Or some pre-printed form's wording is incorrect, and you the programmer were supposed to notice it after printing 50 boxes of paper!!!!
You'd often see that sort of thing when someone thought they could do a better job of working out where the top of the form was, and they'd count lines in their program, doing all form placement using line feeds. Instead of not trying to print on all available lines, telling the printer the real form height, and using a form-feed command to let the printer find the top.
Absolutely the worst case for this was when printing checks.
