What does it mean? Every printer defines an area where it puts ink. This is printable area. In most cases this area is less then sheet sizes. The difference between printable area and sheet sizes has standard values for every specific printer.
For instance, there is a drawing with bounding rectangle scaled 1:1 in reference to the sheet's extents. If Use paper offset is on, this file will be fitted in the bounds of printable area. Thus the image will be distorted. If Use paper offset is off, this file will be fitted in the bounds of the sheet sizes and the image will be printed precisely.
This drop down list specifies a predefined offsets of the drawing (image) of the printer's printable area.
