Printed type much smaller than screen type

I'm working on a Sawtooth G4 running OS 9.2.2. When I print (SimpleText, Word, Excel) the printed type is much smaller than the designated screen size. For instance, if I print 24-point type, it comes out about 14 or 12. If I print 12, it's about six- or seven-point.
The only application not affected is QuarkXPress 4.0.
I'm running ATM Deluxe 4.6.1.
Ideas?

That suggets the wrong driver, or wrong configuration in the right driver.
What printer is this, please?
Has it ever worked properly and does it have the maker's latest drivers for OS 9?
Does it make ny difference what font is used?
Does the same text still shrink in Word and not in XPress if it's typed in one then pasted into the other?

My officejet 6500 prints photos much smaller than they actually are in photoshop. What is the cause?

Photos are seven by four inches and are either 150 or 300 dpi in photoshop. When I try to print them out they come out of the printer at about one by one and a half inches. Using the latest firmware and software for the e709a for xp on xp professional machine running at about 2 gigahertz with 4 gig of ram. When I try to print the same files from MS Paint it prints various quadrants of the the photo on multiple pages.Similar problem occurs with MS Image Viewer application. Any ideas how to fix this?
I am currently uninstalling and reinstalling all hp software. I will clean out temp files and registry with ccleaner then reboot before reinstalling. Just thought I'd ask to see if anyone has a solution for this problem.

Hi there david623,
If that did not work for you lets try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03275041&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
It can fix a lot on its own and if not give a better idea of what is going on.
Best of Luck!

Image size of iPhone 5S is smaller than screen size

When I click any picture with my iPhone 5s, the image size is always 20-30% smaller than screen size. Its like a picture clicked from iPhone 4, is this an issue or is it designed in that way?? Coz Images clicked in potrait mode are always cropped 20-30% and I am not liking it..

If auto adjust to fit with the Default Full Zoom extension isn't working then the pages may be using absolute values for elements and in such a case you would have to zoom the pages manually.
Can you post a link to a few pages where it isn't working properly?

Are the image all the same size the % files open into a document seems to vary with the number of pixels the image being opened has. Check the Image size.

ICloud backups much smaller than usual

I've had an iphone of every generation since the 4. I've been using icloud backups ever since the option was available and the cloud went online. All phones have always been 32gig models. Every iPhone backup over icloud since I can remember has taken up between 3.6 and the allowable free 5 gigs, depending on how full I keep my texts and how often I delete them. Cam roll is not included in backups. I've had to use restore from icloud many times and always with success, including what I'm getting at: A few weeks ago, I had my 5s replaced on a warranty issue, and the backup resored over wifi at the apple store without issue. It was much faster than it used to be, but continued throughout the day with me being able to use the phone. The apple tech who replaced my phone said the restoration process if much faster now and everything was normal. When I got home, I synced all my music and pics from itunes on my imac as usual after a backup restore, then deleted my old icloud backup and set my new phone to backup auto overnight as usual.
Well... all this backstory just to say that my new backup file is only 1.2 gigs. It was originally 800 megs but has grown from text convos. Why is it so small? I haven't changed anything in settings. Is this normal and are everyones iphone data backups smaller now because they changed their way or backing up the data or compressing it a different way? I'm certainly not complaining.. I love it.. but i am concerned that all my usual data is not being backed up.
Thanks for any input I receive and sorry for the long winded explanation.

Printing results are darker than screen. Any help!

I used Aperture to print a book, the book turned up to be darker than it looks on the screen.
I just printed few photos from LR3, the pictures ended up being darker as well. Am I missing something? I use sRGB IEC61966-2.1 profile. which I believe is standard.
I have an iMac 24"/2008. What can I do to get an approximate colours? I have no budget for calibration equipment.
I want to prepare an my wedding album soon. Any advice is appreciated.

