Fit to Page Printing

Printer settings for Windows

You can use the Fit to Page printing function when you want to print, for example, an A4 size document on another size paper.

Fit to Page printing automatically resizes your page to the paper size you select. You can also resize your page manually.


Note:

This feature is not available with borderless printing.


Note for Mac OS X users:

This is a standard feature of Mac OS X 10.4. To use this feature, make sure to select a standard paper size (for example, A4) as the Paper Size setting and the Scale to fit paper size setting. Do not select a paper size with a page setup option (for example, Sheet Feeder - Borderless). This feature is not available with Mac OS X 10.3 or earlier.
