The 3912, 3916, and 4028 printers have a no-print border. In this area, about 1/6 inch from all edges of the page, data will not print.
If the 3912, 3916, or 4028 is configured AFP(*NO), you might have to adjust your application programs. For example, if your application program prints text in the top 1/6 inch or left 1/6 inch, that text will not appear on the page.
If the 4028 is configured AFP(*YES), 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.
To print as close to the edge of the page as possible:
This positions the starting origin of the page to the edge of the printable area.
