Re: Laserjet 4 plus Problem !!!

2007-03-30 by Bruno St-Laurent

Did a small workaround to solved it !!! i printed first layer then 
rotate drawing 180- degree then print the second layer(mirror)!!!, 
Why ?? it prints the 2 layers the same way so they gets the same 
offset in the middle , aligning properly for transfer !!!
