Sides is a printing attribute class, an enumeration, that
specifies how print-stream pages are to be imposed upon the sides of an
instance of a selected medium, i.e., an impression.
The effect of a Sides attribute on a multidoc print job (a job with
multiple documents) depends on whether all the docs have the same sides
values specified or whether different docs have different sides values
specified, and on the (perhaps defaulted) value of the
MultipleDocumentHandling attribute.
MultipleDocumentHandling makes
sense, and the printer's processing depends on the
MultipleDocumentHandling value:
SINGLE_DOCUMENT -- All the input docs will be combined
together into one output document. Each media sheet will consist of
n impressions from the output document.
SINGLE_DOCUMENT_NEW_SHEET -- All the input docs will be
combined together into one output document. Each media sheet will consist
of n impressions from the output document. However, the first
impression of each input doc will always start on a new media sheet; this
means the last media sheet of an input doc may have only one impression
on it.
SEPARATE_DOCUMENTS_UNCOLLATED_COPIES -- The input docs will
remain separate. Each media sheet will consist of n impressions
from the input doc. Since the input docs are separate, the first
impression of each input doc will always start on a new media sheet; this
means the last media sheet of an input doc may have only one impression
on it.
SEPARATE_DOCUMENTS_COLLATED_COPIES -- The input docs will
remain separate. Each media sheet will consist of n impressions
from the input doc. Since the input docs are separate, the first
impression of each input doc will always start on a new media sheet; this
means the last media sheet of an input doc may have only one impression
on it.
SINGLE_DOCUMENT -- All the input docs will be combined
together into one output document. Each media sheet will consist of
ni impressions from the output document, where i
is the number of the input doc corresponding to that point in the output
document. When the next input doc has a different sides value from the
previous input doc, the first print-stream page of the next input doc
goes at the start of the next media sheet, possibly leaving only one
impression on the previous media sheet.
SINGLE_DOCUMENT_NEW_SHEET -- All the input docs will be
combined together into one output document. Each media sheet will consist
of n impressions from the output document. However, the first
impression of each input doc will always start on a new media sheet; this
means the last impression of an input doc may have only one impression on
it.
SEPARATE_DOCUMENTS_UNCOLLATED_COPIES -- The input docs will
remain separate. For input doc i, each media sheet will consist of
ni impressions from the input doc. Since the input docs
are separate, the first impression of each input doc will always start on
a new media sheet; this means the last media sheet of an input doc may
have only one impression on it.
SEPARATE_DOCUMENTS_COLLATED_COPIES -- The input docs will
remain separate. For input doc i, each media sheet will consist of
ni impressions from the input doc. Since the input docs
are separate, the first impression of each input doc will always start on
a new media sheet; this means the last media sheet of an input doc may
have only one impression on it.
IPP Compatibility: The category name returned by getName() is
the IPP attribute name. The enumeration's integer value is the IPP enum
value. The toString() method returns the IPP string representation of
the attribute value.
