3835 printer considerations

The 3835 Model 1 printer has a no-print border. In this area, about 1/6 inch from all edges of the page, data will not print.

The iSeries™ server adjusts the positioning of the printed text on the page to compensate for the no-print border. For example, if your application program prints text in the top 1/6 inch or left 1/6 inch, all the text will print. The iSeries server adjusts the starting printing position to 1/6 inch from the top and left of the page causing all printed data on the page to be shifted to the right and down by 1/6 inch. If your application relies on printing data at a certain point on the paper, you might have to change your application to compensate for this adjustment or use the margin values of 0 on the printer file.

Note:

The 3835 Model 2 does not have a no-print border. The iSeries server does not adjust the position of printed text for this printer. When directing output from printing on a 3835 Model 1 to a Model 2, the difference in how the no-print border is used must be considered.
