You can set scale options for map printing from the Print dialog box.

Note: The options described in this section do not apply when printing a Layout window.
Note: For advice about handling the fill patterns you see on the screen to more closely match what the printer will produce, see Recommendations for Effective Pattern Scaling.

To set a custom map scale and cartographic scale:

  1. On the HOME tab, click Print.
  2. In the Print dialog box, click Options.
  3. In the Map Print Options dialog box, select the Custom radial button and then enter new values in the Custom Map Scale and Custom Cartographic fields.
  4. Click OK to close the dialogs and save your changes.

The Advanced Printing dialog box overrides the default print settings for individual windows. To change the default print settings, on the PRO tab, click Options, and Output Settings.
