RE: Printer Margins

Well, I THOUGHT I could figure this out.  My problem now is the right margin
is preventing 3 characters from printing.  As with the left, it needs to be
reduced from a 1/2 inch to 1/16 of an inch.  I have adjusted the NOPRTBDR to
the correct values but it will not change the right margin.

In order for the left margin NOPRTBDR to work, I had to adjust the INITPRT
value to

  :INITPRT
    DATA ='1B451B266C31323055'X.

as instructed in the link below.

The original DATA value was '1B45'X.

I hate to give up on this when I'm so close.  Anyone know if I need to make
another adjustment on the INITPRT for the right margin setting to work?

Bill and Bryan:

Thank you!!! This helped immensely.  I was able to set my margins and
everything is printing where it should.  Its still truncating the last three
characters on the right border but I sure with the info you have supplied, I
will figure it out.

Thanks again!
