How to Enlarge image and print

[AMezz14]

HP envy 4500

Sewing pattern from book. Trying to copy and enlarge 400%. I scanned a copy, changed it to 400% but its only printing one page of the enlarged copy, not the entire image which should be on several pages. Its not giving me the option to enlarge through the app either.

Operating System was not included in your description.

The following is relevant for recent versions of Windows.

Not Windows?

Basic instructions apply - translate the details to match your situation.

Essentially:  Scan in at Actual size > save as PDF > print in Poster

Use the printer software and scan the image as a document into the computer at "actual" size / 100%.

Open the PDF document in Adobe Reader DC

Click the Print icon to open the main print menu

Under section Page Sizing & Handling > Select Poster

Set the Tile Scale to 400 and the Overlap to whatever suits your purpose, for example, 0.5 inches

If desired, select Cut marks (check box)

Set the orientation - Portrait for "upright" and Landscape for "wide"

In Properties (box top-middle of main print menu)

Make sure that the current selected shortcut is not set to print duplex

Click OK to save any changes and return to the main print menu

When ready, click Print

Wait!

Not sure what will happen?

Under Pages to Print, select to print just one of the pages.

Click Print and let the single page print out on the paper.

Measure or visually inspect the results

Make any necessary changes and Print
