Printing on A4 Paper
====================

  You can tell TeX to format a document for printing on European size
A4 paper (or A5) with the `@afourpaper' (or `@afivepaper') command.
Write the command on a line by itself near the beginning of the Texinfo
file, before the title page.  For example, this is how you would write
the header for this manual:

     \input texinfo    @c -*-texinfo-*-
     @c %**start of header
     @setfilename texinfo
     @settitle Texinfo
     @afourpaper
     @c %**end of header

  Note: Format with texi2dvi, and Note: Preparing for TeX,
 for other ways to format for different paper sizes that do not
require changing the source file.

  You may or may not prefer the formatting that results from the command
`@afourlatex'.  There's also `@afourwide' for A4 paper in wide format.
