to note

•

A paper size is considered equal in size to another paper size
if neither dimension differs by more than 15/600 of an inch.

•

Use this command to print on paper larger than the specified
paper size. Data may be lost if the paper size is smaller than
the image size.

•

Note that A4 paper is treated as smaller than 8.5 by 11 inch
paper because it is narrower.

•

Regardless of the parameter selected, if an exact match in
paper size is found, the matching tray is used. The
parameters differ only when no match is found.
