Hello Community.

Quick question for my print() setting:

I have my app screen size 1366 x 768, orientation : Landscape, Size 16:9 (Default)

When I select the button to print the screen size gets bigger and then I am getting those scroll bars. Very annoying for the user.

I noticed that inserting a "Landscape print" is says is optimized for A4 printing. Could be this the issue? My print button Navigate to this screen.

Is there any way to keep this is the same screen size and print in a Letter format?

Thanks in advance

Re: Print Screen change size

I know it is an old topic, but can anyone confirm that I actually can print to other target sizes than DINA4 & Letter? I am trying to print to a label printer (2.5 x 3.5 inch) without any success and the official documentation sounds like only DINA4 / Letter size printing is supported.
Thanks a lot

Re: Print Screen change size

@sajarac Not really, each Screen can by any size as you like. Normally we'll keep it the same to give a consistent user experience. But for Print Screen you'll have to match it with your paper size.
Hope this helps!

Re: Print Screen change size

Hi @CNT , Sorry but for some reason I can not get this thing to work properly.

Could you please explain to a newbie ?

my app screen size 1366 x 768, orientation : Landscape, Size 16:9 (Default) and every subsequent screen added will have the same size no?

Re: Print Screen change size

@sajarac Print takes whatever is inside of your screen and sends it to your printer. So 2 thing are important,
1. Your Screen size should match the target paper size.
2. You must manage the contents inside that screen so that they don't spill beyond the size of your Screen to avoid getting scroll bars or hidden contents.
