RE: Laser printer question

Pain, isn't it?

Unfortunately, in the most part Laser Printers and Inkjet printers will not
print very close to the edge of the page.

The reason you were able to do it on an old line printer is line printers
were designed, for the most part, to print 132 columns.  so printing in
columns 81 and 82 weren't a problem.

So what's the solution?  Unfortunately, it's redesign your form, or switch
to 12 cpi and try to squeeze them in.

V4R5M0 - one cum back

I am converting the BPCS A/R statement print program from using an old 5262
line printer continuous form to an HP5SiNX sheet feed network printer.  The
problem I am having is the report is 84 characters wide but the maximum
width I can get at 10 CPI is 80 characters.  No matter what I do, I cannot
print on the first two or last two positions next to each margin.  Is there
some setup that I am missing?  Also, I have full client server BPCS which
means I have no CL I can change to do an ovrprtf to a new CPI value.  I've
played with ASSET & changed the CPI value when creating the DDS source
program & also when compiling it but it seems to have no effect.

Am I missing something?

Thanks - Dennis.
