General ⇒ Vertical offset for even/oddsides

[Lothloriena]

Hi there,

I am just formatting my PhD thesis and adjusting it such that the printer offsets are corrected from the software side. Our printer has a little vertical offset of the page, which means that the evenside is printed a little further up than the oddside. Can anyone suggest how to solve this problem? Is there a similar command as \evensidemargin and \oddsidemargin for the topmargin?

Thanks in advance!

Add this to the preamble:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{everyshi}
\EveryShipout{\ifodd\value{page}\setlength{\voffset}{0pt}\else\setlength{\voffset}{2cm}\fi}

If everything goes fine, you'll see in the screen that even pages start 2cm below odd pages, so, when printed, they start at the same level (if the gap is 2cm). Instead of 2cm, write above the correct length (which can be negative, if needed).

Thanks a million, Juanjo! It worked fine!
