  34  * Class Sides is a printing attribute class, an enumeration, that specifies
  35  * how print-stream pages are to be imposed upon the sides of an instance of a
  36  * selected medium, i.e., an impression.
  37  * <P>
  38  * The effect of a Sides attribute on a multidoc print job (a job with multiple
  39  * documents) depends on whether all the docs have the same sides values
  40  * specified or whether different docs have different sides values specified,
  41  * and on the (perhaps defaulted) value of the {@link MultipleDocumentHandling
  42  * MultipleDocumentHandling} attribute.
  43  * <UL>
  44  * <LI>
  45  * If all the docs have the same sides value <I>n</I> specified, then any value
  46  * of {@link MultipleDocumentHandling MultipleDocumentHandling} makes sense,
  47  * and the printer's processing depends on the {@link MultipleDocumentHandling
  48  * MultipleDocumentHandling} value:
  49  * <UL>
  50  * <LI>
  51  * SINGLE_DOCUMENT -- All the input docs will be combined together into one
  52  * output document. Each media sheet will consist of <I>n</I> impressions from
  53  * the output document.
  54  * <P>
  55  * <LI>
  56  * SINGLE_DOCUMENT_NEW_SHEET -- All the input docs will be combined together
  57  * into one output document. Each media sheet will consist of <I>n</I>
  58  * impressions from the output document. However, the first impression of each
  59  * input doc will always start on a new media sheet; this means the last media
  60  * sheet of an input doc may have only one impression on it.
  61  * <P>
  62  * <LI>
  63  * SEPARATE_DOCUMENTS_UNCOLLATED_COPIES -- The input docs will remain separate.
  64  * Each media sheet will consist of <I>n</I> impressions from the input doc.
  65  * Since the input docs are separate, the first impression of each input doc
  66  * will always start on a new media sheet; this means the last media sheet of
  67  * an input doc may have only one impression on it.
  68  * <P>
  69  * <LI>
  70  * SEPARATE_DOCUMENTS_COLLATED_COPIES -- The input docs will remain separate.
  71  * Each media sheet will consist of <I>n</I> impressions from the input doc.
  72  * Since the input docs are separate, the first impression of each input doc

  81  * impressions from the output document, where <I>i</I> is the number of the
  82  * input doc corresponding to that point in the output document. When the next
  83  * input doc has a different sides value from the previous input doc, the first
  84  * print-stream page of the next input doc goes at the start of the next media
  85  * sheet, possibly leaving only one impression on the previous media sheet.

  90  * impressions from the output document. However, the first impression of each

  93  * <P>
  94  * <LI>
  95  * SEPARATE_DOCUMENTS_UNCOLLATED_COPIES -- The input docs will remain separate.
  96  * For input doc <I>i,</I> each media sheet will consist of <I>n<SUB>i</SUB></I>
  97  * impressions from the input doc. Since the input docs are separate, the first
  98  * impression of each input doc will always start on a new media sheet; this
