Is There a Fit-to-Page Option in Scan?

When I scanned a government form that is on an 8.5" x 11" sheet, but has only a 1/4" left, right, top margins and 1/8" bottom margin, the preview showed the bottom 1.5" of the form and part of the text on the side margins cut off.
I selected the "Save as PDF*" option.
I could not find a Fit-to-Page or Reduction-by-Percentage options in the Scan settings. I found "Letter Portrait (8.5 x 11)" and "Entire Scan Area" options. I tried each one with the same result stated above. The "Custom Scan Size" option provided for selecting a specific Width and Length, which would have been 8.5 and 11, the same as had been previously used, therefore it was not tested.
I need all of the text on the sheet to show.

Hello @Erislandy,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I would like to assist you today with scanning the 8.5 x 11 inch sheet on your HP Officejet 5740 e-All-in-One Printer successfully without cutting off portions of the text. To resolve this issue I did some testing of my own on the Officejet 5740 printer I have here, and the following are my findings.
First, I checked into the specifications of your printer. I found that the maximum scan size through the automatic document feeder on your machine is 8.5 x 14 inches. The maximum scan size for the flatbed is 8.5 x 11.7 inches. After finding this information I performed scan tests through both the automatic document feeder and flatbed to verify if there was a significant difference in the settings.
Test 1: I chose the Save as PDF option. I set the Scan Size to Entire Scan Area and loaded the letter size sheet of paper in the automatic document feeder.
This image had a lot of blank space at the bottom and top of the sheet to account for the 8.50 x 14 inch scan size.
Test 2: I chose the Save as PDF option. I set the Scan Size to Entire Scan Area and loaded the letter size sheet of paper on the flatbed.
There is a bit of blank space at the bottom of the sheet.
Test 3: I then ran the scan tests for the 'Save as PDF' option with the Scan Size set to letter for both the automatic document feeder and the flatbed. Both tests came out almost identical.
At no time were the margins changed to cut off the text on the report.
This got me thinking that perhaps a setting conflict was occuring that was causing the text on your scanned image to crop down to a size.
If you open the HP Scan software on your computer and click Advanced Settings on the bottom left, please make sure that the Auto Crop option is not selected.
Once Auto Crop has been disabled, please click OK and perform your scan again. I found that when I ran the same test scan with Auto Crop enabled the margins were cut off. In regards to a Fit-To-Page option, there is no such setting within the software.
Please respond to this post with the result of checking your scan settings. Should the issue persist, can you please clarify if you're scanning through the flatbed, or the automatic document feeder on your product. I look forward to hearing from you!

Header font goes out of column width in fit to page option for print

Hi,
I've tried to print wide report as landscape with fit to page option. it printed out good but when i saw column header, header has missed some words.for e.g my column name is "Legacy Order" and it's showing only "Legacy Or" even i wrapped that column. it's works fine with 90% scalling option.i'm still confusing because there are over 1000 reports existed and i think i will have to touch all reports to print correctly.Older version took cares all of those things.
Any idea would be great for me.
Thanks,
Jay

KDE: margins incorrect when printing because of fit-to-page option

I'm attempting to print a PDF file with Okular (happens with other KDE/Qt applications as well) to my HP Deskjet D2530 printer. The PDF has one inch margins on all sides, but when printing, additional space is added to the margins.
The page prints perfectly using lp:
$ lp /Path/to/PDF.pdf
Should also note it prints perfectly with non-KDE applications such as epdfview.
I turned on debug mode in CUPS to find what options KDE sends to CUPS. I narrowed it down to the "fit-to-page" option causing the issue.
I can reproduce the incorrect margins exactly with this command:
$ lp -o fit-to-page -o PageSize=Letter /Path/to/PDF.pdf
Now the issue I'm having is disabling this. I see nowhere in the KDE print dialog to disable fit-to-page, and have searched CUPS' documentation for a way to disable it on that end, but could not find anything. Searching for this issue has similiarly turned up nothing. I've also tried adding "fit-to-page=false" to ~/.cups/lpoptions with no result. I can't be the only one who has dealt with this. Is there some configuration option I'm missing somewhere or should I report this as a bug upstream?

hello!
i have a similar problem:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 3#p1402373
for me the fit to page cmdline option does not apply and the output is always bigger than one page ... same goes for print menues with the option to turn on/off fit to page ...

