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&#160;printable area is white.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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).</p>
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:  </span>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.</div>
