Hi,
This issue was raised in NAV2009 under the following topic, but I'm re-raising the issue.

I want to add a MICR line to the standard check report stub/stub/check 14501. But I can't get it to print close enough to the bottom edge of the paper. Industry specs say it has to be 3/16" from the bottom, but the closest I can get is 5/16".
RDLC report has bottom margin of 0. I've tried 0.9 also, in case a "0" means something "unique".
Interestingly, we also have Payroll, and the Payroll check prints sufficiently close to the bottom - even with a 0.099 bottom margin. Paper sizes are the same. The Payroll report is structured differently and probably developed by Serenic, so I can't do an "apples-to-apples" comparison or ask Microsoft what the difference might be.
I'm guessing it's related to the heights of the various sections (header/body/footer) but have tried various combinations with no luck. Has anyone figured out the secret?

Any field within the footer using the following expression for the visibility property causes a gap at the end of the report footer.
=iif(ReportItems!CheckStyle.Value = 0, false, true)
There are 4 fields on this report that have this hidden expression - they are the fields for the Canadian dollar amounts (the check object has 2 sets of fields - one for US dollar amounts and one for CA dollar amounts.
I had actually moved the fields above the US dollar amount fields and got the same result - a narrower bottom margin.
Solves a mystery that's been out here on MIBUSO for quite awhile since it happens in NAV2009 also!
