A3 is 29.7 cm x 42 cm / 11.75 in x 16.5 in, but it would be a good idea to cater for 'bleed', so make it 12.25 in x 17 in.
Your print service will probably want the image(s) at 300ppi, so your render settings would have to be 3675 pixels x 5100 pixels.
That's quite large, so let me suggest that you render at 200ppi instead (2450 pixels x 3400 pixels). Then open the render in Photoshop (or similar), interpolate the image up to 300ppi, and apply modest unsharp masking. The reasons why this will be OK would form a short essay, so just go with me on this.
You can set this up easily in Render > Render Dimensions, and Poser will mask the working area to show you what's in and what's out (see pic).
You should also find out if the printer wants images in RGB or CMYK - if the latter, make the conversion in Photoshop / your image editing app.
