Print is too small

Everything I print on my HP 2540 out tiny in the upper left corner of the page. Everything. Even the stuff that fills one page A4 on the screen comes out like that.

Help!

Hi @moomiedoo,

I see that you are unable to print the text of regular size using your Deskjet 2540.

What browser or program are you printing from? This occurs when you print all programs, or just one?

If you use Internet Explorer, you can use this document; The text is small when printing from Internet Explorer. However, if you use AOL, you can by following these instructions from this post, "How to make the text bigger".

As you can see change the size of the text will depend on the program you are using.

In Firefox, before opening the print dialog box, select Preview before print on the file Menu. In print preview, chose 100% instead of the scale to the Fit, or select the percentage of the appropriate size you prefer.

It should look like this;  Adapt to a value of 100% and there are 5 pages as a result of the size of the text.

Compared to; Scale to 'Fit to page', in this case there is only 3 pages that the police is smaller so more fits on a page.

As you can see, the font size is larger when you choose 100% instead of scaling to fit page.

Please use the thumbs up below if you are satisfied with my efforts if the problem persists, I will gladly do my utmost to help you!

I look forward to hearing from you and to work towards a solution!

    Welcome to the Community Forum of HP.

    The provision allowing to adjust font sizes - in most cases, at least - is done at the application level.

    So adjust the display and scale printing, before you send the print to the printer.

    Most applications call this preset Print print preview function: print preview is available in the browsers, editors, and viewers like Adobe Reader documents.

    I'm not at all familiar with the Sumatra PDF Reader - maybe this PDF Reader does not preview before printing?

    Perhaps, if it is available, print preview does not offer the necessary adjustments to allow printing to adjust the scale or the size of the page as appropriate.

    I can offer the following: it may or may not be useful, although it may point you in a direction that helps you to find a solution to your dliemma with your player of Sumatra.

    Manage the print with preview output before printing

    Please, take a look at the section on PDF files.

    At the very least, you can consider the following strategy:

    • Enlarge an area of a page to the screen you need to print
    • Create a Snip of this region
    • Save the capture as an Image
    • Print only necessary as big Snip

    Auburn2932,

    Welcome to the HP Forum.

    In most cases, the print size - especially on the web - is controlled with preview before printing.  Print preview is a feature of most browsers and web editors.

    Please take a look at the next Dragon for further information Document:

  • Too small print in Photoshop CS4 with HP 8500 printer all in one

    I am running Windows XP with CS4 and the latest patches and drivers.  When I print a picture on my HP 8500 all in one printer, the print is too small.  Instead of an image to 4 x 6 centered in the page, I have a 1 x 1-1/4 inch small characters of the image in the upper left corner.

    I have re-installed CS3 and it works perfectly, just like any other print, such as word options, etc.  But Photoshop CS4, I find no way to print to this printer without the image reduced in size.  If I print to a different printer during the same session, the image is fine.  Therefore, a single PS CS4 vs HP 8500 problem I guess.

    I see this post in other forms and no help yet.  Someone at - it of it on their radar.  I really like this printer, but it's pretty boring.

    Furthermore, if I print to PDF from PS CS4, the image of the pdf file is fine.  It's an another end around for printing also. HMMMM.

    I contacted HP and they put the issue squarely on Adobe.  No partnership.

    Thank you

  • Installed Windows updates, very well. But the small text size button '100% ' in the bottom right of the status bar disappeared. Text is too small. Change on 'View' does nothing but change the size of the icons.

    No matter where I go - to Internet Explorer new; to my address e-mail. to Web sites - print is too small and I want my little back button so that I can do text 125% or 150%. I am 67 and it is simply too fine print. When the updates of Windows 7 - Home Edition installed automatically, he took my button for print size and I want to. By clicking on 'medium' or 'big' on the screen do absolutely nothing.  Thanks for any help.

    N ° EC was not helpful.  Finally, I did a 'system restore' and got back my '%' button and all my favorites on my browser.  (I hadn't lost my favorites but had to go through the 'Owner' or 'Computer' to access.

  • Microsoft Paint - Image is normal on screen but prints too small?

    Microsoft Paint - Image is normal on screen but prints too small?

    When I'm in the paint all my settings are the same that I use always and my image appears normal size on the screen but when I go to print I put it on the scale to fit on page 1 x 1 (so it's all about a piece of paper), but then I have print preview and the image is just a 1-inch picture in the upper left corner. I had done several times in the past and never had a problem. Why does the image offset? Also when I remove the scale down to 1 x 1 page it can tile the image on 4 pages. So if the image is the great whys it shrinks it do much when I as a single piece of paper? Help!

    Go to the options of paint by clicking on the top left of the menu bar icon (the one to the left of the 'Home' that looks like a sheet of paper lined w / an arrow next to it).  Choose 'Properties' from the menu drop down.  Keys to your measurements of paper (ie. 8.5 x 11 "or 8.5" x 14) depending on the direction you have chosen - portrait or landscape (under print options: Page layout) which should solve your printing problem.  Unfortunately, the program seems to use some default preset every time that you open the Paint program.  That's how I came across your question;  I'm trying to find how to change the default setting. During this time, I guess that we just have to continue to change it before printing.
