Margins

[DrEvil]

Hi guys,
I trying to control margins on few of my Access reports, the bare minimum
can be set to .165 but I need to go lower that that, is there a way?
This has to do with printing 3 payment stubs on a perferated paper, equal
spacing, everything on the payment stub must be positioned exactly because of
scan line but margines throw me off and my 3 stub goes to next page.

Thank you

It may be that Access is being limited by your printer.

Do you have the same limits if you point the report to a different printer?

You are right, if I change printer and set it print to Adobe PDF then I can
set to 0 but once I print it using HP LaserJet 4250N printer margins are set
back to .166

The only way I got around it was going through the page setup and specifying
custome page (8.5 x 11.39) and it woriks just fine but once I send it to my
printer and I'm not using tray 1 then it pritner comes up with the message to
insert 8.5 x 11.39 page... if I use tray one and just use letter paper it
works without any messages but then I would need to use any tray...

Minimum margins is a physical limitation of the printer.
Many popular printers require as much as .7 inch.

Either modify your reports to fit within the limts or try to
find a printer that allows smaller margins.

You might want to remember to carefully check the specs
whenever you purchase a new printer or it could break your
reports..
