Tips for printing large-format posters

If you have a plotter, you can print large posters in their full size. If you don't have plotter, use the following steps to print on smaller paper such as 11"x17". Printing a large format poster on smaller paper may make the text difficult or impossible to read.

  1. Open the poster in Visio.
  2. On the File menu, click Page Setup.
  3. On the Print Setup tab, in the Printer paper section, select the size of paper you want to print on.
  4. On the Print Setup tab, in the Print zoom section, click Fit to, and then enter 1 sheet across by 1 sheet down.
  5. On the Page Size tab, click Size to fit drawing contents, and then click OK.
  6. On the File menu, click Print.
