You can make the text (print) larger or smaller on this site by using the 'Text Size' buttons on the upper right area of each page.

The print icon will send the document to your printer
Printing a webpage
Please be aware the printed page is much different to the page you see on your computer screen. Icons, menus and pictures do not appear on the printed document and in some instances, the text size and page setup may need to be manually adjusted before printing. This will depend on the software program you are using and amount of information on the page.
Before printing, you can review the look of the printed page using the “Page Preview” function located under the “File” menu on the top left hand side of the screen. The page setup can also be changed from portrait to landscape from this menu.