I agree with Kirby and Michael completely.
I have made many books (with a couple of various 'self-publishing' provider such as Blurb, and Pro Photo lab such as Pikto in Toronto, Canada, and Apple). My workflow is used with Adobe Creative Suite CS5 (Design Premium CS5 and uses Design Premium versions over the years with Adobe), Apple Aperture and Adobe Ps Lightroom 3, and PhaseOne's Capture One PRO 5. My photography books included black and white, as well as color.
Before I work with my photo files for book projects, I always calibrate monitors with X-Rite ColorMunki Photo. I recommend it highly. I calibrate my monitors EVERY week. In some instance, for extremely important project, I calibrate monitors for that project.
I notice that Kirby (or Michael) or as in many other forum discussion here at Apple Aperture community forums, I don't see any mentions of 'proper' set up with monitor in a room. For example, it is best to *AVOID ANY* light reflection toward monitor by any means. This includes reflection from bright color shirts, room wall, windows and desk lamp. Remove ALL of light reflection distractions! In order to do a proper calibration set up, you need to make sure that there are absolutely NO distractions of light reflections toward monitor. You might want to use grey shirt or black turtleneck similar to that of Steve Job's trademark black turtleneck as an example. The point is to reduce all kind of reflection of lights toward monitor. With the right set up in the 'digital workflow lab' in your room, then proceed with calibration hardware such as ColorMunki Photo from X-Rite.
Additionally, few months ago, I bought ColorChecker Passport, also a product of X-Rite. Very nice workflow, too.
Anyway, once done with proper calibration set up (and regularly), you'll do well with your workflow for your book project. But be cautious and very conservative with yourself. Don't let your eyeballs fool you. Your eyeballs aren't always accurate due to many factors involved mentioned as above. That is where calibration hardware (and specialized software that comes with calibration device provided by vendors such as X-Rite and similar high-end professional-grade third-party vendors).
Don't even think about adjusting brightness manually in monitor's physical setting, it actually ruin the entire workflow process. Don't do it! I had seen many, many, and many (if you will MANY times) discussion about it all over the Internet. This amaze me that there are millions, millions and millions of such similar problems as yours. If done manually and messing around with monitor's physical settings, this really screw this whole work up. This means bad output - simple as that. Unfortunately, some people didn't realize that. There is workaround solution to this, either use Aperture or Photoshop with level or curve adjustment.
However, like I said, once with proper set up in room setting by removing ALL kinds of distraction of light reflections, and all other proper set up (such as neutral darken shirt, wall painted in grey (specialized painting stores offer this), so on, AND IF you believe you think you are seeing some issues with certain images, use it with caution approach in Photoshop with curve or level to brighten or darken.
You want to learn a bit about soft-proofing. Aperture has this capacity to softproof your images whether your images look good for output such as book.
Understand that you can't even get 100% of what you are seeing in monitor with output (books or fine art prints etc). With proper calibration set up, this will get you very close what you are seeing in monitor vs outputs. But with extreme cautious approach, this gets very close, but not 100 percent, though. But pretty close.
You also want to learn more about ICC profile for preparing book files. I don't want to go on and bore you and afraid to confuse you even more. For example, if working with different printers such as Pro Photo lab or other self-publishing companies, or any other printers, DO consider to contact them about ICC profile where you can download these ICC profile. Please note that if they have different paper and types, consider downloading different profiles FOR these paper used in book. But don't worry too much about this, because Apple is pretty good with books and Aperture is pretty good. BUT you gotta to calibrate monitor in order to do a successful digital photo workflow.
Well, you mentioned you don't want to invest in calibration hardware, perhaps that you want to hire a book designer to do a professional wedding book. But if you plan to make many books, DO consider to invest calibration device, this means this save you tons of time, money, effort and saving trees at the same time.
All in all, it is really up to you.
Hope some of tips, ideas and suggestion be of help and informative and educational perspective. Best of luck! Color Management topic itself is very complicated and very highly technical, it takes pro photographers, printers finally to understand what works, why and what's not. Perhaps that you want to look at X-Rite ColorMunki educational webinars about this - just to give you some ideas about why. Again, it is up to you. But the concept is the same with all other calibration device process. X-Rite has many pretty nice informative webinars. I wish that Apple offer this educational webinar about this too.

Why is the sparse bundle so much smaller than the backed up computer...can I be confident all files are backed up?

