Documents scaling differently from settings

[mike.atkinson]

I built a form letter in Jaspersoft. The Page properties are set to LETTER   (Edit Page Format : Format = LETTER, Width = 612, Height = 792, Orienration Portrait, Margins 50-40-40-40) .Over the past several mornings, I've printed the letter set and everything is fine.

I've been working on a different letter, but overall, the same type of letter, with the same settings. 

When I print on US Letter the size of the document is scaled smaller. 

The settings are all the same, but the print image has about 2 inches of extra page on the right side of the page, and about 2.5 inches on the bottom of the page. The Top and Left Margins look correct. And all the text is present, but scaled down in size.

<jasperReport xmlns="http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/jasperreports" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/jasperreports http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/xsd/jasperreport.xsd" name="Paid Loan Letters" pageWidth="612" pageHeight="792" whenNoDataType="AllSectionsNoDetail" columnWidth="532" leftMargin="40" rightMargin="40" topMargin="50" bottomMargin="40" isSummaryWithPageHeaderAndFooter="true" uuid="ed892360-21a1-4f67-be2a-545056b811e3">

 

I thought it might be an object I placed on the New report. but all these types of reports now present exactly the same ... the letter text is scaled down. I have even tried a new form letter with just a name and address on it. Same Result,.

 

Suggestions where else I can check ? 

Thanks,

If I export the documents as PDF ... and print. The documents are sized as expected.

Is there any additional issue here? Typically you export to a specific format to print the report.

We print from our core application.

We do not normally export to a format x and then print. 

We would normally wish to avoid the extra steps.
