# Poster Printing

The poster printing function allows you to enlarge image data, divide it into several pages, and print these pages on separate sheets of paper. When the pages are pasted together, they form a large print like a poster.

The procedure for performing poster printing is as follows:

## Setting Poster Printing

1. Open the printer driver setup window

2. Set poster printing

   Select Poster Printing from the Page Layout list on the Page Setup tab.
   The current settings are displayed in the Settings Preview on the left side of the printer driver.

3. Select the print paper size

   Select the size of the paper loaded in the printer from the Printer Paper Size list.
   Now you have finished setting 2 by 2-page poster printing.

4. Set the number of image divisions and the pages to be printed.

   If necessary, click Specify..., specify the following settings in the Poster Printing dialog box, and then click OK.

   Image Divisions

     Select the number of divisions (vertical x horizontal) from the Image Divisions list. As the number of divisions increases, the number of sheets used for printing increases, allowing you to create a larger poster.

   Print "Cut/Paste" in margins

     To leave out words "Cut" and "Paste", uncheck this check box.

     Important

     - This feature is unavailable when the 64-bit printer driver is used.

   Print "Cut/Paste" lines in margins

     To leave out cut lines, uncheck this check box.

   Pages

     To reprint only specific pages, enter the page number you want to print. To print multiple pages, specify by separating the pages with commas or entering a hyphen between the page numbers.

     Note

     - You can also specify the print range by clicking the pages in the setup preview.

5. Complete the setup

   Click OK on the Page Setup tab.
   When you execute print, the document will be divided into several pages during printing.
   After all poster pages have been printed, paste the pages together to create a poster.

## Printing Only Specific Pages

If ink becomes faint or runs out during printing, you can print the pages you still need, by following the procedure below:

1. Set the print range

   In the Settings Preview on the left of the Page Setup tab, click the pages that do not need to be printed.
   The pages that were clicked are deleted, and only the pages to be printed are displayed.

   Note

   - Click the deleted pages to display them again.

   - Right-click the Settings Preview to select Print all pages or Delete all pages.

2. Complete the setup

   After completing the page selection, click OK.
   When you execute print, only specified pages will be printed.

Important

- When Poster Printing is selected, the Duplex Printing and Print from Last Page check boxes and the Staple Side list box appear grayed out and are unavailable.

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

- Since poster printing enlarges the document when printing it, the print results may become coarse.
