HP 2420 - Manual (Page 125)

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 printer.
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).
Any change to the scale also changes the document preview image, which increases or decreases
from the upper-left corner of the preview.
The slider bar controls the scale directly. The value in the edit box changes as the scroll bar indicator
is dragged, and the document preview image is updated to the new image scale. Each click on the
scroll bar arrows increases or decreases the scale by one percent. Each click on the slider bar
affects the scale by 10 percent.
You cannot achieve an exact value by dragging the scroll bar indicator at the default Windows
resolution; use the scroll bar indicator to approximate the value that you want, and then use the scroll
bar arrows to refine the value. Or, type the value into the entry box.
The following settings disable % of Normal Size:
■ Print Document On (on the Effects tab) is selected.
■ Pages per Sheet (on the Finishing tab) is not 1.

Use the Watermarks feature to select a watermark, create your own custom watermarks (text only),
or edit an existing watermark.
