2. Follow the steps already described in the Overprinting procedure section on page 9. Two-sided printing Two-sided printing is only available for jobs stored in the printer. The procedure for loading media for two-sided printing is the same as usual, but with these additional considerations: a. The Centered print position centers both side 1 and side 2 images left to right. b. The Maximal media measurement method is recommended. c. The Standard method may be used if the media is square. CAUTION: The ink on side 1 may not be fully cured. Use caution when reloading it to print side 2, to prevent scratching ink on side 1. Preparing image for two-sided printing In most situations, such as signage, the image for the second side will be rotated 180°. Using all of the recommended practices described in this document, the two sides will print with alignment suitable to the application. For some applications, such as images that will be die-cut to a custom shape, the image should be flipped in the X-axis (side to side) and the media sheet also flipped in the X-axis. This method will achieve the greatest accuracy of alignment on the leading edge of the media. ENWW 13
