When you print a banner from Microsoft Publisher to a tractor-feed
printer that prints on continuous fan-fold paper, you may receive unwanted gaps
(margins) between the pages. This occurs even if you set the Tile overlap in
Publisher to zero.
Many dot-matrix printer drivers enforce a minimum
margin at the top and bottom of each page. This default margin produces a gap
in the banner even if the Tile overlap is set to 0. Some printer drivers allow
you to control the margin in the Windows Control Panel. Check the Control
Panel, or call your printer manufacturer to determine whether you can control
the margin.
Panasonic technical support has confirmed that Panasonic
dot-matrix drivers such as the KX-P2123 force a minimum margin at the top and
bottom of each page and that there is no way to suppress that margin.
If you have been able to print to the edge of the page from your
printer before, there are three possible reasons why it worked:
- You were printing from MS-DOS using an MS-DOS printer
driver, which is different from the Windows driver used by Publisher.
- You were printing from a Windows-based application that has
special code to cancel the forced margin. Some graphics programs have such a
feature.
- You were using a driver that allowed you to set margins to
zero.
The Panasonic products discussed here are manufactured by
Panasonic, a vendor independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or
otherwise, regarding these products' performance or reliability.
