How may I assure b/w copy prints at the same-size as my original artwork?

For example, the dimensions of my b/w original artwork are 5 x 8 inches. However, the printed (HP Deskjet 6520)
copy measures appx. 5 1/8 x 8 1/8 inches! I'm unsure why this is happening. What adjustments may I make, and
where may I make them so that my 5 x 8" original art will be 5 x 8" on the printed copy?
Many thanks for your suggestions/directions.
Curious,
George

I have found laser printers, such as the one you are printing on, do distort the print out a small amount usually about .016" or less. Being the nature of toner on paper and a fuser heating both. But for a 5" X 8" image this seems a bit much (as you report .125"). If your Options are set to Do Not Scale and Media Defined By Driver, in the print dialog it should be printing to scale, 100%. Unless you are Ignoring Art Board and using Marks and Bleed to add Trim Marks. This will take the extremities of the artwork and add trim marks to it, which may be the reason you're .125" over.
What is your Bleed set to? Is your document set to Use Document Bleed Settings?
If you have Scale to Page selected with a 8" image, your piece will be enlarged to fit to the page printed to. And if you have an 8" wide (although you put 5" first so I should assume this is the width) and have scale to page selected your image should grow to fill the width of 8.5" sheet, less the printers unprintable margin.

How do I make selective screenshot images in cells the same size?

I am putting together a spreadsheet to list the purchasing options for our company from some of the Mac mini models but have a problem with image sizes in spreadsheet cells.
First I took screenshots of each of the price and spec panels of the self-configured options I was interested in recommending using CmdCtrl+Shift4 to save the screenshot to the clipboard. Next, I highlighted the cell into which the image was destined to go and clicked Cmd+V and the image appeared in the cell (as an image fill for background colour). I repeated this process for six different Mac minis, being careful to start and finish the crosshairs in exactly the same place for each option. Each of these images had been lifted from a separate Tab in Safari 4.0.5 and appeared to be identically sized.
The problem is, when placed in the spreadsheet cell grid, each image was either higher or lower than the one next to it, yet all cells were the exact same size. Some images appeared to be centred in the cell, others appeared to be top aligned.
Can anyone help me to understand why this happens, and to give a suggestion on how to avoid it in the future?
TIA

OK, my mistake! The images were not the same size because the specs were different for each one, meaning that the info boxes were of different heights. When I copied them again, using the coordinates to ensure the screenshots were exactly the same size this time (rather than adding on a fixed width to the outside of the boxes) the problem was solved.
Sometimes it's the user not the tools that has the problem!
Having said that, it would be useful if the images were not background fills, but images that you could highlight because that would show quite quickly the size of each one - and allow you to add a background colour to a column to indicate a category type.
Thanks for your help!

How to keep vertically arranged fields to print on the same page?

Hello,
my report contains fields that are vertically arranged. I want the report to print all the fields on the same page and not if the page is too small at the end that the half of the fields are printed on one page and the rest on the next page. But there should be more than one data sets on one page (it is no solution to generally make a page break before the fields - it only concerns the end of a page).
Is there a printing mechanism to anchor fields together?
Thanks in advance for your help.
kind regards
Monika Anna

1. Are these vertically arranged fields within the same group? If so, you can try right click on the Group section, Select Change Group, and then Go to Option Tab and select Change Group together.
2. Otherwise, if you want to fit certain amount of rows into one page, then you can write your own running total and Set New Page when that running total reach eg: 20 rows.

How to make all pages in a PDF appear the same size?

Hi, I am about to create many PDFs that show the bookmark pane and the document pane, with the document pane at 75%.
If I create these PDFs to open as "single page continuous" and set the view at 75%, all scrolling is beautiful!
But, if someone goes to a page by clicking a bookmark, the page views jump to a much larger size.
How can I constrain the page view size to what I want?
Karen

You might also change the PDF to be full width or full page instead of a percent. If you set this in the document properties, then it should held as you move around. It may be that you are changing a particular page and then move around, meaning the new page goes back to the default set.

Acrobat 9 Pro - How do I get inserted scanned pages to display the same size as the original file?

When I insert scanned pages into Acrobat 9 Pro document, the scanned pages display much larger than the original file. They are all 8.5 x 11, but the inserted pages look HUGE compared to the original pages. HELP!

