You get an error because the unit use for the DefaultPageSettings margins are hundredths of an inch (the default value is 100 which correspond to one inch). Feeding directly these values to Set Report Margins.vi the function will try to set the margins to 100 inches thus causing an error. You just have to divide the margin values by 100.
To select the paper size, in the the dialog box window click "properties" and in the properties window the click advanced ... In the advanced window you will be able to select the paper size.

Hello ben64,
Thank you for the reply i devide the margins on 100 as you said ( like that margins are represented on inchs! ). but i am having the same error and i think this time is coming from the paper size settings as you can see i am using in my report the printer settings and i connect each parameters with it specified block report ( margins , orientation, printer name ). but the paper size setting i did not find a block report to connect with, i only find the word report set papersize.vi and its not i guess the suitable report for that.
briefly my question is how to connect the paper size setting chosen on the printer box dialogue to it suitable report so that the configuration will be confirmed
Thank you
