The size of the print, including the relevant size of the font, is controlled in the application used to submit the job to the printer.

 

This means you adjust the Scale (percentage of 100%), Page Setup, Print Preview, Properties, and / or the viewed screen content (in the browser) before you click the "submit" button to print the document / image / mixed-content.

 

For example - Printing from your Browser

 

Adjust a full webpage view before printing the webpage / document:

 

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)

 

Print Preview – Firefox

 

Right-Click a clear space along the top ribbon in Firefox > CHECK Menu Bar

 

Firefox > File > [Print] > Print Preview >

Scale: Select Percentage OR Shrink to Fit

Page Setup > tab Format & Options (wording varies)

 

 

Print Preview – Edge Browser (Windows 10)

 

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

 

 

Chrome - Print Preview settings

 

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
  • Page Range is controlled in "Print using system dialog..."
