#3002 Horizontal Scale Factor
Enables horizontal scaling of the complete page for all input bins. Use this param-
eter to reduce or enlarge the size of the printed data on the paper. The scaling is
made relative the origin of the paper in the upper left corner.
Notes: 1. This parameter is valid in all modes, including local function listings, such as
the parameter list and IBM hex dump.
2. The horizontal scaling is always perpendicular to the paper feed direction,
regardless of the print orientation.
3. Using this parameter to enlarge or compress the size of the printout may
result in interference patterns in images, due to the scaling.
4. A scale factor below 90% disables Load Font Smoothing.
5. The global horizontal scaling may be overridden for individual input bins by
specifying a local horizontal scale factor for one or more bins.
Hints: 1. Use a small compression, 98% for example, to get print data out of any
unprintable area at the right or left paper edges. Compensate for any needed
margin increase with the Bind Left Origin parameter.
2. If there is a requirement for 240 dpi direct printing for proof reading, 80%
scaling on a 300 dpi printer will provide a 1:1 dot-by-dot image.
