Reducing to A4/Letter Automatically

Follow the procedure below to print a document larger than A4/Letter onto A4/Letter size paper by reducing it. For example, if a document is A3/Legal size, the document is reduced to A4/Letter automatically and printed.

1Open the file you want to print from the application, and then open the printer properties dialog box.

2Click the [Page Settings] tab.

3Check that the document orientation and size are the same as those selected in the application.

Note

  • Usually the settings made in the application are reflected here; however, it depends on the application used. If they are not reflected, make the correct settings.

In the [Printout paper size:] list, [Reduce to fit A4]/[Reduce to fit Letter] appears.

Note

  • If [Reduce to fit A4]/[Reduce to fit Letter] does not appear, select the [Reduce automatically to fit A4]/[Reduce automatically to fit Letter] check box in the [Printer Configuration] dialog box.

4Click [OK].

5Make the necessary settings, and then click [OK].

The printer properties dialog box closes.

6Make print settings, and then click [OK].

Note

  • When you do not want to reduce images from documents larger than A4/Letter, clear the [Reduce automatically to fit A4]/[Reduce automatically to fit Letter] check box in the [Printer Configuration] dialog box. For example, this is done when you want to print document images at full size even if they run off the paper.
