NEED HELP REDUCING AN 11X17 COPY TO 8.5 X 11 - Konica Minolta DiALTA CF910 Copier

Try reducing the image on the 8.5 x 11.
The larger sheets are most likely allowing more information instead of "clipping it".
to resolve the issue repair or remove the font in question.

Is there a paper selection wheel or bar in the tray?

Some of the older Canon models have a dial (usually in the lower right hand corner of the tray) or a slider bar (usually on the left hand side of the tray) when you open it. That has to be set properly or the machine has no idea what size paper is there.

Adobe Reader can be real pain it the... neck sometimes.
But first I would inspect not only the printer setup, but also printer's default print settings. Windows XP has 3 places, where you can see the printer options:
1. Printer properties
2. Print preferences
3. Default print setup.
The third one is the one you have to set. When you double click on your printer icon, a print queue window opens. Choose Printer->Properties, go to Advanced tab, and on the bottom there's a button "Default print setup" (I don't have English XP handy, so I'm translating back to English from my version - excuse me if they might appear a little different).
It's there you need to set up the default page size and so on.

If this still doesn't help, try opening Acrobat Reader, setting the Page Size Scaling to None, printing something and closing Acrobat Reader. From what I've seen, it tends to remember this setting from previous sessions.

You may also try alternative PDF readers, like Foxit Reader or PDF Xchange Reader.

Good luck :)

May be you forgot the Page Setup. If it is: open, copy all (ctrl+A then ctrl+C), File|New, set page to 11x17, paste and re-position.
May be Print Setup is incorrectly configured. Check it by activate the Show Page Tilling option on the menu.

First make sure you are not using "fit to page" as this feature does not work for legal size documents. To fix this problem we need to check several things. First, Press Copy, Load your document, press 1 for number of copies, press the up/down arrow until you get to "paper size" then choose legal (for 11x17). Press OK
It is also possible that your machine is set to reduce/enlarge size to less/more than 100%. If the first solution did not work start over, press copy, load document, enter 1 for number of copies, press up/down arrow to choose "enlarge/reduce" then use right/left arrows to choose 100% (again, do not choose 'fit to page') press OK. Once you have done this, you can set these as default if you like. Press Copy, press up/down arrow to choose new setting, press OK, press 1 to choose YES, press stop/exit.

Hi. I have been using an i9900 for about 4-5 years with several different papers, and yes, there is a big difference in colour rendering between different papers, even those from the same maker.

You need to go to the paper manufacturer's website and look for the profile for that particular type of paper and your printer. I don't know if HP provides, but I do know that Ilford (my favourite) and Kodak do.

Once you have downloaded the profile, you need to copy it to the proper location in Windows. The path is:

C:\Windows\system32\spool\drivers\color.

I have no idea how to handle the problem with a Mac.

You can expect the colour to be off if you are using generic inks.

I hope that this helps. If you want more info, contact me at [email protected]

The NP6551 is an analogue copier, using only mirrors and lenses. It has no way of rotating the image. If you want to reduce a 11x17 to a 8.5x11 both peices of paper need to be fed in the same direction, ie short edge first. Change one of your trays to LTR-R ('R' for Reduction) or feed the LTR paper in thru the bypass in the long direction. If you use te bypass you must specify the paper size as LTR-R, you cannot use FREE.

check your settings on tray one. make sure the you set it to 11x17 by the way what is the model of your machine? don't set the machine to auto detect paper.

sure, first you need to use 12x18 paper in the bypass tray. The using your application select to print 11x17. you then cut the paper to 11x17, thats the only way to print full bleed on this system.
