Effects tab features
The Effects tab is used to create unique paper effects such as scaling and watermarks.

ZoomSmart
The ZoomSmart group box includes features that scale the image on the page, either by a
numeric percentage or by specifying a scale change to a different paper size. ZoomSmart
handles scale transformations.
Print Document On: lets you format the document for one paper size, but prints the document
on a different paper size with or without scaling the page image to fit the new paper size.
The Print Document On: control is disabled by any of the following:
• Percent of Normal Size is not 100.
• Pages per Sheet is not 1.
• Booklet Printing is on.
When Print Document On: is selected, the drop-down menu specifies the media size on which
to print. The list contains all standard media sizes supported by the selected media source and
any custom sizes that you have created (if the currently selected media source is manual, auto,
or any tray). When Print Document On: is selected, Scale to Fit is automatically selected.
The Scale to Fit option 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, then the document page images will not be scaled, and are instead
centered at full size on the target paper. If the document size is larger than the target paper size,
then the document image is clipped. If it is smaller, then it is centered within the target paper. The
following illustration shows preview images for a document formatted for Legal paper with the
Print Document On: option selected, and the target size specified as Letter.
