# Scaled Printing

The procedure for printing a document with pages enlarged or reduced is as follows:

1. Open the printer driver setup window

2. Set scaled printing

   Select Scaled Printing from the Page Layout list on the Page Setup tab.

3. Select the paper size for the data

   Using Page Size, select the page size that was set with your application.

4. Set the scaling rate by using one of the following methods:

   - Select a Printer Paper Size

     Select a printer paper size, which is different from the Page Size, from the Printer Paper Size list. If the printer paper size is smaller than the Page Size, the page image will be reduced. If the printer paper size is larger than the page size, the page image will be enlarged.

   - Specify a scaling factor

     Directly type in a value into the Scaling box.

     The current settings are displayed in the Settings Preview on the left side of the printer driver.

5. Complete the setup

   Click OK.
   When you execute print, the document will be printed with the specified scale.

Important

- If the application software with which you created the original has the scaled printing function, configure the settings on your application software. You do not need to also configure the same setting in the printer driver.

- When Scaled Printing is selected, the Staple Side list box appears grayed out and is unavailable (when Duplex Printing is not selected).

- When Borderless Printing check box is checked, Scaled Printing cannot be selected.

Note

- Selecting Scaled Printing changes the printable area.
