Do recommend using separate accounting software. While a lot of apps have something built in, it's nothing compared to xero, quickbooks etc. all your invoices, purchase orders, etc will get managed in there. you can track money in and out easily.

The Colorado has a built in test print. does it happen on that? Does it do it on AveryMPI2000 (the default stock for the colorado)
