Fit to page iPhone printing

Hey, so I’ve been selling some bits online and the shipping labels are produced by the company, when I go to print them from the iPhone it’s defaulted printer settings is ‘fit to page’ so it comes out as a full a4 shipping label which won’t scan.


I’ve tried reducing paper size but then printer moans it’s not got right paper.


if I screenshot and print it’s still fit to page!


do I need an app to reduce the size or is there a setting? I can’t find anything,

iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 18

Hi mate, this is just standard how to print from iPhone- I don’t see anything you have done differently from what i would normally do if thats the case, it’s not what i am after. 


What im trying to do is reduce the size of the photo on the page. In your example, the photo is being printed to full page size - as evidenced in 4-11 the print preview. It shows its going to cover the full page. How do I get this to print on only half the page, or 1/4 of the page. 


It appears no matter the photo, the default setting is fit to page - thinking old school printing terms here. I’m trying to change this so it does not cover the full page without reducing the size of the paper in the printer.
