PDF
Use the PDF page in the Embedded Web Server to view the PDF version used to process PDF files, and to set default settings for processing PDF files.
Note:The default settings appear as the Automatic settings for the Print from USB feature at the device control panel. You can override these settings at the control panel.
To configure default settings for PDF:
1. In the Embedded Web Server, click Properties > Apps > Printing.
2. Click Page Description Languages > PDF.
3. In the Default Settings area, for Scale Image, select an option:
•None: Select this option to print the image at its original size. No scaling is applied.
•Fit to Page: Select this option when the image is smaller or larger than the target paper size. The image is scaled to fit the paper size. The image is not cropped and white space can occur. This option is the default.
Note:The image is scaled so that the longest edge of the image fits on the page. This scaling can result in blank areas on opposite sides of the printed image.
•Fill Entire Page: Select this option when the image is smaller or larger than the target paper size. The image is scaled to fit the paper size so that no white space occurs. Typically, image cropping occurs.
Note:
• The image is scaled so that the smallest edge of the image fits on the page.
• The way in which the image is cropped depends on the image dimensions, the centering option chosen, and whether automatic rotation is applied.
•Shrink to Fit: Select this option when the image is larger than the target paper size. The image is scaled down to fit the paper size. For images that are smaller than or equal to the target paper size, no scaling is applied.
•Custom Scale (25–400%): Select this option to scale the image to a specific percentage, then enter a reduced or enlarged percentage value. The default is 100%, no scaling applied.
Note:Scale Image does not work with PostScript files whose images cannot be modified.
4. For Center, select an option:
•Center Image: Select this option to center the scaled or unscaled image on the target output sheet. This option is the default.
•Do Not Center
5. Smart rotation, if enabled, can provide a better fit of the image on the output sheet by maximizing the printed area and minimizing the white space. Depending on the scaling option selected, the Smart Rotate option varies.
•For Scale Image, if you selected Fit to Page or Shrink to Fit, for Smart Rotate, select an option:
▪ Rotate to Reduce Whitespace: Select this option for the device to determine if a 90–degree rotation before scaling can improve the fit of the image on the page. An improved fit reduces white space.
▪ Do Not Smart Rotate
•For Scale Image, if you selected None, Fill Entire Page, or Custom Scale, for Smart Rotate, select an option:
▪ Rotate to Reduce Cropping: Select this option for the device to determine if a 90–degree rotation before scaling can improve the fit of the image on the page. An improved fit reduces image cropping.
▪ Do Not Smart Rotate
6. Click Apply.
