    Help! Scaling issue

    Hello all. I have been using my trotec speedy 300 for a month, with no issues. All of a sudden it seems to be scaling down the files i send it. Corel looks like it is sending the file 1 to 1, but it cuts it out at like .8 to 1. Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance and thank for the help you have been giving every body in the community.

    Regards,

    Hi Tom, my guess is that your page size in Corel isn't matching the page size in the settings for the print driver. When you hit "print" and "preferences", the dimensions at the top right. I forgot what it's called. But if that page size doesn't match exactly, it can cause exactly what you're describing.
