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 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
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: select the Paper Handling panel, then Scale to t 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 t onto the sheet, otherwise
the image will be clipped.

quality.
