Fit to paper: The scale of the drawing will be calculated automatically, to include the selected area to print inside the printable zone (as defined within the properties window of the printer driver)

Scale: You can select from the available predefined scales (1:1 to 1:2000) or set a personal scale, by chosing the option "Custom" in the list..

DPI: These two fields define the printing quality specified in the properties of the printer. When printing images to a raster file this is important to set.
