ABSTRACT:
A media sheet is picked and moved along a media path toward a print zone. During the operation a media sensor detects whether the media sheet is properly oriented to receive print recording. For example, for glossy paper, photographic paper or letterhead there is a proper side of the paper for recording and a backside of the paper which typically does not receive print recording. If the proper side is not oriented to receiving print recording, then the media sheet is flipped by a modular duplex media handling system.
