Problems with PageFooter !

edited November 2004 in FastReport 3.0
Hello, Friend!

I am having a problem in the adjustment of PageFooter, o that I can print a closer line of the end of the page with the numbering of the current page.

But unhappily I have to define PageFooter with height = 1,98 or larger, so that the printer can print some thing and if I marry me to alter that value for minor the printer it doesn't print PageFooter.

My report possesses the bands:
- PageHeader
- MasterData
- PageFooter

The configurations of the page of my reports are:
Size = A4 (210 x 297 mm)
Width = 21,00 cm
Height = 29,69 cm

The margins are:
Left = 0,50 cm
Right = 0,50 cm
Top = 0,50 cm
Bottom = 0

Definitions of my PageFooter:
Height=1,98
Left=0
Name=PageFooter1
ParentFont=True
PrintOnFirstPage=True
PrintOnLastPage=True
Restrictions=[]
Tag=0
Top=9,10
Visible=True
Width=20,00


Which will the problem be?
How can I correct this problem?

Thanks,

Dennys

* If I increase, more and more the height of PageFooter the impression will be OK!
* If I decrease, more and more the height (Height < 1,98) of PageFooter he won't be printed! 

For example, an impression result...

    I would expect the problem is that the bottom margin is 0 and is probably outside the printable area of the printers range.
    here is a simple test to try
    open designer select new delete any bands
    add a frame to the page set the frame width to 2 pix
    make sure report print if empty is true
    preview and print you should see the entire page frame on the printed page.
    if not margin settings are bad.
    Also you must be very carefull when you try to alter a page footer
    it is really IMHO a fixed position from the bottom of the page once the page has started to be produced.

    Hi, gordk

    Thank you for your answer!

    I made the example, but the problem continues...

    1??) I opened FastReport Designer.
    2??) I clicked in the New button.
    3??) All removed the bands.
    4??) In the property Frame of TfrxReportPage I added the frame with border = 2
    5??) I executed a preview and the borders appear perfectly, but after me to have printed paper the test page didn't come out the inferior border.
    The configurations of the page of my reports are:
    Size = A4 (210 x 297 mm)
    Width = 21,00 cm
    Height = 29,70 cm
    
    The margins are:
    Left = 1 cm
    Right = 1 cm
    Top = 1 cm
    Bottom = 1 cm
    
    Result of the paper printed: 
    
                    +------------------------------------------+
                    |                                          |
                    | +--------------------------------------+ |
                    | |                                      | |
                    | |                                      | |
                    | |                                      | |
                    | |                                      | |
                    | |                                      | |
                    | |                                      | |
                    | |                                      | |
                    | |                                      | |
                    | |                                      | |
                    | |                                      | |
                    | |                                      | |
                    | |                                      | |
                    | |                                      | |
                    | |                                      | |
                    | |                                      | |
                    | |                                      | |
                    | |                                      | |
                    | |                                      | |
                    | |                                      | |
                    | |                                      | |
    
    

    The same result printed paper is for the bottom margin = 0

    The layout of the page of my printer this:
    Size = A4 (210 x 297 mm)
    Width = 21,00 cm
    Height = 29,70 cm

    It will be a BUG of the version 3.05?

    Thanks,

    Dennys

    hi i can print it all using 0.5cm on all margins on a4 on canon i350
    check your printer docs for your printer your printable area may be smaller.
    and you would need larger margin setting
