   By default, the standard height is set to 10 inches for an A4 paper. If your invoice requires only half the size, change the height to 5 inches. If your printer’s tray contains A4 size papers, replace them with papers appropriate for printing. For example, to print an invoice of a height of 5 inches, use A5 size papers.

      This option appears only when:
