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 paper with the Print Document On option selected, and the target size specified as Letter. Figure 19. 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 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 selected within the driver or what the driver receives from the application (if the application does not negotiate paper size with the driver). The driver will scale the page by the appropriate factor and send 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. The following settings disable % of Normal Size: • Print Document On is selected. • Pages per Sheet is not 1. • Booklet Printing is ON.

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 paper with
the
Print Document On
option selected, and the target size specified as
Letter.
Figure 19.
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 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 selected within the driver or what the driver
receives from the application (if the application does not negotiate paper size with
the driver). The driver will scale the page by the appropriate factor and send 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.
The following settings disable
% of Normal Size
:
•
Print Document On
is selected.
•
Pages per Sheet
is not 1.
•
Booklet Printing
is ON.
