How you fix this depends on which browser or program you are using to read / print the email content.
For example, if you use a browser to open your email and print from that resource, the settings used to control the print job are adjusted within the browser setup.
To adjust the full webpage view
PC:
Ctrl + (Control key and Plus key at the same time > page contents larger)
Ctrl - (Control key and Dash key together > page contents smaller)
Ctrl 0 (Control key and 0 (zero) > reset page to Default)
Mac OS
** Cmd + larger
Cmd - smaller
Firefox
Firefox > File > [Print] > Print Preview >
Scale: Select Percentage OR Shrink to Fit
Page Setup > tab Format & Options (wording varies)
- Shrink to fit page Width
Setting is useful to control text / images that might otherwise extend beyond the sides.
NOTE: Ensure Scale is NOT set to zero
Edge (Windows 10)
Open Edge browser > open your URL / webpage > Settings (three dots, upper right) > Print > More Settings
Chrome
Chrome > Settings > Print > More Settings
- If margins are left at Default, the print may start 2 inches from the top of the paper >> check!
- If needful, adjust your margins and / or settings to Fit-to-Width
- Switch on / off printing of Headers and Footers
- Depending on your version of Chrome / OS, access Chrome Settings
