Usage Guidelines

• The medium must contain this value if AIX actual destinations use the medium.
• The piobe backend uses the value of this attribute to determine the printable area of the medium.
• How you specify the dimensions depends on the printer model and how the medium is loaded. If you get unexpected output from a printer device, try reversing the order in which you specify the dimensions for a medium that the actual destination references.
