Onscreen font very small compared to large font in print

Fonts on screen are much smaller than printed versions. Can't harldy see onscreen & I'm sending resumes!!

This is in TextEdit set at 100% wrap to page & what I'd like it to print as, but if you print it you'll see the difference. Almost 2 to 3 points larger

I just printed the page from here & it all looks like it should look. What setting could be incorrect?
I've checked & tried almost everything I know.
Thank you thank you for any help you can give

Hello MartyTheArtist,
May I know you installed Basic Print Driver or Full Feature Software?
I am not holding 7110 printer but I have access officejet 6700 and Photosmart 7510.
Anyway, you should able to see the similar print options if you did install full feature software.
When you print, under the print advance options, there is an option called. "HP Real life Technologies". You may on this option and it will "automatically remove redeye in photographs and to automatically adjust high-contrast photos to reveal details that are otherwise lost in shadows. I have attached the screen shot for your reference."

I am an amteur photographer and personally, I do prefer to do post processing jobs in Photoshop first and then use the printer just to print by choosing the apporopirate photopaper and using Best Mode.
May be you might have differnet preferences way of doing it. I am just sharing my way of printing photos
By the way, when you install Full Feature Software, you have the option to install HP Photo Creation Software which is very simple and easy to create greeting cards, photo books and many other things. Maybe you might give it a try if you have not tried.
Kindly let us know if you have more queries
Cheers,
Bryan

I seem to get a variety of font sizes with different websites, usually very small compared to IE. How can I enlarge these?

Facebook's page is oversized and bleeding off the page. Gmail is a small font, shop.com/pamguttman is a very small font. I've looked at screen resolution but that doesn't change anything.

Why ist the printed font size smaller then the choosen font size in pages

Hi,
sorry about my english it´s a lot of years agoo i used it.
since a cuple of months i choosed a mac mini to be used as my favorit pc-system. Now i am using pages to create letters and stuff like greeting cards, posters, flyers and so on.
In this i´ll find a problem between the choosen font sizes and the printed paper.
If i choose a font and size like arial 12, and start the print job of the lettert with my Printer (Samsung 3170 MFC or Samsung 315), the size of the printed font is very smaller than the in pages choosen font (seen on the screen.
If i use MS offce it is the right size on the screen as on the printet paper.
What do i wrong?
Greetings from Hamburg Germany

Maybe because your document isn't displayed at 100% but at 120% on your screen.
On my iMac, to get the same size on screen and on paper, the zoom factor must be 142% which can't be done thru the available interface.

Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems, make sure that the window is not maximized:

If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" as a high value can cause such issues.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
Make sure that you allow websites to choose their fonts.

Time Machine Backup File Size : Very Small compared to MAC HD

I did my first backup and my MAC HD where everything is at is about 319.73 in capacity and Im only using 167.78 storage space. When the backup is complete the file size is only 40Gb , I find that so odd , is that normal will everything restore to its original state If I had to reinstall the OS ?

OK, here it is

So, is the problem that I used Time Machine on my previous machine to backup to a different volume? Then perhaps it has just tried to backup things that may have changed in the couple of months since I last backed up on that machine?
If so, how do I get time machine to start afresh with my new Time Capsule?

While using comcast email, my fonts got smaller and would like to make it larger?

I was moving my mouse while using my email, all of a sudden the screen zoomed out, and then again; making the fonts very small to read. This did not change any other web site, just comcast email. If I use internet explorer, for my comcast email, I have no problem.

Firefox, unlike IE, is displaying my pages in very small print that is hardly legible; please help.

My website consists of 6 pages, and on Firefox, 2 of the pages show the printing very small. On both pages, the printing occurs within a white box. It does not happen on Internet Explorer. I have no other browsers, so I don't know about any others. But, I know Firefox is popular, and I would like all the pages to be legible on Firefox. Can you help me?

Safari and Firefox calculate relative font size slightly differently than IE and Opera do.
'''font-size: x-small''' is what you specify as font size. Try using '''12''' or '''14''' as a specific size for the font, rather than a '''''relative''''' such as x-small and large.

