image appears in the upper-right corner of these Document Defaults or Printing Preferences driver tabs (the Paper/
Quality,Finishing, Effects, and Color tabs). For more information about the document preview image, see the "Paper/
Quality tab features" section of this document.

Print Document On setting
Select the Print Document On check box to format the document for one paper size and then print the document on a
different paper size, with or without scaling the image to fit the new paper size.
The Print Document On control is disabled by either of the following conditions:
•
The % of Normal Size value is not 100.
•
ThePages per Sheet value (on the Finishing tab) is not 1.
When Print Document On is selected, the drop-down menu shows the media sizes on which you can print. The list
contains all of the the standard media sizes that are supported by the selected media source and any custom sizes
that you have created (if the currently selected media source is manual, auto, or any tray). When Print Document On
is selected, Scale to Fit is automatically selected.
Actual Size setting
Scale to Fit option
The Scale to Fit options box specifies whether each formatted document page image is scaled to fit the target paper
size. By default, Scale to Fit is selected when Print Document On is selected. If the setting is turned off, then the
document page images will not be scaled, and are instead centered at full size on the target paper. If the document
size is larger than the target paper size, then the document image is clipped. If it is smaller, then it is centered within
the target paper. The following illustration shows preview images for a document formatted for legal-size paper with
the Print Document On check box selected, and the target size specified as Letter.
