Printer Friendly Pages
All pages on qantas.com and related sites must be printer friendly. This means that all pages must be controlled by CSS styles so page will print to A4 portrait format and uses minimal ink.
The following standards must be adhered to:
Linking to Print a Page
- Icon Hyperlink to Print a Page must have the following:
Link text: Print Page
Icon: icon_printer.gif
- The request to Print is activated by selecting (CTRL P), File/Print from the browser window, or selecting the "Print Page" hyperlink.
- Once the "Print Page" hyperlink is selected the Print dialogue box must be displayed.
Design Constraints of Printer Friendly Page
- The printed version of an online page (The page sent to the printer), must be as close as is possible to the online version, fonts, styles and general layout. However it is a minimal version rendering B&W and the simple two-colour logo. This is to minimise the use of ink from the user’s printer. The styles are controlled by the CSS.
Example of printer friendly page:
- A new printer friendly Qantas logo or (site related logo) must be applied at the top left of the page.
