Navigating Banner

When printing from Banner Self-Service (for example schedules, transcripts, class rosters etc.) you may notice that the print size is too small, part of the text gets cropped, or not all of the pages print.

You may need to experiment with your print settings to get different types of documents to print correctly. Some may need to be printed in portrait while others need to be printed landscape, some may need have the percentage size adjusted as well. Settings can also vary from one web browser to another.
