Q. What is the standard printer paper size?

Answer

A4 is the standard size used in many other countries measuring 297 mm by 210 mm. The three most common conventional paper sizes are Letter (8.5 x 11 inches) Legal (8.5 x 14 inches) and Tabloid (11 x 17 inches). Business and academic correspondence often adhere to the letter format. In contrast the dimensions of an ISO equivalent a sheet of A4 paper are 210 by 297 millimeters. When converted to inches that becomes a much less approachable figure: 8.27 x 11. 11-by-17-inch sheets of paper are sometimes known as ledger or tabloid size. Tablet paper is the name given to it when it is used in a portrait orientation whereas ledger paper is the name given to it when it is used in a landscape configuration.
