[. . . ] NOTE It is recommended to perform a normal printhead recovery before starting to print on the back of the media. NOTE The output image from the RIP must be rotated 180º when using this method. Printing on the back of the media from the take-up reel (without relocating from take-up side) To print on the back of the media, you first print on the top side (A), you then cut the media and insert into the feeder again through a space at the bottom of the printer (B). The drying time of a printed side varies depending on the image, so you must verify that the printed side is completely dry before printing on the other side. In general, it is best to dry the printed side for more than three hours. For images with a dark intensity at least 24 hours is required. NOTE A margin of approximately 2. 5 m is required at the top edge of the media to print on the back from the take-up reel. NOTE When you print on the top side (A) the take-up is with the printed side on the outside (outer-take-up).

Install the media on the main scroller in the printer (Refer to Install a media roll in the printer using the main scroller). b. Select FRONT using the or keys. Press the OK key to confirm the selection. CAUTION To print on thick tarpaulin (0. 5 mm or thicker), raise the printhead height first (Refer to Change the printhead height). NOTE If tarpaulin media designed for single side printing (different surface finishes) is used, print on the rougher side first. When the media feed position is set to FRONT, two additional lines are printed at the end of the print job to aid the alignment of the media when it is reloaded to print on the other side. To ensure these lines are printed in the correct position, make sure all the print jobs for the top side of the media are sent immediately from the print application. 3. Feed the media onto the take-up reel (Refer to Use the take-up reel). NOTE Wind the media onto the take-up reel about four full turns because you will need a top margin of approximately 2. 5 m to print on the back of the media. How do I perform double-sided printing 4.

Once the printing has completed, feed enough media out of the printer and cut the media along the dashed line. With a suitable marker put guide marks (2) on the edges of the back of the media (3), where the edges are intersected by the solid line (1).
