English term or phrase: U-turn/J-turn
Bonjour, il s'agit du système recto-verso d'une imprimante. J'ai dans un schéma les expressions "J-turn", "U-turn" et "U-turn paper path". Je ne vois pas comment traduire "J-turn" par rapport à "U-turn" demi-tour, je suppose. Ou alors faut-il les laisser en anglais ?

Merci !

Explanation:
Quand on imprime une page recto/verso, nous avons deux choix bord long et bord court. L'un c'est juste une impression au verso dans le même sens que le recto, et l'autre désigne l'impression coté verso mais à l'envers.

disagree  Daryo: do you have any reference in EN showing the difference between a "U-turn" and a "J-turn" paper path in a printer or a scanner? NOTHING shows that these 2 paper paths are in fact of the "U-turn" and of the "J-turn" types.
