Fit to page option, then the printer uses
the page size set in the printer’s front panel as follows:
■ If the page size is set to a discrete size, it uses the specified page size.
■ If the page size is set to
Software , the printer calculates the page width as the
width of the loaded media and the page length as 1.5 times the width of the
loaded media.
■ If the page size is set to Inked area , the printer calculates the page width as the
width of the loaded media and the page length as the height of the inked area
plus the top and bottom margins of the page.
■ If the page size is set to a “Best…” option, the printer calculates the page length
as 1.5 times the page width.
