I have Win XP Pro and a HP printer.

I am doing some experimenting, and would like to
be able to print out a mirror image of a document.

What do I need to do this?

TIA,

Nev.
 
The proper software and/or a printer driver that will allow it to be done.
Some color inkjet printers will allow you to reverse the printout to print
on inkjet iron-on transfer material. Check in the settings for the printer
driver either for a checkbox or in the paper type for transfers or iron-on
transfers. If it says Reverse order, that simply allows the last page in a
multiple page printout to print first so it stacks the paper in proper
order. This is NOT the setting you want to reverse the image.
 
HI Nev,

I cant help you with your problem, but you may be able to help me.
Im haveing probs when I use "save as" to my pictures, as it does not give a
saved sign or let me re-open it after. Can you tell me what Im doing wrong.

Thank you for your reply.
I have found the options that allow me to print the mirror image in Word and
Outlook Express

The thing I want to do next is to send the mirror image generated in Outlook
Express as an email and to save the mirror image generated under Word back
to Word as another file.

TIA,

Nev.

I wish I could give you some help, but I do not do any work with pictures so
my knowedge in that field is zilch. I hope somebody else sees your query
and can help.

This changes things from the original post.

I don't know of any process/program that could do this by itself, including
Word as mirrored images are generally a product of the printing process.
You may be able to print to a PDF file as a mirror image and then send that
file as an Outlook Express attachment. I know that Adobe Acrobat version 6
does not have the capability of mirroring output but other PDF writers may
be able to do that.

Does the "file" to be created need to be editable at the destination end?
If not and the document will fit on one screen page, you could also "screen
capture" the image, put it into a picture/photo editor and mirror the image,
and send that image as a file attachment. For screen captures I use a free
software product called Screen Hunter 4 free from this web site
http://www.wisdom-soft.com/products/screenhunter_free.htm which will allow
you to set the program to capture just what is selected using the mouse. I
find this very useful. If you save the captured image to the clipboard you
can import the image into MS Paint and reverse the image there by Pasting
the clipboard into the program, clicking Image/Flip-Rotate/Flip Horizontal
then save the image to attach.

Curiosity has now gotten the better of me. Why do you need to send this
file as a mirrored image? Could the recipient not mirror the output when
the job is printed at the other end?

Yes. I hadn't done this for a while, so when I started playing with
it again I found out how to do it again.

I am looking at trying to plan a sort of linguistic research project.

Let's suppose I'm looking at people with a linguistic/reading problem,
e.g. dyslexia.

If I want to give someone a quick test at a set location, e.g. a uni, I
take my test with me and have the person read the test back to me.
But, if the person is on the other side of town, or in another town,
it is not so easy, so it may be simple to send the test in its final form,
say mirror image, so that it comes up ready on that person's screen
ready for use without having to be processed further, and they can
read it back to me over the phone.

If someone has a disability of any kind, I want to limit any effect
that disability may have on what they have to do.

Thank you for your help,

Nev.
 
Sorry I couldn't be of more help as I always like to try to help those who
help others.

Good luck on your project.
