◦
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 A4-size
image, it is enlarged to fit the A2 paper. If the ISO A3 paper size is selected, the printer reduces a
larger image to fit the A3 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.

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.
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:
●
Off: 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.
To turn merge on, go to the front panel and press
, then , then Setup > Printing preferences > HP-
GL/2 options > Enable merge. You can set the merge option from your software in some applications.
Settings in your software override the front-panel settings.
