Resize Print Area to Page Size dialog

Use this dialog to resize the Print Area frame to fit a given paper page size. The top left corner of the Print Area frame remains unchanged, and the size of the Print Area is changed so that the Print Area fits onto the specificed paper page size.

You can enter the paper page size as

A standard paper type, or
A custom size where you enter the width and the height of the Print Area.

When you select option 1) standard paper type, you can also enter a margin width. The margin width is used to compensate for the area along the edges of the paper that the printer is not able to use. The Print Area is resized to size of the standard paper type reduced by the margin width along all edges.

Print Area

You can define a rectangular area on the canvas, which is called the Print Area. When printing, you can choose to print the area defined as Print Area.

The Print Area is indicated with a red rectangle on the screen, unless you have turned off the Print Area.

When you have configured the Print Area with a colored frame, then this frame will be shown instead of the red rectangle.

You can select the Print Area by clicking on the red line (or the frame). When selected, you can resize and move the Print Area.
