# Reducing and Enlarging by a Specified Ratio (Scale, Directional magnification)

Follow the procedure below to print with a reduction or enlargement ratio in the range of 20-300% adjustable in 1% increments. Use this to reduce the size of the print image slightly to insert a margin, for example.

Two methods are available: scale and directional magnification. Scale is used to specify the same ratio in both horizontal and vertical directions while directional magnification is used to specify a different ratio for each direction.

1. Open the file you want to print from the application, and then open the printer properties dialog box.

2. Click the [Page Settings] tab.

3. Select the [Reduce/Enlarge] check box, and then click [Scale] or [Directional magnification...] in the list.

4. If [Scale] is selected, enter a ratio in the [Scaling(%):] box.

   - Enter a number between 20 and 300.

   - In the [Printout paper size:] list, you can change the paper size.

5. If [Directional magnification...] is selected, enter ratios in the [Vertical:] and [Horizontal:] boxes, and then click [OK].

6. Select the [Centering] check box to center an image.

   - If [Scale] or [Directional magnification...] is selected, a wide margin may be created on the right or bottom of the paper. If this happens, select the [Centering] check box to center an image and create margins of the same width.

   - If the [Centering] check box is not selected, the reduced or enlarged image is positioned in the upper left of the paper.

7. Make the necessary settings, and then click [OK].

   The printer properties dialog box closes.

8. Make print settings, and then click [OK].
