FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I generate a calendar for a specific month?
Use the month and year dropdowns in the editor. The grid updates automatically with correct day placement. February adjusts for leap years.
How do I print without margins cutting off edges?
Set margins to the narrowest option in your printer settings. Select actual size rather than fit to page. Do a test print first.
Should my calendar start on Monday or Sunday?
European and international calendars typically start Monday. US calendars start Sunday. Choose whichever feels natural. Monday start keeps business days grouped together.
How can I use printed and digital calendars together?
Use digital for detailed scheduling and reminders. Use printed for monthly overviews and visual reference. Transfer key dates by hand as a review exercise.
Can I make a year-at-a-glance calendar?
Generate all 12 months and use your printer settings to print multiple pages per sheet. Four months per A4 page works well for a compact yearly overview.
