  How to print legal forms (Claim of Lien and Satisfaction of Claim of Lien) directly off of SACM's web based Notice to Owner System in a recordable format.
 
  Depending on the web browser currently installed on your computer (Internet Exporer, Firefox, etc. ), most users printing a document off the web find there is additional information printed on the page as a "header" and "footer". This information ususally contains the page name, page number, url, date the page was printed, and the website address. All this is nice information to have but if you plan on recording a legal document such as a Claim of Lien or a Satisfaction of Claim of Claim of Lien at the county clerk's office, the header and footer interfere with the format of your document. Florida Statutes* currently require that a recordable document have a blank three inch (3") area for recording information at the top right of the document.

Turning this infomation off is done through the "page Setup" option of your web browser. Although there are many web browsers and versions, most have similar settings. In this example using Internet Explorer 7, go to your print menu and drop down the box for print settings:



Select Page Setup...

and then remove any text in the box for Header and Footer. Press "OK" and your setting have been changed. Next time you pring out pages from the internet, the header and footer will no longer appear on the page and you have a clean recordable document.
