Or, more simply, turn headers off altogether: .HEADERS OFF

Just to clarify:
.T_MARGIN 3.75c
- running text starts at 3.75 centimeters, regardless of the
header position or whether headers are turned on
.HEADER_MARGIN 2.5c
.T_MARGIN 3.75c
- header is set 2.5 centimeters below the top of the page
- running text starts at 3.75 centimeters
.HEADER_MARGIN 2.5c
.HEADER_GAP 1.25c
- header is set 2.5 centimeters below the top of the page
- running text starts at 1.25 centimeters below the header,
effectively creating a top margin of 3.75 centimeters
but
.HEADER_MARGIN 2.5c
.HEADER_GAP 1.25c
.T_MARGIN 3c
- body text starts at 3 centimeters because T_MARGIN
takes precedence
