How to Print HTML Auction Materials without Headers and Footers

How you disable the printing of headers and footers varies depending on which of our supported web browsers you’re using.

If your browser isn’t covered on this page, consult its documentation for instructions.

  1. Press Alt+F on your keyboard to open the File menu.
  2. From the File menu, choose Page setup…
  3. In the “Headers and Footers” section of the Page Setup dialog box, choose “-Empty-” for all six drop-down menus.

If you’re using Firefox:

  1. Press Alt+F on your keyboard to open the File menu.
  2. From the File menu, choose Page Setup…
