| exPaperSize | 0 |
The exPaperSize property gets or sets the size of the paper on which the document
will be printed. The exFormName property gets the name of the paper form or size that the printer
uses. This property must be assigned one of the predefined values
from the available list of standard paper sizes to ensure correct formatting and
output.
For instance,
Just because a value exists in the Windows API does not mean your printer driver supports it. Always check supported paper sizes via the printer capabilities.

| exPaperSource | 1 |
The exPaperSource property gets or sets the paper source. The member accepts one of the following predefined values:
For instance,
(long expression) | |||
| exPageOrientation | 2 |
The exPageOrientation property gets or sets the direction in which the content is printed on the page. It determines whether the page is taller than it is wide (portrait) or wider than it is tall (landscape). The PageOrientation property is equivalent of Settings(exPageOrientation) option.

(long expression) | |||
| exPrinterName | 3 |
The exPrinterName property gets or sets the user-friendly name of the selected printer or display device. For example, it may return a name like "Xerox WorkCentre 3025" for a compatible Xerox printer. This name uniquely identifies the printer among all installed device drivers on the system. To obtain a list of all available printers, use the Printers property. Important: If you intend to change the selected printer by setting exPrinterName, you must do so before configuring any other printer-related settings. Otherwise, the new printer settings may not take effect correctly. For instance,
(string expression) | |||
| exPrinterCopies | 4 |
The exPrinterCopies property gets or sets how many copies of the document will be printed, provided that the printer supports printing multiple copies in a single job.
For instance,
(long expression) | |||
| exPrintQuality | 5 |
The exPrintQuality property gets or sets the printer resolution. It supports four predefined device-independent values, each corresponding to a specific print quality level:
Alternatively, if a positive value is specified, it indicates the number of dots per inch (DPI) for the printer, which depends on the device's capabilities and may vary between printers. For instance:
(long expression) | |||
| exLeftMargin | 6 |
The exLeftMargin property gets or sets the width of the left margin. The unit of measurement depends on the value of the exDisplayInch property:
This property allows for precise control over page layout. For example, a setting of 1500 indicates a left margin of 1.5 inches when measured in thousandths of inches. For instance:
(long expression) | |||
| exTopMargin | 7 |
The exTopMargin property gets or sets the heigh of the top margin. The unit of measurement depends on the value of the exDisplayInch property:
This setting defines the amount of space between the top edge of the paper and the start of the printable content. For example, a value of 1500 corresponds to a 1.5-inch top margin when using thousandths of inches. For instance:
(long expression) | |||
| exRightMargin | 8 |
The exRightMargin property gets or sets the width of the right margin. The unit of measurement is determined by the value of the exDisplayInch property:
This setting provides control over the right margin of the printed page. For example, a value of 1500 specifies a right margin of 1.5 inches when using thousandths of inches as the unit. For instance:
(long expression) | |||
| exBottomMargin | 9 |
The exBottomMargin property gets or sets the height of the bottom margin. The unit of measurement is determined by the exDisplayInch property:
This setting defines the distance between the bottom edge of the paper and the end of the printable area. For example, a value of 2000 indicates a 2.0-inch bottom margin when using thousandths of inches. For instance:
(long expression) | |||
| exDisplayInch | 10 |
The exDisplayInch property determines the unit of measurement used for margins and paper size in the print dialog. It must be set before any other printing-related settings, or it will have no effect. By default, the value is 0, which means measurements are specified in thousandths of inches. If set to 1, measurements are specified in millimeters. Valid values include:
For instance:
(long expression) | |||
| exFormName | 11 |
The exFormName property gets the name of the paper form or size that the printer should use. You can use the exPaperSize property to configure the size of the paper on which the document will be printed. This value is a string that must match a form name supported by the printer driver, such as "A4", "Letter", or a custom-defined form.
(string expression) | |||
| exPaperWidth | 12 |
The exPaperWidth property defines the total width of the paper. The unit of measurement is determined by the exDisplayInch property:
To find out the width of the printable area within the page margins, use the ClientWidth property. (long expression) | |||
| exPaperHeight | 13 |
The
exPaperHeight property defines the total height of the paper. The unit of measurement is determined by the exDisplayInch property:
The ClientHeight property provides the height of the printable area on the page. (long expression) | |||
| exAllFields | 256 |
The exAllFields property allows you to get or set the values for all printer-related settings at once. By using the Settings(exAllFields) property, you can save the current configuration of the printer, including paper size, orientation, margins, and other options, and later restore these exact settings. This makes it easier to manage printer configurations without handling each setting individually, ensuring consistency when printing across different sessions or documents. The exAllFields property may return a string similar to:
