Observant documents that are designed to be printed as single sheet reference material typically have 'OBS-MKT-' or 'OBS-USR-' document ID prefixes. (MKT for marketing materials, USR for user data.) The '-LTR' and '-A4' suffixes relate to paper sizes. LTR, Letter format, (used in North America) is designed to be printed on 8.5" x 11" paper. A4 is an international, metric, ISO standard and is 210 mm x 297 mm (8.27" x 11.7"). When printing documents, be sure to select the proper format.
