to ensure that the document layout is correct for the print job.


Print properties- For best results colour printing is recommended for the Community profiles. The profiles can be viewed and printed in black and white.

Tip of the Day
Add a little vinegar to water in a spray bottle. Give it to your preschooler with a dry cloth and ask your child to clean the front of the kitchen appliances. This will keep him busy and happy for some time, and will build feelings of competence.
