Doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting different outcomes has apparently been characterized as lunacy by Albert Einstein. When you ignore Prof. Einstein’s advice, unexpectedly huge or little output from your workplace printer loses time, ink or toner, paper, and your patience. Simply reprinting your file can’t cure the problem, but investigating your setup can help you achieve a diagnosis.
–Resolution versus Dimension
The proportions of photos printed from a scanner or digital camera depend on the resolution at which you view them. A square image that measures 1-inch at 300 pixels per inch (ppi) measures 4.17-inches at 72 ppi � because the same number of pixels spreads across a wider area. With the use of image editing software, you can resize an image by altering its resolution without altering its pixel measurements. This process does not create pixelation because it does not increase the amount of pixels in the source file. Check the resolution that has been applied to your image if it prints at unexpectedly large dimensions.
–Saved Printer Setup
When you save your work in many programmes, the printer settings you used for the document are also usually saved. Your file may have been set up for output on a different page size than you typically use, scaled to print smaller or larger than actual size, or activated features that create thumbnail-sized versions of multiple pages on each sheet of paper, depending on how you prepared your file the last time you printed it. To maintain a more common setup with it, check your print settings, make necessary adjustments, and then re-save the file.
–Paper Trays
If your networked printer includes more than one paper tray or drawer — manual-feed or automatic — you target a specific tray when you print, regardless of the size of paper in it. When that tray empties, the printer automatically either switches to another tray or displays an error message. Once you load the correct paper size, the problem will disappear. To ensure that everyone in the office knows which paper belongs where, label the printer.
-Document versus Selection Dimensions
Area options can affect which portion of your file prints when printing an office plan or a diagram from a CAD application to a plotter. The same factors can be taken into account when using spreadsheet programmes and image editing tools. When you change, clear, or ignore the selection, your printed results will show the entire file, not just a portion of it, as opposed to the selection’s small area. If an oversized file prevents you from printing the entire document to the maximum size that a sheet-fed printer can handle, you can tile your output to multiple sheets, reduce it to fit, or have it printed at a business that uses oversized equipment.
