When you print a page in Internet Explorer 6, the default header and footer contain such information as the URL, date, and page numbers. You can suppress this information when printing by adding or deleting the header and footer codes in the Page Setup dialog box.

Header and Footer Codes table border

Internet Explorer uses codes to designate the various elements of the headers and footers. In order to suppress or print these elements, it is helpful to know what the codes mean. The following table lists the codes and what they represent.

NOTE: Keep in mind that these codes are case sensitive . This is most important with codes for date and time formats, as well as with codes for page number specifications. Capitalizing the wrong letter may give you a different header/footer than you wanted.
