Try contacting support for your embosser. I use a Romeo and called them. They walked me through setting up the embosser and the mPower. Recently, I embossed 20 copies of an 8 page document embossing them one at a time and did not have any problems with the process.

The first copy goes perfectly. This indicates that the initial process is without problems. The problems come when I try to emboss a second or third or ... copy either by responding to "Number of copies" with a number higher than 1 or by going through the steps to emboss another copy. This is when the "7" appears at the right, top of my document. After the first page, it does not put any page numbers until it gets to the top of the next copy. There, at page 1, I will have another "7" unless I turn the Blazer off and on again. I am suspecting it is a problem with the serial port transfer. I will soon see when I start making copies of a shorter document. The mistery will be, will I get a "7" or some other number. Another person suggested that there may be too many lines at the bottom of my document. In my case, the "7" does not have its own blank page, it shares with the first page of the second or third or ... copy of the document.
