10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the magnification ratio corresponds to an N-up printing feature.
9. A method for enforcing a user specified minimum font size (USMFS) in a hardcopy document (HD), comprising: receiving, by a printer, a print job identifying a magnification ratio and comprising a plurality of page descriptor language (PDL) commands corresponding to an electronic document (ED); identifying, by the printer and within the plurality of PDL commands, a first character in the ED having a first font size smaller than a quotient of the USMFS divided by the magnification ratio, a second character in the ED having a second font size exceeding the quotient, and a third character in the ED having a third font size; calculating, by the printer, a scale factor by dividing the quotient by the first font size; replacing, by the printer and within the plurality of PDL commands, the third font size with a product of the third font size and the scale factor; replacing, by the printer and within the plurality of PDL commands, the first font size with the quotient of the USMFS divided by the magnification ratio, wherein the first font size is smaller than the quotient; and generating, by the printer and based on the plurality of PDL commands, the HD by scaling the ED by the magnification ratio after replacing the first font size with the quotient and the third font size with the product, wherein the HD comprises the first character in the USMFS and the second character in the second font size scaled by the magnification ratio.