Check the resolution of your scanned files compared to the PDF. A 300dpi file placed into a 72dpi will appear larger.

How do you get word count to print at the end of a document in Pages?

How do you get word count to print at the end of a document in Pages?

Pages v5 does not provide a user assignable word count variable. With some AppleScript, and a paste operation from the clipboard, you can have locale punctuated word count in this format: 7,803 — anywhere in your document. The following AppleScript works with Pages '09 v4.3 through Pages v5.5.2 on Yosemite.
I would suggest that you copy paste the following AppleScript into your [Apple] Script Editor and save it (suggestion) wordcnt.applescript. Then, follow this with an option+Save As… and this time set the File format to Script Bundle, or Application with hidden extension — saved to your Desktop. Provided you have a Pages document open, you are then a double-click from the ability to paste your current word count into Pages.
Note: If you have Pages word count display enabled, it will automatically count your pasted value as another word which initially may deceive on true word count at the time the script was run.
AppleScript
--- copy below this line ---
property locale : "en_US.UTF-8" -- In Terminal, use the locale command to see yours
if not ApplicationIsRunning("Pages") then
     display dialog "Pages must be running to use this utility."
     return quit
end if
tell application "Pages"
    tell body text of front document
        set wordCnt to count words
        -- Don't want punctuated numbers? Remove the single quote from printf format
        set the clipboard to (do shell script "export LC_ALL=" & locale & "; printf \"%'d\" " & wordCnt)
    end tell
end tell
on ApplicationIsRunning(appName)
     tell application "System Events" to set appNameIsRunning to exists (processes where name is appName)
     return appNameIsRunning
end ApplicationIsRunning

How to set two Star's TSP100 receipt printer on the same mac ?

Hello
For my restaurant I use a FileMaker homemade software that can use two ticket printers of the same type (Star's TSP100 receipt printer).
One is set as "Kitchen" in the underground kitchen and the other as "Desk" in the main floor.
Software must prints orders for kitchen on the correct printer and other receipts on the other printer. It uses Applescripts command to switch printer before printing.
Sometimes the two printers are switched and reports are printed on the bad printers.
Software is working correctly, orders for kitchen are always printed on the same printer and other receipts are also printed on the other printer. When printers switch, the kitchen receive receipts for desk and orders for kitchen are printed on the desk printer.
How can I fix the two printers to be sure that every orders and receipt are printed on the correct printer.
Thanks for your help

Let me first say I have never tried to do that...
I believe this is completely about the driver. 1 driver can only correctly identify one printer in print & scan prefs. I think you need separate drivers and separate ways to identify each printer. Like - another copy of the driver with different named file(s); and a printer utility that allows you to change printer name.
For Epsons the USB setup includes the Serial number - which allows the driver to differentiate. Does your driver do that? Maybe there is an alternate driver you can use for one of the printers? Check out the free Gutenprint driver. Search for gutenprint mac.

HT5097 How can I make more than one backup at the same time

I use time machine to backup my mac. I want to also make an additional backup on a different hard drive in case the first drive fails. How do I do that?

I suggest you do not use Time Machine for the second backup. Instead, I suggest cloning your drive to a different backup drive using different backup software.
Your secon drive should be the same size as your computer's drive. Start by using Disk Utility's Restore option to clone your computer's drive to the new backup drive:
Clone Lion/Mountain Lion using Restore Option of Disk Utility
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
     1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu then press the Continue
         button.
     2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
     3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
     4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it
         to the Destination entry field.
     5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
         the Source entry field.
     6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
After this initial clone you can use other backup software suggested below to make incremental updates to the backup. These incremental updates can be done on a regular schedule.
Suggested Backup Software
1. Carbon Copy Cloner
2. Get Backup
3. Deja Vu
4. SuperDuper!
5. Synk Pro
6. Tri-Backup
Others may be found at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore. Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files.
The two backups need not be done on the same schedule. Time Machine backsup hourly. The other backup could be done on a daily or even weekly schedule.

