228 Printing and Publishing
Even if the publication isn't set up as a poster or banner, you can use tiling and
scaling settings (see "Tiling" below) to print onto multiple sheets from a
standard size page. Each section or tile is printed on a single sheet of paper, and
the various tiles can then be joined to form the complete page. To simplify
arrangement of the tiles and to allow for printer margins, you can specify an
overlap value.
Scaling
• Under "Special Printing" on the Print dialog's Layout tab, set the "As
in document - % Scale factor" option to specify a custom scaling
percentage. The default is 100% or normal size. To scale your work to
be printed at a larger size, specify a larger value; to scale down,
specify a smaller value. Check Fit Many to have PagePlus fit as many
pages as possible on each sheet—for example, two A5 pages on a
landscape A4 sheet.
• Set "Scale to fit paper size" values to adjust artwork automatically to
fit neatly on the printed page.
• Note that the Fit Many option ignores printer margins, while Scale to
Fit takes them into account. So if you use Fit Many, make sure your
page layout borders don't extend beyond the printable region.
Printing thumbnails
• Under "Special Printing" on the Print dialog's Layout tab, set the
"Print as thumbnails" option to print multiple pages at a reduced size
on each printed sheet, taking printer margins into account. Specify the
number of thumbnails per sheet in the value box.
PagePlus will print each page of the publication at a reduced size, with the
specified number of small pages or "thumbnails" neatly positioned on each
printed sheet.
Multiple pages
• Under "Multiple pages per Sheet" on the Print dialog's Layout tab,
select an option.
