📅 03 Feb 2026 📂 General 👁 6 views

This Knowledge Base (KB) article provides technical, practical guidance for configuring a company logo on Tally invoices.
It is intended for IT professionals, system administrators, accountants, and support engineers who manage **Tally Solutions products such as TallyPrime in production environments.

The article covers:

  • Recommended logo specifications

  • Internal print behavior and limitations

  • Step-by-step configuration

  • Common failures and root-cause fixes

  • Best practices for performance and print clarity

Product / Feature Overview

Tally allows printing a company logo on vouchers, invoices, and reports using its Print Configuration engine.

Key Characteristics

  • Logo is loaded from a local file path

  • Rendered at print-time (not embedded in data)

  • Appears top-left of vouchers and reports

  • Supported primarily for Sales, Purchase, and Accounting vouchers

Recommended Logo Specifications (Critical)

ParameterRecommended Value
Width96 pixels
Height80 pixels
File FormatJPG or BMP
File Size≤ 30 KB
Color ModeRGB
BackgroundPlain / White
LocationLocal drive (not network path)

These dimensions are optimal for Tally’s print rendering engine and ensure clarity across dot-matrix, inkjet, and laser printers.

Technical Explanation (Behavior & Limitations)

How Tally Loads the Logo

  • Tally references the logo using a static file path

  • The image is rasterized during print preview/print

  • Large images increase print spool time and may fail silently

Known Limitations

  • ❌ No PNG transparency handling

  • ❌ No automatic scaling

  • ❌ Network paths may fail due to permission or latency

  • ❌ High-resolution images may not render at all

Supported Use Cases & Environments

  • Single-user Tally installations

  • Multi-user setups with local logo copy on each system

  • Invoice printing on:

    • Dot-matrix printers

    • Laser printers

    • PDF export via virtual printers

Step-by-Step: Configure Logo in Tally

Step 1: Prepare the Logo (Using MS Paint)

  1. Open logo in MS Paint

  2. Click Resize

  3. Select Pixels

  4. ❌ Uncheck Maintain aspect ratio

  5. Set:

    • Horizontal: 96

    • Vertical: 80

  6. Save as JPG or BMP

  7. Confirm file size is under 30 KB

Step 2: Set Logo in Tally

  1. Open Sales Voucher

  2. Press:

    Ctrl + P

  3. Press:

    C (Configure)

  4. Set:

    • Show Company Logo → Yes

Image File Name : companylogo.jpg

Step 3: Preview Before Printing

  • Press:

    I (Preview)

  • Verify logo appears correctly at the top-left

Troubleshooting Guide

Issue 1: Logo Not Showing at All

Root Causes

  • Incorrect dimensions

  • Unsupported format (PNG)

  • File size too large

  • Wrong file path

Fix

  • Resize to 96×80 px

  • Save as JPG/BMP

  • Move file to local drive (e.g., D:\)

Issue 2: Logo Prints Blurry or Cropped

Root Causes

  • High-resolution image scaled down

  • Aspect ratio preserved incorrectly

Fix

  • Disable Maintain aspect ratio

  • Use exact pixel values

Issue 3: Logo Shows in Preview but Not in Print

Root Causes

  • Printer driver limitations

  • Spooler memory constraints

Fix

  • Reduce file size further (≤20 KB)

  • Update printer driver

  • Test with PDF printer

Logs / Diagnostics

Tally does not generate explicit error logs for logo failures.
Diagnosis is based on:

  • Print Preview behavior

  • Trial print results

  • File validation

Security Considerations

  • Avoid using network shares (UNC paths) for logos

  • Prevent unauthorized modification of logo files

  • Store logo in read-only directory if possible

  • Do not embed sensitive metadata in image files

Best Practices & Recommendations

  • Keep a standardized logo copy per workstation

  • Use simple, high-contrast logos

  • Avoid gradients and shadows

  • Test on all printer types in use

  • Document logo location during system handover

  • Revalidate logo after Tally upgrades

Conclusion

Using a 96×80 pixel JPG/BMP logo under 30 KB ensures reliable, fast, and clear logo rendering on Tally invoices.
Correct resizing, local file placement, and proper print configuration eliminate 90%+ of logo-related print issues in Tally environments.
