  3. Using Page Size, select the page size that is set with your application.

  4. Set the scaling rate by using one of the following methods:

    • Select a Printer Paper Size

      When the printer paper size is smaller than the Page Size, the page image will be reduced. When the printer paper size is larger than the Page Size, the page image will be enlarged.

      The current settings are displayed in the settings preview on the left side of the printer driver.

  5. Click OK.
    When you print, the document will be printed with the specified scale.

 When the application software which you used to create the original has the scaled printing function, configure the settings on your application software. You do not need to configure the same setting in the printer driver.

 Selecting Scaled changes the printable area of the document.
