Default 3/32"=1'-0"

Yep, so my plan with doing my lightplot is to scan in the architectural drawings I have (done), and throw them into VW (done). I was going to guesstimate positions, until I got some more accurate measurements.

The issue I've having now pertains to the scale. I'm in the scale selection area, and it doesn't look to me like I can input 1'0"=3/32". I'm not sure why *Blank* Consultants chose a 3/32" scale, but they did. I'm staring now at the "Paper Scale" section, as I feel like my answer must lie in that, but I'm not exactly sure how to proceed from there.

Another question:

The blackbox that is default in a new file is the "printable area" right? So my entire plot has to fit into that? What vexes me is that it is square, not 8.5"x11, or something with similar proportions.

I'll continue to hunt through my tutorials for answers, but hopefully you guys can lend a hand.
