NOTE: If units are in millimeters, the custom paper size range minimum
is the limit rounded up to the nearest whole millimeter. Custom
paper size range maximum is the limit rounded down to the
nearest whole millimeter. Any non-numerical entry will revert to
the last valid entry. Width and Height entries are validated when
the focus has changed.
The resolution of each control is one tenth of an inch or one millimeter, depending on the
current measurement units. Clicking the up and down arrows increments or decrements
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 in. or mm., depending on the
measurement units the driver is currently using. To change measurement units, click the
Measurement Units Button.

Imageable area
The imageable area for custom paper sizes specifies how much space around the outer
edge of the page cannot be printed on because of the printer's hardware restrictions. The
hardware margins for custom paper are 100 pixels (at 600 dpi) from each edge, or 1/6
inch.
Icons
The paper and envelope icons visually define Width and Height.
