Printing your Emergency Passage Numbers:

1. You will need an A5 size sheet of paper per Community Port. If you can't buy this, as a suspect you won't, simply fold your normal A4 sheet in half and cut the sheet along the fold. The resulting two A5 sheets can now be used to print out a copy for you and another for a friend.

2. Insert an A5 sheet in your printer with the guides set correctly. Select A5 paper size and Portrait Layout on your printer's page set up.

3. Display your required Community Port on your PC screen using Adobe Acrobat Reader, preferably V4. (Operating systems and browsers like Windows 98SE and ME or IE4/5/5.5 and Netscape 4.6 have this built in so all you 'll need to do is click on the desired port and it will all happen for you.
If it isn't loaded on your machine, simply click Acrobat Icon here and download it from the net. It's a really handy plug-in for reading numerous web based publications.)

4. The information sheet is displayed in a format called pdf. This pdf format comes with defined printer settings so, just select the print button on the Adobe window and it should print out your required Community Port details as an A5 print out.

5. You'll need to be quick as it prints out the first sheet because, to get all the information onto one page, you'll need to pick up the sheet and turn it over and feed it back into you printer before it starts to print the second page. (Make sure you get it the right way around.)

6. Finally, take an A5 laminate pouch and pass it through a laminator for a robust, waterproof card for your vessel's log.
