This article was previously published under Q67503

SUMMARY

In Microsoft Windows Notepad version 3.0, if you choose Page Setup from the File menu and set Top Margin to 0 (zero), the first two lines print on top of each other or overlap. This problem affects the following Hewlett- Packard (HP) printers:

HP LaserJet Series II
HP LaserJet Series IIP
HP LaserJet Series IID
HP LaserJet Series III

This problem occurs because you are attempting to print outside the areas where the printer is capable of printing.

MORE INFORMATION

Most HP LaserJet Series printers can print no closer than .25 inch from the page margins. To correct the problem, set Top Margin to .25 inch or greater.

NOTE: Most PostScript printers exclude the first line and start printing with the second line.
