Scale to Fit option The Scale to Fit option specifies whether each formatted document page image is scaled to fit the target paper size. By default, Scale to Fit is selected when Print Document On is selected. If the setting is turned off, then the document page images will not be scaled, and are instead centered at full size on the target paper. If the document size is larger than the target paper size, then the document image is clipped. If it is smaller, then it is centered within the target paper. The following illustration shows preview images for a document formatted for legal-size paper with the Print Document On option selected, and the target size specified as Letter. Figure 18: Preview images - Legal on Letter; Scale to Fit off (left) and on (right) When the size for which the document is formatted (that is, the logical size) differs from the target size, the preview image uses a dashed gray line to show the boundaries of the logical page in relation to the target page size. % of Normal Size option The % of Normal Size option provides a slider bar to use for scaling the percentage setting. The default setting in the entry box is 100 percent of normal size. Normal size is defined as the paper size that is selected within the driver or what the driver receives from the program (if the program does not negotiate the paper size with the driver). The driver scales the page by the appropriate factor and sends it to the printer. The limits of the range are from 25 percent to 400 percent, and any values outside the range are clipped to those limits as soon as the focus is removed from the control (that is, when the TAB key is pressed or another control is selected). Any change to the scale also changes the page preview, which increases or decreases from the top-left corner of the preview. The slider bar controls the scale directly. The value in the edit box changes as the scroll bar indicator is dragged, and the preview image is updated to the new image scale. Each click on the scroll bar arrows increases or decreases the scale by one percent. Each click on the slider bar affects the scale by 10 percent. You cannot achieve an exact value by dragging the scroll bar indicator at the default Windows resolution; use the scroll bar indicator to approximate the desired value, and then use the scroll bar arrows to refine the value.

Scale to Fit option
The
Scale to Fit
option specifies whether each formatted document page image is scaled to fit the target paper size.
By default,
Scale to Fit
is selected when
Print Document On
is selected. If the setting is turned off, then the
document page images will not be scaled, and are instead centered at full size on the target paper. If the document
size is larger than the target paper size, then the document image is clipped. If it is smaller, then it is centered within
the target paper. The following illustration shows preview images for a document formatted for legal-size paper with the
Print Document On
option selected, and the target size specified as
Letter.
Figure 18: Preview images - Legal on Letter; Scale to Fit off (left) and on (right)
When the size for which the document is formatted (that is, the logical size) differs from the target size, the preview
image uses a dashed gray line to show the boundaries of the logical page in relation to the target page size.
% of Normal Size option
The
% of Normal Size
option provides a slider bar to use for scaling the percentage setting. The default setting in the
entry box is 100 percent of normal size. Normal size is defined as the paper size that is selected within the driver or
what the driver receives from the program (if the program does not negotiate the paper size with the driver). The driver
scales the page by the appropriate factor and sends it to the printer.
The limits of the range are from 25 percent to 400 percent, and any values outside the range are clipped to those limits
as soon as the focus is removed from the control (that is, when the TAB key is pressed or another control is selected).
Any change to the scale also changes the page preview, which increases or decreases from the top-left corner of the
preview.
The slider bar controls the scale directly. The value in the edit box changes as the scroll bar indicator is dragged, and
the preview image is updated to the new image scale. Each click on the scroll bar arrows increases or decreases the
scale by one percent. Each click on the slider bar affects the scale by 10 percent.
You cannot achieve an exact value by dragging the scroll bar indicator at the default Windows resolution; use the scroll
bar indicator to approximate the desired value, and then use the scroll bar arrows to refine the value.
