Answer 1

You can't increase the font size with your printer. It does not have that option. You need to increase the size from source of which you are getting the data from before you print



Example: if you wanted to print a word document, you would go to the taskbar on the top and change the font settings prior to printing.



Or do this





Open up the what you want to print



Left click and highlight either part or the whole area you want printed



Right click the highlighted area and click print preview



Change the box "As laid out on screen" to "As selected on screen" doing this will let you print all or part depending on what is highlighted



In the box Shrink to fit, change it to increase or reduce the size font that you want to use



Click print, and go to Page Range, and make sure you add a dot to SELECT



Click print

There are a couple methods. You can choose a larger font pitch (generally "10" or "12" is used for a business letter). In some word processing programs, the pitch goes all the way to 72. Some printer drivers allow you to choose the print out size: 100% is normal WYSIWYG, and can go to 150%, or so. If you have a choice, use a larger pitch. The letters will have better resolution and less anti-aliasing.

Answer 3

Type the letters in a word document in the font you want and enlarge it as much as you can. One at a time, copy and paste the letters into a program like paint, which lets you edit pictures. Use the tool that looks like a box made of dashed lines to re-select the letters in paint. Paste them back into a word document, where they will now be considered images, and use the arrows on the outside to make them as big as you would like! ...Sounds complicated but it's really simple promise :)

Answer 4

Whatever software you are using, just select what you are wishing to print and look for something like "font size" and you will need to increase the font size.



P.S. You should be more specific with your question as to what software you are using or if it is an image you are trying to print.
