Clipping or incorrect scale factor when down-scaling
in copies and prints
When doing copies or prints (from USB, Embedded Web Server, or printer driver), the scaling setting is
available with various possible options. If you are experiencing problems related to border clipping, or
it seems that your print has lost the scale-factor adjustment, please read this section carefully in order to
select the best value for the scaling setting in future jobs.
●
Precise scaling:
In this case, the content of the original image is scaled by the percentage factor
that you have selected. For example, in an original CAD image with a 1:100 scale, if user selects
scale to 50%, the printed plot will have an accurate scale of 1:200. Nevertheless, in the case of
down-scalings when selecting a fixed percentage, some clipping of the marginal content of the
plot may occur, as it is impossible for the printer to print up to the borders of the paper.
●
Scale to fit into page size:
In this case, the content of the original image is scaled by the
percentage necessary to make sure that all the content is correctly printed and no clipping occurs.
Nevertheless, in the case of down-scalings when selecting fit to page, the scale-factor adjustment
may not be an integer divisor of the original. For example, in an original CAD plot with a 1:100
scale on A2 paper size, if user selects scale to fit on A3 paper size, the scaling factor will not be
exactly 50% and the scale of the printed plot will not be 1:200 exactly. However, the plot will be
printed completely without clipping any content.
