Claim:
A computer implemented method of operating a self-service transaction terminal to print a plurality of XFS forms by a printer of the self-service transaction terminal to provide a self-service terminal user with a dual-sided statement for a self-service transaction conducted by the self-service terminal user at the self-service transaction terminal, the method comprising: identifying whether single- or double-sided media is installed in the printer by reading a signal from one or more reflectivity sensors included in the printer, the one or more reflectivity sensors being adapted to produce a signal indicative of the presence of a thermally sensitive coating on a first or second side of the media; printing blocks of XFS front field data on a first media side and blocks of XFS back field data on a second media side, opposite the first media side, if the media is identified as double-sided media, wherein (i) the blocks of XFS front and back field data are printed on a single uncut physical page, and (ii) printing blocks of XFS front field data on a first media side and blocks of XFS back field data on a second media side, opposite the first media side, comprises not printing a subsequent front or back field until both of the preceding front and back fields are printed on the single uncut physical page; and delivering to the self-service terminal user the single uncut physical page which has the blocks of XFS front and back field data printed thereon to provide the dual-sided statement for the self-service transaction conducted by the self-service terminal user at the self-service transaction terminal.
