Your problem may have to do with your computer settings. Please try the following solutions before contacting Customer Engagementopens in new window.
- Make sure your internet browser is set to allow cookies. The APA website depends on cookies to keep track of your login status, your access level, and other essential information. Also, make sure your computer’s firewall program (if you have one) does not block cookies.
- Clear your internet browser cache (the cache is a collection of folders holding temporary files created as you visit websites). Sometimes your internet browser retains an incomplete version of a temporary file, which prevents you from accessing the complete version until you have cleared the cache. In most browsers, you will typically find the option to clear your cache in the "Options," "Privacy" or "Security" settings. You can also use your browser’s help function to locate instructions on clearing the cache.
- All APA PsycArticles PDFs open and display in a new browser window, which is sometimes recognized by your pop-up blocker as a pop-up window. If you have an active pop-up blocker, you may need to turn it off, or set it to allow pop-ups from "apa.org." Pop-up blockers come in several forms. They are built into most browsers, included in many toolbar add-ons (e.g., Google Toolbar, Yahoo! Toolbar), or can be installed as stand-alone browser plug-ins.

There are several common problems when it comes to printing documents. Perhaps the right-most edge of the document is cut off because it is too wide to fit on the paper, or maybe the graphics are too large or do not fit on the paper. You may find a remedy in one of these common solutions:
If a PDF version of the document is available, we recommend you select that format to print. PDFs are designed as a printable format, where all text and graphics properly fit on the paper.
If you do not already have the free Adobe Acrobat Reader,opens in new window please download it. If you do have it, update to the latest version compatible with your computer’s operating system. Click on the link above—the download is free.
Try setting your printer to print the pages in landscape (wide) orientation as opposed to portrait. That should give you the full page without the right side cut off.
In most browsers, you can do this by going to the File menu → Print, and then clicking the “Properties” or “Preferences” button. This opens a window offering you all the options specific to your printer; look for an Orientation section, and click "Landscape."
Many browsers offer a “Scale” function, which allows you to shrink the image to be printed. For example, in Chrome, from the Print Preview page (which you access by going to File menu → Print) you can use the “Custom” setting to set your own percentage. Try entering 90 percent, 85 percent, or smaller, until you find the size that fits on your paper.
You may also try reducing the margin settings to allow more of the page image to fit onto the paper. If your browser provides such functions, you should find them either under the File menu, then Page Setup, or under File menu, then Print; or sometimes under File menu, then Print Preview.
