Sizing the photo

When I set up my photo to be a 5X7 or and 8X10 or whatever, and then I print it, the size is always altered. I've tried making the canvas be the size of the paper, then making the image the desired proportions but it still alters the size. How can I get the P 400 to print the actual size of the photo?

Unfortunately, the P400 seems to have its own set of sizes. The printer will give a print close to the size selected. (This is really noticeable with the perferated psper.) The situation is no different with the P440.

Gtr 1000 losing power I have to keep changing down gears to get top end back up I have stage 3 jet kit and separate aftermarket air filters could this be a vacuum problem?

go back to basics with the carby/s
they are designed to give top performance at all rpms and torque settings for the engine
accordingly the jet sizing has been carefully set to give that performance
if you alter that sizing believing that bigger jets means more power , then you are altering the air/fuel ratio
it is all well and good if you have fitted a real lumpy cam as that gets extra air for the bigger jets
if you want better power at top end then spend a dollar in a bike shop that has a dyno so that the jets sizes can be selected and tested in a running engine under load

Uneven borders how do i fix it

If you are trying to do this by setting borders manually you are probably running into the Canon's minefield of "minimal printed borders" which throw off calculations. The manual setting is primarily for off-setting images rather than for perfectly centered images.
For a centered image, the borders are automatically set by the relationship of image sizing to paper size, with "center image" checked and other sizing options unchecked. This has worked perfectly in the three Canon printers I've owned, whereas trying to set even borders manually was always off a bit and a real pain.
If you want the same border width for all sides, the aspect ratio of the paper and image will have to be different, strangely enough, for all but square images. For 1" borders all around on 10x15 paper, e.g., your 2:3 AR image will have to be cropped and sized to 8X13" dimensions.Hope It's resolve all Your Printer Problem,

My problem in editing photos is about the pictures graphics

When editing photos the key thing to remember is that the resolution is high. For example if you are re-sizing an image that is small in image size, you are going to get some pixelation.
A neat trick in trying to fix this is by going to: "Image" > > "Image Size" >> And then you'll see something called resolution. if its on 72dpi, change it to 300 dpi
*Remember if your'e working with something for print then its always better to work in CMYK Hope this helps

Hi Dianne, Check your photo size, if they are a large file size then this may cause issues. Try re-sizing some of your photos and try that (make back-up copies! - just in case!)

I need to make copies of my little brothers highschool football pics to send into the coaches at colleges, i try to scan the image of a 5x7 to 4x6 photo paper but it ends up cutting the image in half...

The images need to be re-sized. It's important when re-sizing to keep aspect proportions since a 5x7 print is a vertical or portrait print and a 4x6 is a horizontal or landscape print. Therefore, when re-sizing if you check off keep aspect ratio, you may get either 4" tall or 6" wide but not both or you'll stretch the picture distorting it. Picasa by Google is a good and easy to use photo editing program that should suit your needs and is a free download. Picasa Best of luck with your project and please post back with any other questions.

Mismatch paper size error

Click on Print, then Properties, then features.
About half way down there is a drop down box under sizing options.
Click on custom
Create a name, and put your width and height in.
Click Save and then OK
Completely X out of the print options.
Then Click
File, print
on the bottom of that screen there should be a scale to paper size drop down box. Scroll to the bottom and your saved name and dimensions should be there.

You will have to setup each individual sized template ones and then just scale to fit each time. Hope this helps

Printer problem

From the Printers & Faxes window, check in the i9950 Printing Preferences, Page Setup tab, for the following settings:

Page Size and Printer Paper Size are both set for the same size (both A4 or both A3).
Printing Type is set for Normal-size Printing

The graphic on the left should now show A4 (or A3) and Normal-size Printing in the legend.

Once that is set, verify from the application you're printing from that these settings are not being changed by the application (Preferences button in the print dialog box).