Printing problem: "fit to page" option does not work, even from cmd

hello!
i am switching a company over to linux, that's why i am trying to make it shine as much as possible!
unfortunately i have to explain why something as simple as printing an email to one page instead of 1 and half isn't working...
no matter what i always get the same layout ... through
a) print menues which give me the option to scale to page e.g. firefox's print menue or
b) command line with the option found in (http://localhost:631/help/options.html#FIT_TO_PAGE)
lp -o fit-to-page filename
lpr -o fit-to-page filename
they both do not result in a scaled to one page output, instead i get the same result a print without any extra configuration gives me (2 pages).
i don't know where to report this problem!?
since i don't know whether it is an arch, Canon, CUPS or postscript problem ...
my setup is:
manjaro/arch linux (latest packages)
CUPS 1.7.1
canon imagerunner irc2880 - printer language = postscript
gnome 3.10
(i use the canon "cque" aur package to get the only working ppd for this printer (cel-irc2880-ps-de.ppd) [working = print both b/w & color] ... ps stands for postscript.
pls help or direct me to the right channels
THANK YOU

i have checked with another printer ... same problem
can anyone with firefox tell me whether the checked checkbox
"ignore scaling and fit to page" or something (mine is german) under:
firefox -> print... -> options
works for you?

I can't get firefox to pull up last sites, also there is no blank page option

Firefox used to pull up last websites that were open in prior session. It no longer will do this, also there is no option for blank page. I went into tools and options, checked when firefox starts open last websites and tabs, but it won't do that. I'm using win 7, 64bit. Can anyone please help?
Thanks

Fit to Page doesn't work on HP 8600

I have a HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-All-in-One Printer I purchased from BestBuy a few days ago, and am checking out the functions that I deem critical. One of the features I use often is the copy subfunction, "Fit to page" -- I know how to work the 8600 menus, and after a little futzing around I found the "Fit to page" option, selected it, and tried to enlarge an original to fit the (letter size) page. Alas, it printed at 100%. I tried manual enlargement, and it worked. Never could get "Fit to page" to work.
So I then opened up Photoshop and made a prestine target for testing: a 4x6 inch graphic, 300 pixels/inch, white background with a 12 point black border. On the inside I filed it with 12-point Times Roman text. I printed it on my LaserJet 200. Finally, I trimmed it, leaving a margin (about 1mm) around each edge.
This gave me a good clean copy. I first set the 8600 to enlarge the copy by 175%, and it came out as expected (enlarged). Next I set the 8600 to "Fit to Page" and once again it produced a 100% copy.
Yikes!
So I called HP telephone support. There was a language barrier in our 50 minute conversation (he was located in Delhi, India), but that wasn't the biggest problem. We just could not get it to work. I'm not tech dummy (wrote my 1st program 51 years ago), and have used HP printers since the the Deskjet 540. All familiar territory. But I confess I'm flummoxed.
HELP !!

Responding to AWBrown
Yes, I've tried the HP forum, and it has not been helpful. I've encouraged two other friends to purchase 8600s in the past year (since the 8500 went off the market); both did (actually, as I recall, both were from BestBuy) and both are well pleased with their purchase. However, neither has any use for the "fit to page" copy function. I normally use it about three times each week. I could make up an enlarging calculator using Microsoft Excel, but I actually choose the 8600 because it is the successor to the 8500 and it kept the "fit to page" copy function. Someone suggested that I try to place the original copy on the scanner bed instead of using the document feeder -- well, that is the way I started (and always did on the 8500) -- I tried the document feeder only after the scanner bed failed.
Several hours of telephone calls with HP tech "support" has not be helpful -- the second person was going to escalate the issue to her supervisor and call back. Alas, no return call. All they have are scripts which, the best I can tell, help them navigate through the printer's control panel menu. None of them have actually used this feature before. And there is no "ticket number" so that with each call you go through the same lengthy process to reset the 8600 to factory defaults -- something I can do in my sleep now.
After being involved in what we now call IT for 50 years, this has been one of my most flustrating experiences. My concern is that I may take the 8600 back to BestBuy (I'm still within the 15 day return window), and have the replacement unit do the same thing.
Yikes!

Since I have upgraded to ios7 my internet banking page will not fit the screen. Before updating I enlarged the page by using the *2 button in the bottom right hand of the screen, there no longer is that option?

Install or Reinstall OS X from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
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.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
      left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
      the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
      the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
           because it is three times faster than wireless.

Controlling print options esp. fit to page

is there a way to control print options, particularly fit to page, from within the PDF itself?
We provide print ready files for our clients who print them as needed, but they are brochures that are set up for fit to page OFF, otherwise the white border (because it can't bleed) around it is uneven.
So they would send the file to our print shop and the printer would automatically print it with this option off, based on the pdf settings for that document.

Go to Properties (Crtl+D) and the advanced tab, you can set the print porperties that will come up by default there, it is still possible to over ride them though.

Is there a way to get a "Send Page " option under the File drop down?

There is an option under the "File" drop down to "Send Link" is there a way to add a "Send Page" option?

Click-hold the unified Back / Forward button, or right-click it to get the Back / Forward history for that tab.
Or install this extension to get the old "drop-marker" button restored. <br />

Cause and effect map, zoom = "fit to page" - default option

when opening cause and effect map, the default zoom option is : zoom = 100%.
how can I change the default to be : zoom = fit to page ?

