Rescale a print
You can send an image to the printer at a certain size but tell the printer to rescale it to a dierent size (normally
larger). This may be useful:
● If your software does not support large formats
● If your le is too large for the printer's memory—in this case, you can reduce the paper size in your
software and then scale it up again using the front-panel option
You can rescale an image in the following ways:
● In the Windows driver dialog: Go to the Layout Output tab and look at the Resizing Options section.
– The Actual size option leaves the size of the image unchanged.
– The Fit to 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 t the A2 paper. If
the ISO A4 paper size is selected, the printer reduces a larger image to t the A4 size.
– The % of actual 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 X Print dialog: Click Paper handling, check the box Scale to t paper size, and select the paper
size to which you want to scale the image. For example, if you have selected ISO A2 as the paper size and
you print an A3-sized image, it is enlarged to t the A2 paper. If the ISO A4 paper size is selected, the printer
reduces a larger image to t the A4 size.
● Using the front panel: Tap , then Default printing conguration > Paper options > Resize.
If you are printing to a single sheet, you must ensure that the image can actually t onto the sheet, otherwise the
image will be clipped.
Change the treatment of overlapping lines
NOTE: This topic applies only when printing an HP-GL/2 job.
The merge option controls the overlapping lines in an image. There are two settings:
● O: Where the lines cross, only the color of the top line is printed. This is the default setting.
● On: Where the lines cross, the colors of the two lines merge.
