Print help
A few settings make a clearer worksheet.
- 1
Match your paper
Select US Letter or A4 in the tool and use the same size in your printer settings.
- 2
Keep the original size
Download the PDF, then choose Actual size or 100% in the print dialog. Avoid Fit to page if you want the letter size to stay the same.
- 3
Check one page first
Use the preview to check the name and page count. Print one sheet before a class set.
When something looks wrong
Which names can I use?
The worksheet supports Latin letters and accents, Cyrillic, Chinese, Japanese and Korean characters in its fonts. Chinese, Japanese and Korean names use square guides. An unavailable character will show an error before you download.
A Han character looks different
Auto uses Japanese forms when a name contains kana and Korean forms when it contains Hangul. For names with shared Han characters, Auto follows the Worksheet language setting. Choose Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, or Korean there; Character forms overrides Auto. This changes character shapes only; it never translates or rewrites the name.
The page is cut off
Check that the paper sizes match. If your printer clips an edge, use Fit to printable area and check a test page. This may make the letters slightly smaller.
A long name looks small
Long names are reduced to fit the writing area. Try a larger letter size in More settings and check the preview. If the name still fills the line, use a shorter form only if that is the name you want the child to practise.
The dotted letters look faint
Try standard or high print quality and switch off draft or toner-saving mode. Light gray is a different tracing style; choose Dotted if you want dotted letters. Check one printed sheet before printing the full set.
