Class
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.
- If all the docs have the same sides value n specified, then any
value of
MultipleDocumentHandling
makes sense, and the printer's processing depends on theMultipleDocumentHandling
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.
