How to scale to 100% for printing

manax21

My reports and invoices are all printing at about 75% scale (in upper left corner of page). My household printing (outside of Quicken) are printing fine at 100% scale. How can I adjust the scale back to 100%?

Usually the key is to right click on the Windows desktop, pick display settings, and temporarily set the page scaling to 100%.

This may make the on screen fonts uncomfortably small but will make the preview match the printed page.

Is the problem you are seeing just with the print preview, or does it also affect physical printing?

It affects only the print preview.

Sorry, my response wasn't clear. It prints full page properly, it's only when I want to preview on the screen before committing to paper that it is small.

Are you using a hi-res 4k monitor?
What version, edition level (Starter, Deluxe, etc.) and release of Quicken are you using?   US or Canadian version?
Click Help / About Quicken (Mac: Quicken / About Quicken) to get this information.

What version of Windows or Mac OS are you using?

I guess this is one of the display issues Quicken hasn't been able to get a handle on quite yet.

Experiment with the following override settings, to see if it helps ...

If you are using a version of Quicken at the Quicken 2019 US R 19.44 patch level or newer and you have previously made the following Compatibility change, please undo the change.
Users of other Quicken versions please try the following:

• Close Quicken !!! (This process won't work while Quicken is running!)
• Check the Compatibility tab settings in your Quicken Desktop program icon:
• In the Windows Start Menu right-click the Quicken icon. Select "Open File Location". This brings up a Windows File Explorer window. Right-click the highlighted Quicken shortcut line item.
  or
• Go to the traditional Windows Desktop and right-click the Quicken program icon.
• Now click Properties.
• Select the Compatibility tab.
• Uncheck all settings.
• Windows 7, 8.1: Check "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings". 
  Windows 10:  Check "Override high DPI scaling behavior. Scaling performed by:" and select "Application"  (also try the other available options repeating the entire procedure!)
• Be sure to uncheck the "Run this program in compatibility mode for [older Windows version]" setting.
• Click the "Change settings for all users" button.
• Click Apply and exit.
• Now start Quicken and see if that makes a difference.

Some additional tuning suggestions:

• Try this workaround for 4k monitors

• Unless absolutely required, try not to use "View / Use large fonts"
• Try setting the bank account registers to use a different font style or size: go to Edit / Preferences / Register, click the Fonts button and try different fonts.
• Try adjusting the bank account registers' row height: go to Edit / Preferences / Register, choose among the available Row Height choices: Compact, Comfortable or Standard
• If all else fails, try changing Windows Control Panel / Display options for "Make text and other items … smaller or larger" to use a different scaling level.
