Forward and Reverse Printing

All AstroJet Printers are based on eight printheads regardless of the actual number of printheads mounted on the

printer. The printheads are numbered in RED in the forward printing direction and in BLUE in the reverse

printing direction. This corresponds in the “Layout Editor” under the S

etup, Stock Direction as Forward or

everse. These colors and numbers appear on both the printheads in the printer and the layout in the layout

editor on your computer monitor.

AstroJet 3800, Image Blaster, and Imaging System II

In the case of the AstroJet 3800, Image Blaster, and Imaging System II with eight printheads you can see that

when you reverse the Stock Direction, the head numbers change from RED to BLUE and the printhead that was

number 1 in RED is now numbered 8 in BLUE on your layout. On the printer you will notice that the head has

the number 1 in RED also has the number 8 in BLUE. The heads and the layout correspond to this so that you

will know which head prints what information.

The illustrations below are from the operator side of the printer and show the head layout in forward and reverse.

AstroJet 1000

If the printer you are using has less than eight heads the software still treats it as an eight head printer. It is for

that reason that when using an AstroJet 1000 the RED printhead numbers go from 1 to 5, but the BLUE printhead

numbers go from 8 to 4.

An illustration of the AstroJet 1000 with five printheads appears below.
