Your post did not capture your Printer Model and Operating System/version.

-- Based on what we know --

There can be more than one reason for this result.

The simplest explanation --

Perhaps you are using a DeskJet printer.

Next,

Certain printing applications might impact how the margins are created in the output (printed paper).

HP Smart / HP App, for example, use a couple of methods to fit photos to the shape of the paper --

1. Crop fits the shape of an image to the paper and might sacrifice part of the content.
2. Fit retains the entire original content shape and can leave gaps at one or more sides.

Perhaps tell us more about what you are doing --

For example,

Tell us about a job you are printing:  paper, size, content type, orientation, program or app,

Printer - DeskJet Margins, Borderless, Duplex Printing

The following is relevant to using a DeskJet Printer, even the model that includes the ADF (Automatic Document Feeder).

Reminder

At this writing, DeskJet printers require a larger margin along the bottom edge --

12.7mm (1/2 inch)

Duplex Print Options

Manual (driver support provided)

and

Borderless Printing

No

Print Margin Bottom (A4)	12.7 mm
Print Margin Left (A4)	3 mm
Print Margin Right (A4)	3 mm
Print Margin Top (A4)	3 mm

The margin limitation is mechanical.

There is no software, firmware, or alignment that changes the larger margin requirement.

The general solution to prevent chopped content is to keep all data inside of 12.7mm (1/2 inch) on the bottom edge, including all page numbers, footer information, or other notations.

Example,

Try setting your Word margins to no smaller than "Narrow"   12.7mm Metric  / 1/2 inch Imperial