Hey gang,
iphoto folder became big so I have moved it to an external drive. I made sure the external disk is not excluded from timemachine backup in tm preferences. Backup seemed to take forever (it actually said "preparing for backup" the whole time with a spinning progress bar) ie 24 hours and still the same pogress bar.
i stopped the process as i had no confidence anything was actually happening
When i open up time machine, an earlier version of my imac is there, but the external drive is kind of greyed and i cannot access it.
When I check the sparse bundle size, it is under 200 gb, when my imac is around 600 gb, 900 with the external drive.
Why is the sparse bundle so small relative to the imac? are there hidden data files outside of the sparse bundle? when checking the preferences, it states total included is 921 gb...yet that is not reflected in the sparse bundle size.
I want to be sure iphoto is actually backed up before deleting it from my imac.
thanks anyone!

I am wondering whether the "processing" progress bar was due to the time capsule freeing up space for the additional data on the new external drive. When I cancelled it, available space on the tc incresed from 200 to 500 gb.
Yes, quite possibly. Especially on Leopard and Snow Leopard, that process on network backups is excruciatingly repetitive and slow. It's improved greatly in Lion and later, but still isn't exactly quick.
The backup complete, i checked the contents of the backed up version of the external drive, and the iphoto folder was the same size as original, so I have confidence that iphoto is backed up. Now I could delete the iphoto from the imac, freeing up tons of space.
Yay!
Still curious why the imac sparsebundle is only 160gb, while my macbook pro sparsebundle is about 700 gb...as though they are inversely named from the computers they back up.
Oh, I didn't realize you had two Macs backing-up to the TC. Which one is the external HD connected to?
Unless you've specifically excluded things, after the initial backup, the sparse bundle should be nearly the size of the data it's backing-up (TM does exclude some things like system work files, most caches and logs, and trash, so the backups are a few GBs smaller). As you do more backups, of course, it will grow.
So please clarify how much data is on each drive, Mac, and sparse bundle.
Also, the 2tb time capsule has 258 gb of 1.8 tb available....am I to suppose that there is hidden backup data not in the sparse bundles?
Sparse bundles are odd critters. They don't automatically shrink when things are deleted from them. Instead, the vacated space is used for new files until it's full, then it begins to grow again. Time Machine will "compact" them when necessary, to reclaim the empty space, but doesn't take the time to do it unless it's out of room.
You can do that manually if you want, per the pink box in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #12.

Printing-Why is printed pic cropped smaller than actual pic?

Regardless of paper size/print size selected, every pic I select to print seems to zoom in and cut off the edge when printing. Looks like I zoomed in for the print but I did not. Any help on how to get the print to match what I see on the screen? Thanks.

Sorry if I'm not getting this. My pictures are downloaded from the camera into iPhoto. In iPhoto, I see the entire picture, I then select a photo, print to a 4x6 borderless, and the printed picture has now cut off edges compared to how the picture looks in iPhoto.
One More Time
Try selecting the photo and clicking print, select the printer, paper size and print size and click customize and right click on the preview and select fit to frame - now you should see all of the photo in the preview and the print should have everything
Alternatively you can crop the photo to the print size and print
Obviously if the photos and the print size are different something has to give -

Why is the Log Area size much smaller than the log volume

I have been following up on an Early Watch report that has been generated for our production SCM 5.0 system running liveCache 7.6.02 Build 14. The alert says "The LOG volumes size in your system is too small. Recommendation: Configure LOG Volumes to at least 2 GB". There are two interesting things about this.
1) I have spent the last couple of days reading all the OSS Notes, and MaxDB documentation I could find, and this does not seem to be documented as a recommendation anywhere. Does this seem like a realistic recommendation without taking into account the level of change actifity?
2) There is a single log volume allocated with size 2,097,160 KB. In production LC10 and DBMGUI report this to be correct size under volume details, but only list the total log area size as 1,706,328 (81% of the volume size). We have a non-production environment with exactly the same size log volume, but it reports that the log area size is 2,032,008 KB (97% of the volume). What leads to these different amounts of wasted space, and is there any way of getting the database to start using it?
Thanks,
Mark

Thanks for the explaination of the reserved space for the Log Queue pages. This does explain why there is the difference between the two. I think we probably have our log segment size too large. As you can see we do get occasional log queue overflows. Do you suggest we increase the size of our log IO queue higher, and allocate more log volume space to compensate?

Why is installation file for Exchange Server CU7 much smaller than SP1.iso?