How can two pictures of the same size still appear to be a different size? (Photoshop CS6 problem)

I called the big webdesign file "(X)" and the image I wanted to paste in it "(Y)",
so that you won't be confused when you read it.
What Happened
For the design of a webpage, I made a photoshop-file(X) with a lot of squares(X). These squares(X) had the size 9,42×9,42 centimeters.
I measured the squares(X) carefully and also made sure the size was in centimeters, so I am sure that the size was 9,42×9,42 cm.
My plan was to fill the squares(X) with pictures(Y). I had a map on my computer with a lot of square-sized JPG-images(Y) in it. All I had
to do was open the pictures(Y) in photoshop, change the size into 9,42×9,42 centimeters and copy+paste them into the squares(X)
of the webdesign. I did this before and it worked perfectly.
But then, I opened one of the images(Y) and when I wanted to resize it, the resize-tool said it was only 3,25×3,25 centimeters big.
I thought it was strange, so I copied+pasted it into the design-file(X) with all the squares(X) that needed to be filled. Allthough photoshop
had told me that the squares(X) in the file were 9,42×9,42 centimeters big and the image(Y) I resized was 3,25×3,25, the "small" image(Y)
turned out to be bigger then the squares(X). And when I resized the "small" image(Y) into 9,42×9,42 centimeters, it was even bigger
than it was before. How can this be, and how can I still make the images(X&Y) the same size?
What I already tried
- I made the file of the webdesign(X) with all the squares(X) into one layer, copied the file(X) and opened a new file(X) with the same
measurements of the old file(X). I also changed the resolution of the file(X) into pixels/centimeters instead of pixels/inches.
Then I pasted the image(X) of the old file into the new file. I didn't work; the image(X) that I pasted in the new file was bigger and
when I pasted the other picture(Y) in this image, the same problem was still there.
- I also opened the picture(Y) in photoshop, made a screenshot of it and then pasted the screenshot into paint. With paint I cropped
it again and saved it as a JPEG-file. After that, I opened the image (Y) in photoshop again. It now had the size of 11,27×11,27 centimeters.
Then I resized the image(Y) into 9,42×9,42 cm, but it still wasn't as big as the squares(X).
Could you help me please?
I really don't understand why this problem is happening and I can't think of a solution because I am still quite unexperienced with photoshop
and I also couldn't find the answer on the internet. I assume the solution is very simple, but I haven't found it yet allthough I have to finish this
project soon and I also have to use the image(Y). So any help would be very appreciated.
Thanks,
Simone

You need to understand the basic of a digital image.
Image is recorded as pixels and image is a rectangle so many pixels wide and so many pixel high. Pixels do not have a fixed size. The images resolution setting defines the image current pixel size.
So for example if you have and image that is 300 pixel wide and 200 pixels high and set its dip resolution to 100DPI the image size is 3" wide and 2" high. Set its dip setting tp 300DPI the image size becomes 1" wide by 2/3" high. Both the 3" x 2" and the 1"x2/3" images have the same 60000 RGB Colored Pixels.
Web pages are sized to to be so many pixel wide and so many pixel high. Often the height is not enforced scrolling is used when viewing.
However image for web pages often must not exceed so many pixel wide and high for displays have a fixed resolution and a fixed number of Pixels. You want images to fit on users displays. Users use different displays some have high resolution displays and other have low resolution displays with far fewer pixels then high resolution displays.
Web Image are normally image that have been interpolated down in number of pixels a resampled large image so that web image will fit on a low resolution display with limited number of pixels. The image size the user see depend on the display they are currently using. A low resolution display's image will be much larger then the same image displayed on a nexus 10 with a 300dip display. Cheep low cost Desktop LCD have a 84DIP resolution, large high cost desktop displays are not be much higher in resolution somewhere near 108DPI. Tablets, Laptop and Phones can have much higher resolution like the nexus 10 300DPI IPS display

Hi,
PSC 1315 no longer supported for scanning since Mac OS X v10.5 or while using any newer OS, there is no scan software provided by either HP or Apple (Image Capture)
You may find this information stated below for Leopard, the same apply for any newer OS version:

Image capture will not recognize your device as well, only print is supported as you may find listed for teh PSC 1310 Series below:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669#HP
Although there is no official scanning support for your device you may still try the 3rd party VueScan software which list your scanner as supported and compatible with Mountain Lion:
