There's always a 1.4 cm cut off at the top and bottom of paper when printing. On the left and right it's 0.3 cm. I want the top and bottom to also be 0.3 cm. How can I set the printing margins?

Margin adjustments are usually done in your application. The limits posted by @Dragon-Fur appear to fall into your desired specs so the printer is capable but you need to setup your page properly. Below is the screen from Word 2019. Most programs will have a page layout button.
