REPORTS_ADD_HWMARGIN
environment variable(Windows only) This environment variable specifies whether to include the printer hardware-based left margin. By default, this margin is ignored. The printing origin starts from the top-left corner (0,0) of the physical paper and not the printable area. This is to facilitate the design of of reports independent of the printer hardware margin. These reports can then be deployed across various printers.
In the past, the printer's printable area was used, causing inconsistencies in the location of the report output when moving across different printer models.
