How can I print a Simulink model to match a large paper size?

I am using a paper size larger than 8.5" by 11". When I attempt to print a Simulink model, I receive an erroneously sized printout. The correct paper is selected but the diagram is still scaled to 8.5x11, or, if using frames, the diagram is misplaced in the frames. This also occurs if I print the diagram to a PostScript file and then print the file. How do I print a Simulink model using a larger paper size?

The ability to print Simulink models on paper larger than 8.5" by 11" and use the entire paper size is not available in Simulink.

To work around this issue, you can manually change the PaperPosition property of the Simulink model to scale your print output to the figure with the following statement:

set_param(gcs, 'PaperPosition',[x y w h]')

Some computation needs to be done to obtain the correct values of x, y, w and h for your paper size to ensure that the model does not get clipped on the paper.
