How Do I Permanently Enlarge Printed Text?

If you can't read printed text on a document, you can make it as large as you wish with a copier. Nearly all copiers offer enlarging functions that make text much easier to read. Increasing the size of the text will increase the size of the document, but it will also ensure that it is easier to read. The location of enlarging feature on the copier menu varies depending on the machine's manufacturer, but after you locate it, this is an easy task to complete.
