- The paper passes again to apply the ማጄንታ ንብርብር.
- A third pass applies the ሳያን ንብርብር.
- The final pass applies a protective laminating layer, making the print fingerprint and water-resistant.
To initiate printing, tap the 'Print' button in the app. The printer will automatically handle the 4-pass process.
