HP DesignJet T1700 Printer Series - User Guide

● Use application settings (drivers)/Use standard (front panel). Your image will be printed on a page of the
size you have selected, with a narrow margin between the edges of the image and the edges of the paper.
The image should be small enough to t between the margins.
● Oversize. Your image will be printed on a page slightly larger than the size you have selected. If you cut o
the margins, you will be left with a page of the size you selected, with no margins remaining between your
image and the edges of the paper.
● Clip contents by margins. Your image will be printed on a page of the size you have selected, with a narrow
margin between the edges of the image and the edges of the paper. In this case, if the image is the same
size as the page, the printer assumes that the extreme edges of the image are either white or unimportant,
and do not need to be printed. This may be useful when your image already contains a border.
NOTE: Under Mac OS X, the Oversize and Clip contents by margins options are available only when you have
selected a “no margins” paper size.
Print on loaded paper
To print a job on whichever paper is loaded in the printer, choose the following Paper Type option in your printer
driver:
● In the Windows driver dialog: Select the Paper/Quality or Paper tab (depending on the driver version), then
select Use Printer Settings in the Paper Type drop-down list.
● In the Mac OS X Print dialog: Select the Paper/Quality panel, then select Any in the Paper Type drop-down
list.
NOTE: Use Printer Settings (Windows) or Any (Mac OS X) is the default Paper Type selection.
Rescale a print
You can send an image to the printer at a certain size but tell the printer to rescale it to a dierent size (normally
larger). This may be useful:
● If your software does not support large formats
● If your le is too large for the printer's memory—in this case, you can reduce the paper size in your
software and then scale it up again using the front-panel option
You can rescale an image in the following ways:
● In the Windows driver dialog: Go to the Layout Output or Layout tab (depending on the driver version) and
look at the Resizing Options section.
– The Actual size option leaves the size of the image unchanged.
– The Fit to option adjusts the image size to the paper size you have selected. For example, if you have
selected ISO A2 as the paper size and you print an A3-sized image, it is enlarged to t the A2 paper. If
the ISO A4 paper size is selected, the printer reduces a larger image to t the A4 size.
– The % of actual size or Scale % option (depending on the driver version) enlarges the printable area of
the original paper size (the page minus the margins) by the percentage indicated, then adds the
margins to create the output paper size.
