Print scaling

Post by Henker »

Hello,
Can someone tell me how to make this scaling factor stay on 100%? I can change for a document, but it will not persist, and will default back to 76%. See here:

Thank you!

Hello, Henker

These settings are loaded from the system default for the printer (The default for this should already be 100%, so either you or your system admin has already changed this value in the past).

To make lasing changes, open the windows "printers and scanners" menu. Then locate the lite printer, and open its "preferences/properties" window. The same UI as during a print job will appear, but you can change these settings and click "apply" to save them as a system wide default.

(Note that many applications will only load once on startup - then simply revert back to that first load state. As such, you may need to restart the PC before this change is reflected in all applications.)

Kind regards,

Thank you! This is the answer. I was trying to do it within the PDFX print menu, not as a printer setting. Much aggravation is saved.
