		<Paragraph class="Default">Enterprise Server enables you to link multiple paper types to each Windows Printer device. You can link each paper type to a Windows paper size code. The Windows printing process uses this code to select the correct setting for the printer.</Paragraph>

		<Paragraph class="Default">When you select a Windows printer device in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tt/stp/ttstpsplopen" role="session">Select Device (ttstpsplopen )</GUIRef> session, the session checks whether the report fits on the default paper type of the selected printer device. If the report does not fit, the session automatically suggests another paper type that is large enough.</Paragraph>
