Width and height controls
The width and height values can be changed either by typing numeric strings into the edit boxes or by
selecting the up and down arrows.
Any entry that is greater than the maximum limits of the width and height control is rounded down to the
maximum valid entry, while any entry that is smaller than the minimum limits of the width and height
control is rounded up to the minimum valid entry. See the
Custom width and height control limits section
of this guide.
If units are in millimeters, then the custom paper-size range minimum is the limit rounded up to the
nearest whole millimeter. The custom paper-size range maximum is the limit rounded down to the
nearest whole millimeter. Any non-numerical entry reverts to the last valid entry. Width and height entries
are validated when the focus has changed.
The resolution of each control is one millimeter or one-tenth of an inch, depending upon the current
measurement units. Clicking the up and down arrows increases or decreases the current value by the
increment amount (within the allowed range of values). The computer determines the rate at which the
values change.
Unit indicator labels change dynamically to indicate inches or millimeters, depending upon the
measurement units the driver is currently using. To change measurement units, click the Measurement
Units button.

Measurement Units button

the measurement-units button changes. Use it to toggle the unit of measurement between standard
(inches) and metric (millimeters) units of measurement. The button titles are:
