== Description ==
<pre>
The first argument selects the area for typesetting and the second (optional)
argument the papersize for printing.
options:oversized adds 1,5 cm on each sidedoublesized doubles The first argument of {{cmd|setuppapersize}} is the heightdoubleoversized doubles the height and adds 1,5 cm on each side</pre>== comment ==dimension a page will have. The second argument is A4 by default (it would be better to use the same as size of the paper the first argument for default value, but now it cannot pages will be changed back printed on; see {{cmd|setuparranging}} for compatibility reasons)placing multiple pages on a sheet. This means that you always have to provide If the second argument if you want some othe is omitted, the paper size than A4is assumed to equal the page sizeFor example if you want a landscape document, make sure to say landscape in both arguments:
For example:
<texcode>
\setuppapersize[A4letter,landscape][A4letter,landscape,oversized]
</texcode>
To sets the size of the pages to letter size (landscape), and the size of the paper (before cutting) to oversized letter size, which has edges that are 1.5 cm longer. <tt>letter</tt> is a pre-defined papersize; one can define your one's own paper size see [[papersizes using {{cmd:|definepapersize]]}}.
There are several options one can use to modify a predefined paper size:
* <tt>portrait</tt>: the default paper sizes are 'standing up', taller than they are wide.
* <tt>landscape</tt>: turn the paper 90 degrees so it is lying down
* <tt>samesized</tt>: same size as the first argument
* <tt>oversized</tt>: adds 1.5 cm to each edge
* <tt>undersized</tt>: subtracts 1.5 cm from each edge
* <tt>doublesized</tt>: doubles the width
* <tt>doubleoversized</tt>: doubles the width and adds 1.5 cm to each edge
 
There are quite a few pre-defined paper sizes:
