You might want to test some parameters for the top margin, perhaps from 0 up to .5. If all else fails, try flipping it 180 degrees…I’ve had to do that to fix an oddball printer before…and then everything lined up right! :)

and then everything lined up right! :)

Are you talking about FRONTMGN,& BACKMGN ?

any ways i have tried flipping but it does not work.
FRONTMGN,& BACKMGN also does not make any difference .

Each printer has built in margins. ON SOME printers you can adjust with:
EDGE to EDGE , Fulll page , whole page , fit to page type settings
via a menu on the printer. You might try to adjust it and see if it helps.
You also have to consider if that type adjustment is made how will it effect other reports. If printer has IPDS card margin adjustments can be made for each tray on the printer.

Any SKIPB or SKIPA entries at the format level?

Yes, those were the options I had in mind. Is the printer set up with the proper MFRTYPMDL from IBM?

Review the Customizing printer information topic in the Information Center for some background. Look at the ‘No-print Border (NOPRTBDR) tag’ sub-topic for one potential direction.

As has been mentioned, printers are often set up with an “unprintable border”. You might need to change the configuration on the printer itself. The user manuals that came with the printer should describe what you might have to do.
