How to Adjust Artwork Size on Your GoPrinter Using Encoder Dividation and Proportional Scaling

Want to print your artwork taller, shorter, or just better scaled on your handheld GoPrinter? Whether you’re trying to fit a label perfectly or make sure your logo doesn’t get stretched, the GoPrinter offers two precise ways to resize your print: Encoder Division and Proportional Scaling.

This quick guide explains both methods to help you get the perfect print size every time.

Method 1: Adjust Width Using Encoder Dividation

Encoder dividation lets you manually control the print width while keeping the height the same.

Switch on your GoPrinter and go to the Print screen.
Tap Print Set and make sure Encoder Mode is ON.
Look for the Encoder Division setting (default is 3).
To shrink the width, lower the number (e.g. 1). For longer prints, raise it above 3.
Tap OK and return to print. You’ll see your artwork height stays the same, but the width changes based on your new setting.

This is perfect when you want your artwork smaller horizontally without affecting its height.

Method 2: Resize Artwork Proportionally (Both Width & Height)

Want to make the artwork smaller overall while keeping it proportional? This method prevents distortion of logos or text:

Go to the Edit screen.
Select your artwork by tapping it.
Use the A+ / A− buttons at the top center to increase or decrease size proportionally.
This resizes both height and width equally, maintaining your artwork’s original aspect ratio.
