Solution

If you find that the units of measurement used by Print Studio Pro are incorrect (using millimeters instead of inches or vice versa), this can be changed by making an adjustment in the Region settings on your Windows PC.  Follow the steps below to make this change.
  1. Open the Control Panel on your Windows PC:

    In Windows XP, Vista, and 7, click the Start button --> Control Panel.

    (In Windows Vista, click Classic View in the Control Panel window.)

    In Windows 8 and 8.1, right click the Start button --> Control Panel.  When the Control Panel opens, change the view to Small icons or Large icons.

    In Windows 10, right click the Start button.  Click Run.  In the Run window, type control panel and click OK.  When the Control Panel opens, change the view to Small icons or Large icons.
     
  2. Open the Region settings:

    In Windows XP, click Clock, Language, and Region, and then click Regional and Language Options. 

    In Windows Vista, double click on Regional and Language Options.

    In Windows 7, 8 / 8.1, and 10, click Region.
     
  3. When the Region window opens, click the following button in the Formats tab:

    Windows XP / Windows Vista: Customize this format

    Windows 8 / 8.1 / 10: Additional settings...


     
  4. In the Formats tab, click on the Measurement system: drop down menu.  Select the measurement system you want to use.  Then, click Apply and OK.


     
  5. You will be back at the previous window.  Click Apply and OK.
     
  6. Launch Print Studio Pro again.  The correct unit of measurement will now be displayed.
