The Scale property contains the percentage factor by which the printed output is to be scaled.

control.Scale[=integer]

Property Value

Integer.  Gets or sets an integer value containing the percentage factor by which the printed output is to be scaled.

Remarks

To set the Scale property, click on the right side of the property and enter the percent output is to be scaled.

To reduce the size of the output, enter a value less than 100.

To increase the size of the output, enter a value greater than 100.

Setting this property at run-time is useful when it is necessary to reduce or enlarge a print file without changing the margin settings.  For example, if the size of the paper is no longer the originally defined size.

Note  Not all printers are capable of scaling or resizing printer output.  It is up to the programmer to ensure the printer supports output scaling or resizing.
