Changing the Scale of a Printed Image
With a PostScript file, you can enlarge your printed image from the printer’s front
panel by using the
Scale
option, accessed from the
Device setup
menu, as shown in
the menu graphic, below left.
Notice that, in order to use this feature, you have to
switch the front-panel graphics language setting from
Automatic
(the default) to
PostScript
.
If you regularly send non-PostScript files to your printer as well as
PostScript files, it is a good idea to switch this back to
Automatic
after using the
Scale
feature.
The
Scale
feature is useful:
If your software does not support large formats.
If your file is too large for the printer’s memory, and therefore you try reducing
the page size in your software and then scaling it up again using this front-panel
option.
