9 Using Your Printer with a Scanner

Placing and scaling images

Copying at 100% scale

When you copy originals at 100% scale, the copy image is the same size as the original. Note however, that printers are typically unable to print to the extreme edges of the print media; the area in which a printer can print is called its “printable area.” When you make a copy at 100% scale, if any part of the original image extends beyond the printer’s printable area it is cropped. You can see this effect by performing the following experiment:

1.Original print Find an original that has information extending to its edges.

2.Original on the scanner’s glass Place the original face-down on the glass in your scanner. Lower the document cover. At the printer’s front panel, press Copy. Refer to “Making copies” on page 150 for instructions on using the printer’s front panel to make copies.

3.Copy print Note that the image is not printed at the copy’s edges.

The next example, “Copying to fit full-bleed images,” shows how you can work around this problem.
