Printing Images

You can print images in one of two ways:

1. Using MrSID, a special browser plug-in
2. Using an HTML window that requires no special configuration

Because the plug-in option enables special features, including certain save and print options, it is recommended that you use the MrSID plug-in to print images. The MrSID plug-in is available for free. To print images using one of the two available options, follow the instructions below:
