How to Make Copy Enlargements on Paper
Enlarging a document is sometimes necessary and is a simple process. A copy machine is designed to do this task. The hardest part is often figuring out how much you want your document enlarged and converting that to a percentage.

Select how much you want the document to be enlarged. The buttons and commands to do this vary by machine. It is usually entered as a percentage. If the image you want to enlarge is 5 inches by 5 inches and you want it to be 6 inches by 6 inches, select 120% as the enlargement amount. Selecting a number less than 100% will shrink the document.

Tips & Warnings
Most copiers have a limit of 200% for copy enlargements. If you are trying to make your image a lot larger, make a copy at 200%, then remove the original document from the glass and replace it with the enlarged copy. Decide how much bigger the next copy needs to be than the first copy and put that in for the percentage. Do this as necessary until you have an image the size you want.

Tell us how to place the paper so we get what we want. It always seems to cut off the left side or it seems unpredictable. So you end up with half of the sheet blank and only part of your doc expanded.
