In a web browser's print preview, what does the 'Scale' setting allow the user to modify?
The font style of the text
The percentage size of the printed output
The background color of the web page
The number of copies to be printed
The percentage size of the printed output
The 'Scale' setting in a web browser's print preview determines the magnification or reduction factor of the web page content on the printed page. By adjusting this percentage, users can fit content that is too wide or too long onto a single physical sheet of paper without modifying the original website layout.
The 'Scale' setting in a web browser's print preview determines the magnification or reduction factor of the web page content on the printed page. By adjusting this percentage, users can fit content that is too wide or too long onto a single physical sheet of paper without modifying the original website layout.
The concept of digital document scaling is related to the evolution of the 'Printing Press' technology, pioneered by Johannes Gutenberg in the 15th century, which revolutionized document dissemination and record keeping.
Scale settings typically default to 100 percent, representing the original size of the rendered content.
Lowering the scale percentage allows users to shrink elements to prevent text clipping at the margins.
The 'Fit to page' feature is often an automated preset that dynamically adjusts the scale to keep all content within paper boundaries.
Scale adjustments affect the visual output on paper but do not alter the actual HTML or CSS source code of the webpage.
Option A is incorrect because font style modification requires CSS or browser extensions, not print settings.
Option C is incorrect as browser print dialogs often exclude background graphics by default to save ink; this is controlled by 'Background graphics' toggles, not scale.
Option D is incorrect because the number of copies is a print quantity setting, not a dimension adjustment.
Scale can be adjusted manually in increments, allowing users to fine-tune document legibility for printing.
B is correct тАФ The Scale setting enables users to adjust the percentage size of the printed output to ensure content fits properly on the paper.
In competitive exams, understanding technical settings often overlaps with 'Information and Communication Technology' (ICT) sections, which frequently test UI/UX features of common software like MS Office and Web Browsers.
