Position and scale images
You can adjust the position and
scale of an image using options in the Print dialog box. The shaded
border at the edge of the paper represents the margins of the selected
paper; the printable area is white.
The base output size of an image is determined
by the document size settings in the Image Size dialog box. Scaling
an image in the Print dialog box changes the size and resolution
of the printed image only. For example, if you scale a 72‑ppi image
to 50% in the Print dialog box, the image will print at 144 ppi;
however, the document size settings in the Image Size dialog box
will not change. The Print Resolution field below the Scaled Print
Size area shows the print resolution at the current scaling setting.
Many
printer drivers, such as AdobePS™ and LaserWriter, provide a scaling
option in the Page Setup dialog box. This scaling affects everything
on the page, including the size of all page marks, such as crop
marks and captions, whereas the scaling percentage provided by the
Print command affects only the size of the printed image (and not
the size of page marks).
Note: The Print dialog box may not reflect
accurate values for Scale, Height, and Width if you set a scaling
percentage in the Page Setup dialog box. To avoid inaccurate scaling,
specify scaling using the Print dialog box rather than the Page Setup
dialog box; do not enter a scaling percentage in both dialog boxes.
Reposition an image on the paper Choose File > Print, and
do one of the following:To center the image in the printable area,
select Center Image.
To position the image numerically, deselect Center
Image, and then enter values for Top and Left.
Deselect Center Image, and drag the image in the
preview area.
Scale the print size of an image Choose
File > Print, and do one of the following:To fit the image within the printable area
of the selected paper, click Scale To Fit Media.
To rescale the image numerically, deselect Scale
To Fit Media, then enter values for Height and Width.
To achieve the desired scale, select Bounding Box,
and drag a bounding box handle in the preview area.
