■ Resizing Options: Enlarge or reduce the size of your documents with virtually no loss in print
quality or resolution. On the Effects tab, select the Print Document On check box, and then
select the desired document size, followed by the Scale to Fit check box. You can also select
Center On Page to center your document on the printed page.
Alternatively, you can use the % of Normal Size scroll bar to adjust the document size. You can
zoom from 25 to 400% of the original document size, but page content may get truncated at times.
■ Print on Both Sides: Print on both sides of the paper to create professional looking brochures
and catalogs. See

the Minimize Margins check box, and then reduce the document margins by adjusting the page
setup settings in the application being used.
■ HP Digital Photography: Use a variety of settings to improve the quality of your printed
photographs. The HP Digital Photography features should be used for high-resolution images
(600 dpi or higher) printed on photo-quality paper. On the Paper/Quality tab, click HP Digital
Photography after you have selected a photo media.
■ Booklet Layout: Produce booklets without worrying about pagination. All you need to do is fold
the pages and bind them into a booklet. You can choose to bind the booklet on the left or right
side by selecting left or right edge binding. See
Printing booklets .
■ Pages per Sheet: Arrange up to 16 pages on a single sheet of paper to reduce printing costs.
You can arrange the order of the layout. See

■ Tiling or poster printing: Take a one-page document and enlarge it up to five times (5 x 5) for
documents up to A3+ (13 x 19 inch) size. The enlarged document can be printed on several
sheets and assembled to form a large billboard. See
Printing posters .
■ Mirror Image: Flip a page horizontally. This lets you write on the underside of a transparency
film, leaving the top side available for annotations with marker pens.
For Windows, on the Basics tab select the Mirror Image check box. For Windows 2000,
Windows Server 2003, and Windows XP, Mirror Image is located in the Advanced tab.
