Blurry Logo: Ensure your source logo file is high-resolution and not stretched beyond a 1:1 aspect ratio.
Sequence Gaps: If a print job fails, check the “Document Logs” to reset or manually override the next sequence serial number.
Blank Pages: Verify that your physical paper size matches the exact dimensions specified in your app’s Printer Layout settings. If you need help with advanced workflows, let me know: Do you need to import bulk inventory/client data via Excel? Are you setting up multi-currency billing?
