Rescale a print
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 does not support large formats.
You can rescale an image in the following ways:
●
In the Windows driver dialog: go to the Features tab and look at the Resizing Options section.
◦
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 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 Print dialog: select the Finishing panel, then Print document on to adjust 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.
●
On the Embedded Web Server's Submit Job page: select Advanced settings > Resizing.
◦
The Standard and Custom options adjust the image size to the standard or custom 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 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.
●
Using the front panel: select the Setup menu icon
, then Printing preferences > Paper options >
Resize.
