Firefox - Printing Roll Sheets

Firefox opens PDFs in its own viewer instead of using Adobe Acrobat. If you use Firefox and your roll sheets are printing Portrait instead of Landscape and look different than they should, use one of the following fixes.

You can change this in the print settings each time you print, or you can change it in the Firefox settings/preferences and change the viewer.

If you are using Windows

In your Firefox browser, open the menu and select Settings.
