How your project is printed is determined by the Page Options settings on the Print dialog. The same options also appear on the Application Preferences – Printing Defaults tab.
Page Options
The page scaling printing option determines how each page in the project is scaled to the paper when printed. There are two scaling options:
Fit to Paper |
Enlarges or reduces the page to fit the size of the currently selected paper. |
Actual Size |
Makes no attempt to scale the page; any part of the page that does not fit in the printable area of the currently selected printer is cropped. |
Page Auto-rotation
The Auto-rotate pages to fit printer page option adjusts the pages orientation to maximize the amount of page printed. If this option is on, the page will be rotated if rotating the page allows more of the page to fit in the printable area of the currently selected paper.
Page Centering
The Center Page if smaller than printer page option centers the contents of the page if the page is smaller than the printable area of the currently selected paper. This will not affect pages that are larger than the printable area.
Page Shrinking
The Shrink page if larger than the printer page option shrinks the contents of the page to fit if the page is larger than the printable area of the currently selected paper. This gives the same result as Fit to Paper for larger pages. This does not affect pages that are smaller than the printable area and only applies when the page scaling is set to print Actual Size.
