The printer is not aware of what it is printing - this includes the size of the content.

 

Change the size of the object being printed.

 

If no other options, adjust the size of the viewed webpage before printing

Ctrl +  (both Control and Plus keys together)  increases the scale / page larger

Ctrl -  (both Control and minus / dash keys together) decreases the scale / page smaller

 

============================================

Browser Printing

 

For example,

If printing from a browser,

After having clicked Print

Adjust the Scale in the Print Settings to 100%, Fit, or as available

 

Example - Firefox - Print Web Page - Print

Scroll down

Select "Fit to page width" or "Scale" and enter percentage of 100%

 

Optional

Scroll down and open Additional Options

Print using the system dialog

 

Firefox_Print_Web_Page_7Firefox_Print_Web_Page_7

 

============================================

Document Printing - PDF

Adobe Reader supports printing your PDF document at any size you want it done on one or more sheets of paper.

 

General Example - Windows - Adobe Reader - PDF Print

PDF_Reader_Main_Menu_Border_7PDF_Reader_Main_Menu_Border_7

 

Example - Adobe Reader - Windows - Poster Print

PDF_Document_Poster_Compare_Tile_3PDF_Document_Poster_Compare_Tile_3
