Using the Reduce/Enlarge Button
The Reduce/Enlarge button lets you quickly reduce or enlarge originals to the
size you want. You can also select other special settings, called digital
copying features, using this button. For best results, make sure you have
placed your original in the correct position on the glass before using these
settings.
To choose a setting, do the following:
1 Press Reduce/Enlarge until the setting you want appears on the display.
2 Press Select/Resume to select the new Reduce/Enlarge setting.
NOTE There is a small margin around the edge of the paper that the HP PSC 500 cannot
copy onto. For more information, see “Copy Margins” in Chapter 6 of the HP PSC 500
Customer Care Guide. Also, see descriptions for Entire 91% and Auto Fit below.
The following features are available with Reduce/Enlarge:
◆ Normal 100% makes a copy that is the same size as your original.
◆ Entire 91% reduces your copy slightly to ensure that the whole image,
out to all the edges, is copied.
◆ Auto Fit prescans the original to determine where its edges are, and then
reduces or enlarges the original to fit on the paper you are using. Use this
feature to automatically enlarge a photo to the size of a page.
When enlarging, Auto Fit increases the size of the copy to the largest size
that will fit on the page without distorting the image and centers the
image on the page.
◆ Custom 100% (– +) lets you specify an exact reduction or enlargement
percentage between 25% and 400%.
TIP Some Reduce/Enlarge features let you specify the exact percentage. These appear
with the minus/plus (– +) signs. Press the minus (–) or plus (+) button once to change
the size by one percent. Hold down the minus (–) or plus (+) button to change the size
in five percent increments.
◆ Max 400% (– +) enlarges the original to the highest enlargement
percentage.
◆ Min 25% (– +) reduces the original to the lowest reduction percentage.
◆ Poster 400% (– +) determines how to divide up the original image and
enlarge each part to end up with an image that is up to 400% larger than
your original. Poster centers the image on the sheets. A poster may be
created using up to 25 sheets of paper (five sheets wide and five sheets
long).
◆ 2 on 1 allows you to copy two pages in succession which the
HP PSC 500 then reduces and prints on one page. You will be prompted
for the second page with a message on the front-panel display. The
message remains until you press either Select/Resume or Cancel.
