Why do I get an error using embossed fonts?
The most common error occurs when embossed fonts are not positioned correctly on
a card. Embossed fonts can be placed anywhere on a card, except for the margin
area, which varies by printer. If embossed text is placed in the margin area of the
card, an illegal font placement error will be detected by the printer and the card will
not print the embossed text. The error message will appear both on the printer and
on the computer screen.

The problem likely is traced to the orientation you are using. Emboss fonts only
print horizontally on a card in landscape orientation. If the font has been rotated in
landscape orientation, the font will not print as displayed. Conversely, in portrait
orientation, the embossed font must be rotated to display vertically on the card.
Embossing should be limited to landscape orientation. The reason for this is the
mechanical design of the printer and the wheel set.
