Use this field to specify the amount of white space from the edge of the page to the report body. Enter a number (in inches or centimeters) up to two decimal places such as, .25 (1/4 inch) or .635 (1/4 centimeter) which specifies to start printing the report body a quarter inch from the edge of the paper.

Note Do not use the minus (-) sign before the number such as, -.25. A negative number prints the edge of the report body off the page.
