    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 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.

    • Field Detail

      • ONE_SIDED

        public static final Sides ONE_SIDED
        Imposes each consecutive print-stream page upon the same side of consecutive media sheets.

      • TWO_SIDED_LONG_EDGE

        public static final Sides TWO_SIDED_LONG_EDGE
        Imposes each consecutive pair of print-stream pages upon front and back sides of consecutive media sheets, such that the orientation of each pair of print-stream pages on the medium would be correct for the reader as if for binding on the long edge. This imposition is also known as "duplex" (see DUPLEX).

      • TWO_SIDED_SHORT_EDGE

        public static final Sides TWO_SIDED_SHORT_EDGE
        Imposes each consecutive pair of print-stream pages upon front and back sides of consecutive media sheets, such that the orientation of each pair of print-stream pages on the medium would be correct for the reader as if for binding on the short edge. This imposition is also known as "tumble" (see TUMBLE).

    • Constructor Detail

      • Sides

        protected Sides(int value)
        Construct a new sides enumeration value with the given integer value.
        Parameters:
        value - Integer value.

    • Method Detail

      • getStringTable

        protected String[] getStringTable()
        Returns the string table for class Sides.
        Overrides:
        getStringTable in class EnumSyntax
        Returns:
        the string table

      • getEnumValueTable

        protected EnumSyntax[] getEnumValueTable()
        Returns the enumeration value table for class Sides.
        Overrides:
        getEnumValueTable in class EnumSyntax
        Returns:
        the value table

      • getCategory

        public final Class<? extends Attribute> getCategory()
        Get the printing attribute class which is to be used as the "category" for this printing attribute value.

        For class Sides, the category is class Sides itself.

        Specified by:
        getCategory in interface Attribute
        Returns:
        Printing attribute class (category), an instance of class java.lang.Class.

      • getName

        public final String getName()
        Get the name of the category of which this attribute value is an instance.

        For class Sides, the category name is "sides".

        Specified by:
        getName in interface Attribute
        Returns:
        Attribute category name.
