Scaling

If you have set multiple pages sizes in the application, the sizes will be printed to match the size selected in [Output Size]

If you select a page size larger than that supported by the printer for [Page Size], and select [Match Page Size] for [Output Size], A0, A1, and A2 sizes will be reduced to A3, while B1, B2, and B3 sizes will be reduced to B4.

Enables you to set the number of copies to be printed.

If you can set the number of copies in the application, set the number of copies in either the printer driver or the application.

[Page Layout]

Enables you to specify how many pages to print on each sheet of paper.

[1 on 1]

Prints one page of the document on sheet of paper.

Select the order in which the pages are printed.

Reduced Size Layout

The document may not be printed correctly if collating is selected in the application when printing.

For documents that do not combine portrait and landscape pages, the print result does not change regardless of whether you select [Top to Bottom/Left to Right] or [Top to Bottom/Right to Left].

When printing a document that combines portrait and landscape pages with [Page Layout] - [2 on 1], it is recommended that you select [Output Method] - [Edit and Preview] to display the [Canon PageComposer] dialog box and check the print result in [Print Preview] (see Combining Multiple Files).

[Poster [1 x 2]]/[Poster [N x N]] (N = 2, 3, or 4)
