Business Card Printing Tips for FREE Business Cards Creator
- In Internet Explorer go to File, then Page Setup, find the section labeled Headers and Footers.
- So you can return it to it's original state copy down on a piece of paper the characters listed under the Header and Footer fields.
Then delete all of the characters in the Header and Footer fields. See the first image below as an example of what you may find entered there.
- Next you want to set the top and bottom margins to 0.5 and the left and right margins to 0.25 so that the cards can be printed from top to bottom and from the left edge to the right edge. Perforated business card paper usually has 0.5" margins on all sides, the 0.25 side margins allow a little leeway.
- View the second image below as an example of how it should look when you are finished. If you don't set the margins correctly and you try
to print the cards you will end up with the cards being down too low on the page and the cards cut off on the right side.
- If after removing the header and footer and setting the margins the cards print too far up on the paper you can use the Top Margin setting on the Finish page to push it down. A larger number will move them down more than a smaller number.
An example of what you may find in your page setup properties tab.
How it should look when you are finished.
To Print the Front Side and Back Side:
- Press the Print Front button to print the front of the cards as you would print normally.
- To print the back side you will need to turn the page over with the front side facing up and press the Print Back button. Everyone's computer/printer setup
is different it may be necessary to experiment to determine the correct orientation of the paper into the printer to properly line up the front side with the back.