Ouput Inside of PDF email is now Very Small

Hi,
We have our SAP ouput go through scot and become a PDF on a regular basis. All of a sudden the image inside the pdf is very small compared to what it was the day before. This happened on one day, about 3 weeks ago.
ECC 6.0
1) Checked for transports that day. Cant find anything.
2) Checked pdf1 device type, all looks good.
3) Checked format and basic X_PAper so no change.
4) The SAP spool seems to be formatted normally and not small. (before it becomes a PDF)
Cant figure out what would have changed to make this start happening all of a sudden.
Any ideas?
thanks
brad

Hi Brad,
I suposse its either a problem on the compression (SAP note 843480?) or with the reader itself. Do you get the same problem on other workstations with other versions of Adobe reader or the reader you are using?
Br,

Font is shown very small when using IE Tab and Windows Display is selected to show larger fonts

I'm on Windows 7 - 64 bit and I set my Windows display to show larger fonts (from Control Panel, Display, then choose Larger Fonts). Now all pages show bigger fonts, except when I use IE Tab.
I use IE Tab so that I can open my Microsoft Dynamics CRM website on Firefox; however the fonts look way too small; it is even smaller than when the Display Setting was set to use normal size fonts.
Tried to change to use smaller resolution, it didn't work. Zooming-in is very slow on Firefox, so it is not an option for working on the webpage. Tried changing the default fonts on Firefox, however the page is still always opened with the very small fonts.
From Firefox I also unchecked the "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above" (from Tools, Options, Content, Advanced), but it still doesn't fix it.
Played around with my Firefox IE Tab setting, but no luck.
I downgraded my Firefox to version 3.5.9 to use the older IE tab, but still not fixed yet.
Is there a solution for this? Thanks in advanced for your help,
-Elisabeth

Hi...
Thanks for asking....
As I put in my post before, I include template0 in my template1, as seen in template1 (AHM001):
<af:pageTemplateDef var="attrs">
*<af:pageTemplate viewId="/template/AHM000.jspx">*
I use AHM000 inside AHM001. I use this approach to build many template based on one basic design.
Actually, I don't think the problem is in page template usage because as I submitted paralel to Metalink, I've already not called template0 in template1 but I copy template0's contents to template1.
Unfortunately, page designer show small view and below error messages still occured.

Photoshop Elements 12 with UHD (4k) Monitor - Very small Fonts and Icons

Hello,
I´m using Photoshop Elements 12 under Windows 8.1 64bit with a Sapphire Radeon X9 R290 4GB-Graphics Card. Since a couple of days with a new Dell UP2414Q, UHD (4k) Monitor, max. Resolution 3840x2160 Pixel.
After connecting this device and using max. Resolution, most Fonts appear so small, that it is almost impossible to read.
Dell delivers a Display Manager-Software that allows to scale Fonts. Most Windows Apps are using this. Font Size is already set to 200%.
Unfortunatelly Organizer and Photoshop ignore this and text remains very small within these programs.
Activating "Bearbeiten / Voreinstellungen / Allgemein / Systemschrift verwenden" did not help.
Deinstallation (and deleting user-Settings) with Reinstalling also did not help.
(I added a screenshot here, but it does not show the truth... In reality all Fonts are about half the size.)
How can I get larger Fonts?
I´m really looking Forward to an answer.
Regards.

How do I enlarge the font in messages received and sent? I have it set at "13", but it is very, very small on my screen. I can't seem to change the appearance of the tool bar even when I try to "customize".

How do I enlarge the font in messages received and sent? I have the font set at "13", but the appearance on my screen is very, very small. When I try to "customize the toolbar" to look like the tool bar above this message, I am unable to do so. Please advise. Thank you.

Thanks MartinR, yes the Toggle bars can be adjusted so that I can see all the tracks - just in the smallest setting - however this also creates a huge area of grey which serves no other purpose than to "use up screen space". If this is deliberate then there is nothing one can do - since presumably the additional profit made on screen sales is more important to Apple, than the combined annoyance to those working on a 13" laptop. Of course a 15" screen or even 17" screen may make this wastage less obvious. Please indicate that this is all incorrect and explain why it is important to have space waiting "for additional tracks", even if I have no intention of making additional tracks. If that is the answer then perhaps additional space to the left and right of the timeline would be useful in case I wish to make a 30 minute film, so that it could be placed there without having to drag anything. It may be that I am expecting software than can be tailor adjusted, each parameter to the desired level as in professional items and since this is a cheap consumer program it is not possible.
I bought Final Cut Pro for a lot of money (when it first appeared it was thousands and not just hundreds) but never used it since it was too complicated and tedious, but maybe there, this problem of screen wastage does not occurr, perhaps someone can advise! I could go back and reinstall it, but it was made for 10.2.8 and not 10.6.8 so it would not run on this macbook. I recently bought an old 15" TitaniumPowerbook (from 2005) and despite running at 1MHz the response time on it is "instantaneous" - amazing to not have the almost half second delay on many commands - graphics appear nearly immediately (just 5 milliseconds delay) and this makes working so much more enjoyable, not having the (350ms) stutter of 10.6.8 which we all get used to after our initial disappointment.
Thanks for your help!
