I am using Fanfold Paper with tractor feed. a New user
defined size in Server content of Printer -> File -> Server
content. And I set the margin to 0.00 cm.

.. . . and . . . while I'm waiting for the answers to my previous five questions(!) exactly what values did you enter into the boxes when you did the above? I seem to recall you telling me that your "paper size" was 22cm wide. Do you mean that you entered the value 22 into the width box and the value zero into the left and right margins boxes when you did the above? I hope you realise that printers generally have a maximum width that they will print at (even modern borderless printers, which yours is not) and you cannot simply exceed that width by arbitrarily setting values for paper width and for margins for a new form (as you have done above). As far as I am aware (although I've never used one myself) the Panasonic KX-P1121 is a fairly bog standard 24 pin impact dot matric printer with a normal paper tray and a tractor feed, similar to the the Citizen Swift 24 printers I have used myself in the past. If that is the case then it can accommodate paper up to about 10 inches wide but it can print only 8 inches width of actual printout (fairly standard stuff for most normal size impact dot matrix printers). 8 inches is of course 20.32cm and you simply cannot "tell it" to print 22cm by creating a new form for it and by setting that form to a width of 22cm with zero margins. It just doesn't work like that in the real world. Unless there is something special about a KX-P1121 which I do not know about (having never actually used one) then you get a maximum printable width of 20.32 cm no matter what you do, and you simply cannot get a printout which exceeds that value. This of course may or may not have a bearing on your actual problem (which I'm still not clear on because you still haven't answered by previous five questions and you have not yet sent me the scans you promised) but it is something you should know about anyway.
