The actual printing or output area is displayed here.
The displayed size represents the print size after the print margins have

cannot be performed). If "Roll Paper" has been specified for "Paper
Source", this parameter is displayed in gray and the margins are a fixed
size.

If "Cut Sheet" was selected for the paper source, select either "Narrow" or
"Wide".

orientation.
