When SheetCollate is 38 * COLLATED, each copy of each document is printed with the print-stream sheets 39 * in sequence. When SheetCollate is UNCOLLATED, each print-stream sheet is 40 * printed a number of times equal to the value of the {@link Copies Copies} 41 * attribute in succession. For example, suppose a document produces two media 42 * sheets as output, {@link Copies Copies} is 6, and SheetCollate is UNCOLLATED; 43 * in this case six copies of the first media sheet are printed followed by 44 * six copies of the second media sheet. 45 * <P> 46 * Whether the effect of sheet collation is achieved by placing copies of a 47 * document in multiple output bins or in the same output bin with 48 * implementation defined document separation is implementation dependent. 49 * Also whether it is achieved by making multiple passes over the job or by 50 * using an output sorter is implementation dependent. 51 * <P> 52 * If a printer does not support the SheetCollate attribute (meaning the client 53 * cannot specify any particular sheet collation), the printer must behave as 54 * though SheetCollate were always set to COLLATED. 55 * <P> 56 * The SheetCollate attribute interacts with the {@link MultipleDocumentHandling 57 * MultipleDocumentHandling} attribute. The {@link MultipleDocumentHandling 58 * MultipleDocumentHandling} attribute describes the collation of entire 59 * documents, and the SheetCollate attribute describes the semantics of 60 * collating individual pages within a document. 61 * <P> 62 * The effect of a SheetCollate attribute on a multidoc print job (a job with 63 * multiple documents) depends on whether all the docs have the same sheet 64 * collation specified or whether different docs have different sheet 65 * collations specified, and on the (perhaps defaulted) value of the {@link 66 * MultipleDocumentHandling MultipleDocumentHandling} attribute. 67 * <UL> 68 * <LI> 69 * If all the docs have the same sheet collation specified, then the following 70 * combinations of SheetCollate and {@link MultipleDocumentHandling 71 * MultipleDocumentHandling} are permitted, and the printer reports an error 72 * when the job is submitted if any other combination is specified: 73 * <UL> 74 * <LI> 75 * SheetCollate = COLLATED, {@link MultipleDocumentHandling 76 * MultipleDocumentHandling} = SINGLE_DOCUMENT -- All the input docs will be 77 * combined into one output document.
