Print Document On setting
UsePrint Document On to format the document for one media size, and then print the document on
a different media size, with or without scaling the page image to fit the new media size.
The Print Document On control is disabled by either of the following conditions:
■ % of Normal Size is not 100.
■ Pages per Sheet (on the Finishing tab) is not 1.
When Print Document On is selected, the drop-down menu shows the media sizes on which you
can print. The list contains all of the standard media sizes that are supported by the selected media
source, and any custom size that you have created. When Print Document On is selected, Scale to
Fit is automatically selected. Clear this check box if you do not want your document reduced or
enlarged to fit on the selected media size.
Scale to Fit
The Scale to Fit option specifies whether each formatted document page image is scaled to fit the
target media size. By default, Scale to Fit is selected when Print Document On is selected. If the
setting is turned off, then the document page images will not be scaled, and are instead centered at
full size on the target media. If the document size is larger than the target media size, then the
document image is clipped. If the document size is smaller, then it is centered within the target
media. The following illustration shows preview images for a document formatted for Legal-size
media with the Print Document On option selected, and the target size specified as Letter.
Figure 3-10 Preview images - Legal on Letter; Scale to Fit off (left) and on (right)
When the size for which the document is formatted (that is, the logical size) differs from the target
size, the document preview image uses a dashed gray line to show the boundaries of the logical
page in relation to the target page size.
% of Normal Size
The % of Normal Size option provides a slider bar for scaling the percentage setting. The default
setting in the entry box is 100 percent of the normal size. The normal size is defined as the media
size that is selected within the driver or what the driver receives from the software program (if the
software program does not negotiate the media size with the driver). The driver scales the page by
the appropriate factor and sends it to the product.
The limits of the range are from 25 percent to 400 percent, and any values outside the range are
adjusted to those limits as soon as the focus is removed from the control (that is, when the Tab key
is pressed or another control is selected).
