I assume this has to do with printers or printing.
Page orientation is whether the bottom of the print is the long side of the paper or the short side of the paper.
Where the bottom is the short side (for 8.5 by 11 inch paper, it is the 8.5 inch side, like business letters) it is called "portrait" orientation.
Where the bottom is the long side (the 11 inch side, like some posters or signs) it is called "landscape" orientation.
A printer is just asking which way do you want to print something, portrait or landscape orientation.
The terms refer to the standard or ordinary orientations of paintings or photographs. Portraits, images of people, are usually presented with the width shorter than the height. Typically, landscapes are wider than they are high.
