How big are the inserts for your planner? Get out a ruler or measuring tape and find out the length x width of your planner inserts. Write it down somewhere you’ll remember (hint: somewhere in your planner).
Here is a chart of common planner inserts, their sizes, and the percent you need to print letter size pintables at.

How To Set Scaling (Reduce) PLANNER SIZE PRINTS From letter size
Scaling reduces or enlarges the original document to match the selected output paper size.
- In the Printer Properties window, select Printing Options.
- Click on the Paper, and then select Other Size > Advanced Paper Size > Scaling Options.
- Select an option:
- No Scaling | This option does not change the size of the printed image. The image measurement 100% appears in the percentage box. If the original document size is larger than the output size, the printer crops the image. If the original document size is smaller than the output size, extra space appears around the image.
- Automatically Scale | This option scales the document to fit the selected Output Paper Size. The scaling amount appears in the percentage box for the sample image.
- Manually Scale | This option scales the document by the amount entered in the percentage box for the preview image.
- Click OK.

* When printing a TN, type in the percent. Then, select landscape. This will give you the needed white space needed to fold the insert to fit inside your TN.
** For the A4, if you are printing on letter size paper (which most people are), then just print a standard letter size sheet. The insert will be slightly smaller than an A4 planner. If you have an A4 sheet/printer capable of printing on A4, select A4.
