Remarks

The following settings are available:

Setting	Description	Constant

2 - Zoom	Uses the setting for the PrintZoomFactor property	PrintScalingMethodZoom

Set the PrintScalingMethod property before you use the PrintSheet method to print the sheet.

This property is set at the sheet level. Set the Sheet property before setting this property if there are multiple sheets.

Note the following about using the SmartPrint capability:

If the information can be printed without making any changes, the sheet prints in portrait mode.
If the sheet is wider than a portrait page, the sheet prints in landscape mode.
If the information does not fit in landscape mode, but will fit in landscape mode if the sheet is reduced up to 60% of its original size, the sheet is scaled to fit within the page.
If the information cannot be scaled to fit, the sheet tries to reduce column widths to accommodate the widest string within each column.
If all attempts to make the sheet print within a page fail, printing resumes normally in the current printer orientation with no reductions.
