# PAPERSIZE

> [HTML Version](papersize_pd.htm)

**//PAPERSIZE,<size>**

The <size> parameter may either be one of the symbolic names, or the equivalent numeric value. For example, the following two are equivalent.

//PAPERSIZE,LEGAL

//PAPERSIZE,5

One way to get the numeric equivalents is to activate the LP trace and print a file containing any PAPERSIZE directive; this will cause all the supported paper size names (and numbers) to be listed in the log or debug window. 

PAPERSIZE is one of the GDI printing directives with a [Printer ini file Equivalent](printerinitfileequivalent.htm.md).
