You really need to read the L4 Manual, and the ASCOM Gemini.net manual.? Meridian Flips are part of the Quick menu system in the Gemini 1.
The ASCOM driver.net also provides a way to do a meridian Flip with the Gemini 1.

Please search both manuals for Meridian Flip and both have sections and instructions on how to accomplish this.
