This is loose-leaf notebook paper as it comes out of a pack: light blue rules, a red vertical margin an inch and a quarter from the left edge, and a Name and Date header across the top. College ruling sets the lines 9/32 of an inch apart and fits 36 lines on a US Letter page; wide ruling sets them 11/32 apart for 30 lines and larger handwriting. Both measurements are the US school standards, taken from the real inch.
The holes option is what makes it usable in a binder. Turn it on and the sheet shows the three standard punch positions: circles 5/16 of an inch across, centred half an inch from the left edge and spaced exactly 4.25 inches apart, which is the US three-ring standard. Punch through the marks and the sheet goes into any binder squarely. Turn the option off for a clean page to staple or scan.
Use it when the printer is there and the notebook is not: handouts that students write on, extra pages for a binder, practice paper for an essay draft, or lined paper that matches the rest of a folder. The ruling runs edge to edge the way machine-ruled paper does, and the red margin gives the usual place for dates, question numbers and corrections. There is nothing to type into — this is paper for a pen.
