box. You can also view details about the name and location of the device, and
change the device's configuration.
The printer or plotter you select in the Page Setup dialog box determines the
printable area of the layout. This printable area is indicated by the dashed line
in the layout. If you change the paper size or the printing or plotting device,
it may change the printable area of your drawing page.
