How do you shrink a 8 1/2X11 paper on the scanner to print as a 4x6

[Rescue4ever]

I am wanting to shrink a scanned eight and a half page to a 4X6. Thanks

Copy, for those printers that support the Resize option supports entering a percentage of the existing object.  The results are predetermined by the supported percentage values.  For example, "25%".

• Scan the image / photo into the computer at actual size (for example 8.5x11 inches / Letter).
• Save the file into your account
• Print the file at 4x6 inches using appropriate photo / image printing software.

NOTES: 

• Borderless printing may - or may not - be an available option on your printer.
• If the shape of the photo does not exactly match the shape of the paper, remember to center the photo to reduce odd shaped margins at one or both sides of the print.
