Margin on printed document is different from document in Word and PDF

[Auds97]

Hello there guys,

I would like to ask for help regarding margin issues on printed documents.

I would like to print my thesis with specific margin according to my university thesis standard.

In Microsoft word and PDF, the margins are correct: top & bottom: 2.5 cm, inside & outside:3.25 cm, header from top:1.25 cm and footer from bottom: 1.25 cm.

However, when I printed the document whether through Microsoft Word, HP Smart and PDF, the margin didn't follow the specified values.

I have modified it to borderless printing, no scaling and really make sure the A4 paper fits well in the tray, but the problem still occurs.

Thanks.
