Tip: The legend is limited in size to the vertical height of your print. If your legend is larger than the space available, remove some layers from your legend print selections.
- Map Orientation: Choose from a portrait or landscape orientation.
- Map Size: Choose from the following sizes: 8.5x11, 8.5x14, 11x17, 17x22, 22x34 or 44x34.
- Map Scale: Choose a unit of measure in feet: current view or 1 inch = 250 feet. Or, define a custom unit of measure.
- Search Results: Select whether you would like the current Search Results List (if applicable) to be included on your print out
- Note:
In Internet Explorer 11+, when using the print option to print a large map area(s) with several data layers visible, at a large print size (44x34 or 22x34) you may experience extended load times.
In rarer cases, you may experience a "time out" error from the browser. If this happens, try reducing the amount of visible data layers or zoom in to reduce the map area.
