Image Size
The Image Size control is one of the most powerful controls in the ScanShop
printing software.
• Original Image Coordinates
Select this to scale your image according to the information about its size
from when it was read from an image file or scanned. Not all image files save
DPI (dots per inch) dimensional information. In such cases, a default of 72
DPI is assumed (unless overridden by the “pdpi=n” command line
parameter).
• Printer’s Native Resolution
Select this option if you want to guarantee that every pixel in the original
source image will be printed as one pixel in the output. This action will occur
regardless of any differences in the source image’s and printer’s DPI, so the
size of the printed image may not be the same as that of the scanned original.
• Scale To Fit
This is useful when you want the image to fit exactly within the full printable
area of the selected printer. One result of this process is that images with
different sizes will be printed with different magnification or reduction ratios
to make them fit.
• Manual
This will be the selection indicated if you manually drag the resize handles
of the image icon on the left side of the Print Controls window, or if you enter
values in the numeric fields. The units for entered values can be selected as
Inches or Millimeters.
Lock X & Y Scale
This check box control (on by default) will keep your manual scaling applied
equally to the height and width of your image when it is selected. If you uncheck
it, then your manual scalings will not necessarily be symmetric. In other words,
your image may look squashed or stretched.
