How do I set up a plotter to print my project?

[lindsey]

The printer is telling me the project is not fitting to the size paper of the
plotter. The screen says it is only fitting to 10% of the paper size, how do
they fix this? The plotter is an HP 5500.

Hi,

Have you set the paper size in page setup?

Does the printer print to the size of paper set under page setup?

Under page setup, is the scaling 100% or is it set to either a different
value, or set to a number of pages wide by number of pages tall?

Try changing these settings.

Also check under the 'View' tab to make sure that you are only printing the
number of columns you want on all pages, and not printing blank pages unless
you really do want to print blank pages.

Hope this helps