Sorry no workaround as yet...
I too am now sick of the amount of expensive paper I have wasted due to the Preview app default print setting of 'Scale to fit'.
- No option to print at 100%, you have to manually input this information.
- No way to change this default in preferences, you can change the opening viewing size of a doc to 100% though.
- Doesn't remember the previous settings if you decide to reopen the doc and print another copy.
I also found that if I attempted to print an A4 doc with bleed and crop marks, it would set the default paper size to A4 and the annoying scale to fit would be set to 83%. If I then changed the scale by typing in 100% but don't hit enter for fear of the print starting and then simply use the drop down to change the paper to A3 and then change the orientation and then hit enter it ignores that you have changed the scale and prints your doc at 83% on A3 - Brilliant!
It's a shame to say that I will be going back to acrobat for pdfs!
If you can't put a 100% scale radio button on the print dialogue box either allow people to change the default in prefs or even better allow the presets to control paper size and scale of printing!

HT4168 Is there a version of Pages that allows you to paste a webpage?

Is there a version of Pages that allows you to paste a webpage into Pages and retain the text that's on the webpage? Pages-09 drops about 90% of the web-page text, when a webpage is pasted into Pages.

1. You can print webpages to pdf in Safari and retain all the links
2. Pages does retain most of the formatting your problem is probably the way you selected it and insufficient width in the page to fit the layout
3. There are some objects and code that won't translate to DTP document, Pages is not a browser
4. If all you want is the text use command option shift v

Printing fit to page: how to capture it to drive printing of the Printable

The print dialog allows through the properties button to set document to fit to scale. I am not clear how to capture that either as a PageFormat or a PrintRequestAttribute. Any pointers on this?
Thanks

The Problem with fit-to page and HTML is that it is not working. HTML is not a Pageoriented design like PDF. There are a lot of strange things to take care of, if you want to print html in that way that a Browser recognizes the Layout and prints it correctly. The easiest way is to let a external tool (like Html-toPdf Converters or export to Excel)perform the conversion to achieve a good printing result. Excel has a excelent Print engine. But it is a lot of effort to create the excel format in Office XML Style. I created an external Windows service which can convert HTML to Pdf. Together with 2 new items which offers Pagesetup and Pagebreak options in the WAD. The User can choose print out of the contextmenu, which calls the windows service on the Application server, and returns the PDF file in separate window. Afterwards the user can print with acrobat reader.
FROM my opinion it is really difficult to transform the html in good looking way. for example. You have a large table with more than one Characteristic in the drilldown. If you now want to transform the html, it is difficult, because the Tablecells uses row and colspans, which are not breakable. and so. Also you have a problem with header an footers.
Also you have a problem with printing if you make us of the broadcaster. The user who receives the html-files cannot print them, and also he can't call the helpservice, because he is offline...
best regards.

Blank page is getting displayed in SAPScript when using NEW-PAGE option.

Hello Experts,
We have created a customized SAPScript and in this separate Script is generated based on the currency(WAERS).
So if we have 3 different currencies, then 3 pages will be created with there details, but we are using NEW-PAGE option in
MAIN window to separate the pages and after 3rd page it is displaying 4th page also with footer details.
So how can we avoid last blank page which is getting displayed?

Hi isha.walia ,
This issue can be solved by two ways. Please take the one which suits you better.
Solution 1: If you need to generate separate prints for different currencies.
In the driver program, build an internal table for different currencies which needed to be printed. (Using delete adjacent duplicates, build the internal table with exact number of currencies to be printed). Remove the NEW-PAGE option and call the script/form inside the loop. Do the necessary conditions to manipulate the print.
Advantages of above solution: Better control on spools if needed.
Solution 2: Get the count of the number of pages in a variable. Inside the print loop, increment a flag counter. Check it against the variable which contains the number of pages to be printed at the end of each page. Exit the loop when the number of pages to be printed is reached.
Advantage of above solution: Simple to write the program.
Thanks and Regards

Print Module - Page Panel: Page options & Photo Info lost

In the print module there are only 4 features left now in my final release version of LR3:
1. Page Background colour
2. Identity Plate
3. Watermarking
4. Cut Guides.
Victoria Bampton described also the features with a screenshot of LR3b2 in her "Missing FAQ-Rough Cut" (page 366):
4. cut guides did not exist, but instead Page options with tick boxes, then 5. Photo Info drop down box, then 6. Font Size.
What has happened?
How do I cover the following use case: Create an invitation with photos and own free text about date/time/venue?
Please don't answer "export a jpg from Lightroom and then use MS Word or some other editor".
From the beta phase I got the impression that creating such a pdf should be possible directly from Lightroom.

How do I cover the following use case: Create an invitation with photos and own free text about date/time/venue?
Lightroom's text layout features might not be as powerful as you might thought. You're option are:
Use a custom Identity plate to add some static text or graphic anywhere on the page.
Use watermarking to add some static text or graphic anywhere on the photo.
Use Photo Info to add some metadata, such as IPTC location or capture time, somewhere around your photo.
