scaling text while printing on large formats

Question

I was trying to print out a pretty large yEd graph (~560 nodes) on A0 format. It worked out so far, however the text labels didn't scale, i.e. weren't readable on the A0 print out. I only saw a huge net list like a spider web on A0 with tiny little text boxes. Is there a way to scale the whole graph to e.g. A0 and all text labeles are human readable afterwards?

When printing on large paper formats the settings available from "File" -> "Print Preview", "Settings" determine how the diagram is scaled. If you set "Clip Area" to "Entire Graph" and "Scaling" to "Automatic", your diagram will be scaled to fit the available paper size. Moreover, yEd will always scale all elements of your diagram including text labels.