I was wondering why is the ISO-Image for Exchange Server 2013 with SP1 4.5 GB in size and the CU7.EXE only 1.6 GB? I thought CU7 contains everything SP1 contains. Is it because one is a disk image and an other an executable?

The EXE is compressed. When you extract it, it should be close to the same size (probably bigger) than the SP1 iso.

AdobeAcrobatPro: Downloaded pdf's are much smaller than scanned ones. How to get scanned ones to be fewer px and not lose quality?

I have several accounts which post .pdf's to be downloaded. These are good quality and are small (kb) files.
I find when I scan paper documents, they have huge pixelation... and as I make them smaller, they lose readability.
I've tried to scan at 72px-300px. I've tried to save as .jpg which was then added to a .docx. I've tried to simply save as .pdf all from photoshop.
Is there a way to get the quality of a downloaded .pdf document and it's low pixelation when starting from a paper document which must be scanned?
I have a Canon CanoScan Lide 100. and I'm using Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 as well as Adobe Acrobat Pro.

Generally, if you want best quality you don't start with a scan. It's just a HUGE picture.
But you can try the "text recognition" feature of Acrobat ("OCR"). Be sure to experiment with the settings, they have huge effects on the result.
For OCR to work you need good quality scans of good quality originals using common fonts in an expected way (e.g. a page from a magazine).

NetStream.bytesTotal is much smaller than the video

I have a video player running online, which sends error messages when the player loops on movie complete.
I am listening to the NetStatusEvent NetStream.Play.Stop to know that the video has completed playing.
I have a video which is more than 2,000,000 bytes, and the NetStream.bytesTotal in the error range between 2,000 and 5,000 bytes.
It looks like the users with this error are using Flash Player 11.1 and Windows 7.

Well, it does not fit the port. When I had the TV installed, the guy told me I would need HDMI later, and he installed it connected and it has been hanging there unused.
The cord says HDMI on it and it looks like this:

Print is 11 x 18 in LR4-Print module & much smaller in CS6 (same print). What is the problem?

I use CS6 on a Mac pro os 10.8.3 & print to an Epson Pro 4900.
If I print an image via LR4 print module the print comes out at 12 X18 in. Recently I have tried that same image via CS6 and the print comes out at 6 5/8 X 8 1/2 in.
In Print Settings in Printer Setup in the print module of CS6 stats "Super A3 / B 13 X 19 but the printed image dimensions are a little over half of that.
The printer used to print normally in CS6 print file.

I tried your suggestions without success.
I went back and tried adjusting the "Scale:" percentage in "Scaled Print Size"
The image size in the Image Dialogue box is 11 X 16.5 in.
In the Print Dialogue Window the following info is:
Printer EpsonStylusPro4900-26A688
Paper Size Super A / B 13 X 19 in
I then printed out the image after adjusting the Scale percentage which yielded the following results:
At Scale 100% the print comes out at 6.5 X 8 in
At Scale 200% the print comes out at 6.5 X 8 in
At Scale 25% the print comes out at 2.75 X 4.12 in
It appears to me that CS6 is applying an upper size limit but I don't have any idea why.

Why are the backups to iCloud much smaller than those to my PC? I subscribed to extra iCloud space expecting for the backups to be the same size. Now I have more unused iCloud space I don't need, can I get a refund?

Backups to my PC were almost 30 G bytes each time, backup to the Icloud is only 1.4 G bytes. Expecting the backups to be about the same size I subscribed to extra Icloud space. Can I stop my Icloud pace subscription amd get a refund? I have all this extra space and have no use for it. It does not appear there is a way to use this space for other storage purposes.

You can't merge iCloud backups. You could create a current backup of your phone, then restore the backup of your old phone to it and save any data you want to keep, the restore it again to the current backup. Some of your old recovered data could then be synced back to your new phone (such as photos), but other data cannot (such as text message conversations). You may not want to save any of your old data but restoring the backup would be the only way to see what's there.

Forwarded images are much smaller than the original

Something new has happened. After 10 years of Mail I am just experiencing this phenomenon. When I forward an email with pictures or illustrations attached, the forwarded images are about 75% the size of the original. In many instances that takes the readability away. Does anyone have an idea how I can fix this or what causes it? Thanks.

What size is set in the New Message widow in Mail?
