Document size and Paper size
Document size is the page size defined in your application’s Print setup (or Page setup) dialog
box. Paper size is the size of the actual sheet of paper on which your job is printed. It may be
useful to think of Document size as digital
input
(the page size defined in your original
document) and Paper size as the physical
output
(the actual size of the paper in the copier
tray).
In cases when you print one document page per sheet of paper, Document size is usually the
same as the Paper size. However, Document size may differ from Paper size when you print
booklets or impose multiple document pages on a single sheet.
The following illustrations show examples of possible relationships between Document size
and Paper size. Note that the orientation of all pages shown is Landscape.
Document size may also differ from Paper size when using the Scale or Scale to Fit options.
The Scale option reduces or enlarges the document page at a specified percent. The Scale to
Fit option automatically reduces or enlarges the document image to fit the selected Paper size.
For information about Scale and Scale to Fit, see
page 104
.
For information about Document size and Paper size in booklet printing, see Booklet Maker
Help.
