Print an invoice that fits one A4 page
A4 is the most common office paper size, and also the one where invoices most often come out wrong: content spills onto a second page, or the last row gets cut off along with the total. This page is about printing so it fits on exactly one page.

Why invoices get cut off when printing on A4
- The content is longer than one page, so the total is pushed onto the next page
- The browser scales down or adds its own margins, shifting the table off centre
- The invoice was designed for another size (A5, thermal roll) so it does not suit A4
- There is no preview, so you only find out it is off after using the paper
Built for A4, with a preview before you print
The preview is rendered at true A4 proportions, so what you see on screen is what comes out on paper. When you print, you only need to pick A4 and 100% scale, and the invoice sits within a single page.
Why it helps
- The invoice fits one A4 page and does not spill onto a second
- The item table keeps its columns aligned even with long product names
- The total and the amount in words stay on the same page as the table
- The preview matches the printed output, so you do not print to check

Frequently asked questions
How do I stop the invoice spilling onto a second page?
Keep the number of item rows within what fits one page. In your browser's print dialog, choose A4, set scale to 100%, and turn off any automatic margin or scale adjustment. The preview is already rendered at A4 proportions, so you can check before printing.
Which paper size and scale should I choose?
Choose A4 and 100%. A smaller scale shrinks the text and shifts the table off centre. Choosing a different size such as Letter pushes content down, because Letter is shorter than A4.
The total row was cut off when printed, what should I do?
This is usually because the content is longer than one page, not a printing fault. Shorten the item names or use fewer rows, then check the preview again before printing.
