Fit is also automatically selected. Clear the Scale to Fit check box if you do not want the document
reduced or enlarged to fit on the selected paper.
Scale to Fit option
The Scale to Fit option box specifies whether each formatted document page image is scaled to fit the
target paper size. By default, Scale to Fit is selected when Print Document On is selected. If the setting
is turned off, the document page images are not scaled but are instead centered at full size on the target
paper. If the document size is larger than the target paper size, the document image is clipped. If it is
smaller, it is centered within the target paper. The following illustration shows preview images for a
document that is formatted for legal-size paper and for which the Print Document On check box is
selected and the target size is specified as Letter.

When the size for which the document is formatted (that is, the logical size) differs from the target size,
the preview image uses a dashed gray line to indicate the boundaries of the logical page in relation to
the target page size.
% of actual size option
The % of actual size option provides a slider bar to use for scaling the percentage setting. The default
setting in the entry box is 100% of normal size. Normal size is defined as the paper size that is selected
within the printer-driver or what the printer-driver receives from the software program (if the software
program does not negotiate the paper size with the printer-driver). The printer-driver scales the page by
the appropriate factor, and then sends it to the printer.
The limits of the range are from 25 to 400%. Any values that are outside the range are adjusted to those
limits as soon as the focus is removed from the control (that is, when the Tab key is pressed, or when
another control is selected).
Any change to the scale also changes the page preview, which increases or decreases from the upper-
left corner of the preview.
