Print Document On setting

Select the Print Document On option button to format the document for one paper size and then print
the document on a different paper size, with or without scaling the image to fit the new paper size.

The Print Document On control is disabled by either of the following conditions:

The % of Normal Size value is not 100.

The Pages per Sheet value (on the Finishing tab) is not 1.

When Print Document On is selected, the drop-down menu shows the media sizes on which you can
print. The list contains all of the standard media sizes that are supported by the selected media source
and any custom sizes that you have created. When Print Document On is selected, Scale to Fit is
automatically selected.

Scale to Fit option

The Scale to Fit option box specifies whether each formatted document page image is scaled to fit the
target paper size. By default, Scale to Fit is selected when Print Document On is selected. If the setting
is turned off, then the document page images will not be scaled, and are instead centered at full size
on the target paper. If the document size is larger than the target paper size, then the document image
is clipped. If it is smaller, then it is centered within the target paper. The following illustration shows
preview images for a document that is formatted for legal-size paper and where the Print Document
On
check box is selected and the target size is specified as Letter.

When the size for which the document is formatted (that is, the logical size) differs from the target size,
the 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 option

The % of Normal Size option provides a slider bar to use for scaling the percentage setting. The default
setting in the entry box is 100% of normal size. Normal size is defined as the paper size that is selected
within the driver or what the driver receives from the software program (if the software program does
not negotiate the paper size with the driver). The driver scales the page by the appropriate factor and
sends it to the printer.
