You can send an image to the printer at a certain size but tell the printer to rescale it to a different size (normally larger). This may be useful if your software or your computer cannot cope with a large image.
You can rescale an image in the following ways:
-
In the Windows driver dialog: select the Effects tab, then select an option from the Resizing Options section.
-
The Actual Size option does not rescale the image.
-
The Print Document On option adjusts the image size to the paper size you have selected. For example, if you have selected ISO A2 as the paper size and you print an A3-sized image, it is enlarged to fit the A2 paper. If the ISO A4 paper size is selected, the printer reduces a larger image to fit the A4 size.
-
The % of Normal Size option enlarges the printable area of the original paper size (the page minus the margins) by the percentage indicated, then adds the margins to create the output paper size.
-
-
In the Mac OS Print dialog: select the Paper Handling panel, then Scale to fit paper size, and select the paper size to which you want to scale the image. If you want to increase the size of the image, make sure that the Scale down only box is unchecked.
If you are printing to a single sheet, you must ensure that the image can actually fit onto the sheet, otherwise the image will be clipped.
