Printing a Circuit for PCB Etching

Hello. I am completely new to all of this and this is the third time I am trying to print one. [The earlier two that I did were single sided and it was quite simpler, but this time, it is a dual sided design and even a bigger one almost an A4 size]. So please excuse me even if my question sounds quite "novice" or "lame". I am trying to print a design/circuit layout (not even sure if this is the right word) on a glossy paper to etch a PCB at home. Problem: The design is for a dual sided PCB. I searched and read and almost everywhere it said that I need to mirror the layout before print - and this is where I fail to understand. \- Which Layer\(s\) I need to mirror? And How \- I mean\, is it when I try printing onto paper or I generate the PNG as a Mirrored one? I would really appreciate if the community could show me the right paths.

@andyfierman Ah, I always used that page for reference when I printed those single sided ones. And somehow I was not paying attention to the lines at the end of that screenshot you shared. Thank you for pointing this out. (personal note:) And also for me - I need to be patient and read all of those things.

You need to mirror both layers (Top & Bottom). As when Images are mirrored then only would be able to print front image on Copper Clad PCB.

@DushyantC1, "You need to mirror both layers (Top & Bottom)." Is that true? At the time of writing (V6.4.16. 23 Feb 2021) EasyEDA views the board from the top so a print of the top tracks is the correct way round to print them on the top layer. Mirroring the print of the bottom layer makes the print the right way round when you turn the board over (so the bottom layer is now facing you) to print the bottom layer tracks.
