Hello Not sure if site is exclusively for cameras etc But have an MG3150 printer that has suddenly started printing very small images of the pages I am trying to print. Can't remember changing anything. Just suddenly started happening Even if you adjust the fonts to massive size on Google docs or even with a PDF you still end up with a Microscopic version coming out of printer Grateful for any suggestions
Moved to the printing sub forum. Not an exclusive to camera site, but primarily focused on photography.
The "tiny corner" printing might be the result of the "Page Setup" > Scale being set to other than 100%. Likely. "Fit to page" won't cause this unless your Paper Size is wrongly set and the printer somehow misses the descrepancy, then prints on the standard size paper (unlikely - printers usually complain when the paper in the printer and the paper for the job do not match). This might be a result of the "sheets per page" setting having been changed (either deliberately or by accident). The "multiple" sheets settings allows you to print a mulit-page document on one sheet of paper. If you leave the setting in place and later print a single page document, that single page will be reduced by the amount selected in the "multipage document". For example, if the "multi-page" sheets were set at 2, the size is "half". If the "multi-page" sheets is set to 4, the size is 1/4 of the original "full page" size. You can check the complete solution on Printers insider.
Yeah you definately should open the print settings in whatever program is sending it to the printer and take some screen captures of thos settings to review.... Here is an example of what Reo is referring to.
The cause: a tiny spring, intended to load the paper intake rollers, is inadequately weak. The intake / feed-in rollers just slide around on top of the paper instead of gripping it and pulling it into the print mechanism. The solution: a bit of sponge (seriously).
is this the same printer i take it, i certainly is not the same issue Phil had. Definitely a diy type fix you have mentioned there, i did not see it mentioned on the site you linked..
