printer is printing smaller than usual

[JohnnyChill1955]

My printer is printing smaller than usual.  Nowhere can I print in full size. What do I do to fix this?

Font sizes, Page Size, and other preferences are controlled in the Application / program you use to submit the job to the printer.

Examples:

Firefox > File > [Print] > Print Preview >>

Page Setup > tab Format & Options (wording varies)

Scale: > Percentage options OR Shrink to Fit

OR

Page Set Up…   > tab Format & Options

• Contributed by roweccs:

Ensure Scale is NOT set to zero

Note   Shrink to fit page Width – this setting might be useful to control text / images that might otherwise extend beyond the side edge of the print.

Page Set Up >  tab Margins & Header / Footer

Internet Explorer > File > Print Preview >

Shrink to Fit > Fit the page contents to paper

OR

Internet Explorer > File > Page Setup >

UNCHECK Enable Shrink to Fit >>   Set page contents at 100%

Internet Explorer > File > Print Preview >

Settings wheel    >>

In Page Setup: Adjust Margins

and/or adjust Paper Options

Edge browser > open your URL / webpage > Settings (three dots, upper right) > Print > More Settings
