Using Proportional Printing

When you want to make the printed size of a document different from its actual size, you can use your printer software’s proportional printing features to reduce or enlarge it, without having to reformat the document. You can proportion the document to fit on a selected paper size, or reduce or enlarge it by a selected percentage.

Follow these steps to use proportional printing:

1.Follow the steps on page 2-12 to access the printer software and select the Paper tab.

2.Click the Paper Size list and select the actual size of the page you want to print.

For example, if your document size is 11 × 17 inches and you want to reduce it to fit on Letter-size paper, select Ledger 11 × 17 in. If your document size is 5 × 8 inches, but you want to enlarge it to fit on Letter-size paper, select

Index card 5 × 8 in.

3.If the Paper Size setting you selected for your document is within the maximum paper size that can fit on your printer, you need to select proportional printing manually. Go to step 5.
