The printer itself is not aware of what it is printing.

The printer lacks awareness beyond its hardware limitations, what it is sent ,and a limited capability to translate the content it receives into printer language.

In all cases, remember that this printer does not support Borderless printing and does require a larger margin along the lower edge (1/2 inch).

Depending on the device you are using (computer, tablet, phone) and the application or software you are using, it is certainly possible that the options to configure the content are limited.

Relevant to Windows

Windows provides the option to print PDF files in whatever size is supported by the printer, the paper, and the program used.

Install the Printer Software.

Page Sizing & Handling

If printing at 100% or smaller, and the content fits on the paper, Page Sizing & Handling = Size

Then select Actual, Fit / Shrink to fit, percentage (wording varies)

OR

If printing “larger than 100%”, or the content size requires it, Page Sizing & Handling = Poster

Poster Printing - Notes

• If the file is smaller than the paper size and you need it larger, increase the Tile Size
• If the file is already larger than the paper size, it will be divided into Tiled sheets needed to print the file
• Enter an "overlap" and whether you want the "cut marks" included

When ready, click to Print
