How to print a worksheet at the right size
Why worksheets come out cropped or tiny, and the three print settings that fix almost every case.
Almost every “the worksheet is cut off” email describes a print dialog setting rather than a broken page. Printers are eager to help by scaling content, and that help is usually wrong for a worksheet with fixed margins.
1. Set scale to 100%
Chrome and Edge label this “Scale: Default” or “Custom 100”. Firefox calls it “Scale: 100%”. If “Fit to printable area” or “Shrink to fit” is selected, the page will be resized to whatever the printer thinks fits, and the bottom margin can disappear.
2. Choose the same paper size as the sheet
Beesheet supports Letter and A4. If the sheet says Letter and the printer is loaded with A4, the printer will either shrink the page or crop the right edge. Match the paper setting in the maker to the paper in the tray.
3. Turn off headers and footers
Browser headers add a date, page title and URL. They are not part of the worksheet, and they push the content down. In Chrome, open “More settings” and uncheck “Headers and footers”.
If you need a digital copy
Choose “Save as PDF” instead of a printer. The same scale rules apply. A PDF at 100% is the most reliable way to send a sheet to a colleague or upload it to a learning platform.
Check before you print 25 copies
Print one page, hold it against the screen preview, and check the bottom question. If the last item is missing, the scale is almost certainly above 100%.
