Handy Hints

WHY FLIP A DOCUMENT?

You’ll want to flip a document when you use an iron-on transfer (see page 39); the image you’re transferring

is flipped back to its original orientation when it’s ironed onto the cloth.

You might want to flip a document before printing it on a transparency; then you can make notes on the back of the transparency and easily wipe them off later without scratching the transparency.

CHEAPER THAN LIGHT

Did you know that when your printer is turned on it uses less energy than most light bulbs—a mere 12 watts while it’s printing.

How to Flip a Document

When you print a flipped document, the text and pictures are flipped horizontally (mirrored) from what you see on your computer screen.

Click Flip Horizontal.

The text and pictures are reversed. Hold the printout up to a mirror to see how the final product will look.
