  Use SAPscript: If reprinting is essential and you need to use the reprint functionality, consider creating or converting the form to SAPscript if feasible.
  Output Type Configuration: Review the output type configuration in transaction NACE. Ensure that the output type is set up correctly for the intended form type and that reprint options are enabled if applicable.
