Printing posters

A single page enlarged to a nine page poster.

The poster finishing option is designed to print a single-page as a 4, 9, or 16-page poster. For example, you can enlarge a photograph to poster size.

Step 1: Load the paper

Load up to 100 sheets of paper against the right side of the sheet feeder and slide the paper guide next to the paper. For help, see page 2.

Note: For the best print quality, use a heavy-weight paper.

Crop marks make it easy to trim the poster pages.
