Printing You can use your web browser to print out your calendar. If you have set your calendar's width to Fill Browser Window (using the /Administer/General Settings menu), it will print out to the size of the paper you are using, automatically. Or you can use that menu to specify the overall width of your calendar in pixels, so you can print the full calendar correctly in either portrait or landscape mode. A good width for printing a calendar in portrait orientation is 700 pixels; for landscape, use 920 pixels.

Absolute and Sliding

Absolute position means that the monthly calendar displayed starts with the week of the 1st of the month. Sliding position means that the monthly calendar displayed starts with the current week. Be careful using the Sliding feature, as your users may expect the monthly calendar to start at the beginning of the month.
