The frame on this page should be
  $24{,}6501778{\rm cm} \times 15{,}9424103 {\rm cm}
     =  9{,}7047944'' \times 6{,}2765395''$.  When
printed on A4 paper, the frame should be one
inch from each edge of the paper.\\[10pt]
The rulers at the four edges will indicate how much of the page is
useable.  The large ticks are $.1''$ apart.
