James; I am going to be learning how to use an embosser from a computer and maybe later from the M-power. Does this apply to a computer also? Terry Powers

This happens within Keyword. Once your first six pages are completed, and if you have further returns which take you to a new page, you will end up with a blank page with page seven at the upper right hand corner. Before you ready your document for embossing, check the line spacing at the end of a document. Make certain there are no more than two returns at the end of the document. If there are more than that, you could end up with the new page with the seven at the upper right hand corner. I found that embossing more than one copy at a time with the BN created more trouble than it was worth. Sometimes the paper wouldn't feed right after the second and third copies. I recommend you do one at a time and they will be correct without unforeseen trouble. This is my take on it, I'm simply saying this is a common problem which has been around for some time.
