Inverted Image

If your printed image is inverted unexpectedly, try these solutions:

•Turn off any mirror or inversion settings in your printing application.

•Turn off the Mirror Image, Flip horizontally, or Reverse page orientation settings in your printer software. (This option has different names, depending on your operating system version.)

Note: Leave these options turned on when you print on Epson Iron-on Cool Peel Transfer paper, if available for your product.
