For example, a printer set to print at 600 dpi on 8.5"x11" paper, that cannot print on the topmost 0.5" of paper, has a vertical physical offset of 300 device units.

Windows CE 1.0 and 1.01 do not support this value.

PHYSICALWIDTH

For printing devices: the width of the physical page, in device units.

For example, a printer set to print at 600 dpi on 8.5"x11" paper has a physical width value of 5100 device units.
