Changing the Scale of a Printed Image

With a PostScript file, you can enlarge your printed image from the printer’s front
panel by using the

Scale

option, accessed from the

Device setup

menu, as shown in

the menu graphic, below left. Notice that, in order to use this feature, you have to
switch the front-panel graphics language setting from

Automatic

(the default) to

PostScript

. If you regularly send non-PostScript files to your printer as well as

PostScript files, it is a good idea to switch this back to

Automatic

after using the

Scale

feature.

The

Scale

feature is useful:

If your software does not support large formats.

If your file is too large for the printer’s memory, and therefore you try reducing
the page size in your software and then scaling it up again using this front-panel
option.

change the graphics language from PostScript and back again
