Make sure you are in the Home Panel. (It says INTERACTIVE CHART UTILITY - HOME PANEL at the top.) If you are not, press PF12.
Type in 5 for Heading, Legend And Layout. Press ENTER. Wait for the panel to change.
In the new panel, type in 4 for Chart Dimensions and press ENTER. Wait for the panel to change to Chart Dimensions.

This is the same panel that you used to change the chart margins.

The ICU assumes that you want to print or plot your chart on a piece of paper 8.5 inches wide by 11 inches deep (216 mm x 279 mm) and it will make your chart as large as possible inside this area. If your paper is not this size or you don't want your chart to take up the whole page, change the horizontal and vertical proportions.

If you don't know the paper size that you will be using, change the horizontal proportion to "*". Your chart will then be stretched to cover the paper and its shape will be different from that shown on the screen. Because this method stretches your chart, don't use it if your chart has notes or labels that are not horizontal.
