  • METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY ADJUSTING SIZE OF OUTPUT IMAGE OF PRINTER
    Publication number: 20140368839
    Abstract: A method for automatically adjusting a size of an output image of a printer includes the following steps. Firstly, a default output size of a ready-to-print image is acquired from a page information file of the ready-to-print image. Then, the default output size is compared with the size of a ready-to-print paper on an input tray of the printer. If the default output size does not comply with the size of a ready-to-print paper, an output image with an adjusted size corresponding to the ready-to-print image is generated.
