Step 2: Print
NOTE: When printing your letter, a line that includes the site name "PrisonerAlert" may appear on the bottom of your letter. We strongly suggest that this line be removed so we do not tie your correspondence to any organization. The link may be removed either by cutting off the bottom of the page, or by making a change to your browser settings.
Approximate postage costs from USA to Lao People's Democratic Republic
Please check with your local post office for exact postage fees.
Note: These changes are persistent—meaning, printing of the header and footer will be permanently turned off. If you would like to turn page headers and footers back on after using this site, please make note of your default settings before changing them. Once you have printed your letter, use the settings you had copied down to restore your page setup.
Upon launching the print window in the format of your choice, the print settings and preview pane will automatically load (if not, use CTRL+P / CMD+P, or the print button provided in the top right of the window). These options will look very similar across most modern browsers (eg. Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Microsoft Edge). Expand the More Settings pane, and under Options, ensure that the Print headers and footers option is unchecked (you should see the document preview update as you change this setting).
Other settings you may wish to change are to set Paper Size to US Letter (or A4 depending on your regional default), and use the Default setting for Margins.
