/**
 * Class {@code SheetCollate} is a printing attribute class, an enumeration,
 * that specifies whether or not the media sheets of each copy of each printed
 * document in a job are to be in sequence, when multiple copies of the document
 * are specified by the {@link Copies Copies} attribute. When
 * {@code SheetCollate} is {@code COLLATED}, each copy of each document is
 * printed with the print-stream sheets in sequence. When {@code SheetCollate}
 * is {@code UNCOLLATED}, each print-stream sheet is printed a number of times
 * equal to the value of the {@link Copies Copies} attribute in succession. For
 * example, suppose a document produces two media sheets as output,
 * {@link Copies Copies} is 6, and {@code SheetCollate} is UNCOLLATED; in this
 * case six copies of the first media sheet are printed followed by six copies
 * of the second media sheet.
 * 

* Whether the effect of sheet collation is achieved by placing copies of a * document in multiple output bins or in the same output bin with * implementation defined document separation is implementation dependent. Also * whether it is achieved by making multiple passes over the job or by using an * output sorter is implementation dependent. *

* If a printer does not support the {@code SheetCollate} attribute (meaning the * client cannot specify any particular sheet collation), the printer must * behave as though {@code SheetCollate} were always set to {@code COLLATED}. *

* The {@code SheetCollate} attribute interacts with the * {@link MultipleDocumentHandling MultipleDocumentHandling} attribute. The * {@link MultipleDocumentHandling MultipleDocumentHandling} attribute describes * the collation of entire documents, and the {@code SheetCollate} attribute * describes the semantics of collating individual pages within a document. *

* The effect of a {@code SheetCollate} attribute on a multidoc print job (a job * with multiple documents) depends on whether all the docs have the same sheet * collation specified or whether different docs have different sheet collations * specified, and on the (perhaps defaulted) value of the * {@link MultipleDocumentHandling MultipleDocumentHandling} attribute. *

    *
  • If all the docs have the same sheet collation specified, then the * following combinations of {@code SheetCollate} and * {@link MultipleDocumentHandling MultipleDocumentHandling} are permitted, * and the printer reports an error when the job is submitted if any other * combination is specified: *
      *
    • SheetCollate = COLLATED, {@link MultipleDocumentHandling * MultipleDocumentHandling} = SINGLE_DOCUMENT -- All the input docs will be * combined into one output document. Multiple copies of the output document * will be produced with pages in collated order, i.e. pages 1, 2, 3, . . ., * 1, 2, 3, . . . *
    • SheetCollate = COLLATED, {@link MultipleDocumentHandling * MultipleDocumentHandling} = SINGLE_DOCUMENT_NEW_SHEET -- All the input * docs will be combined into one output document, and the first impression * of each input doc will always start on a new media sheet. Multiple copies * of the output document will be produced with pages in collated order, * i.e. pages 1, 2, 3, . . ., 1, 2, 3, . . . *
    • SheetCollate = COLLATED, {@link MultipleDocumentHandling * MultipleDocumentHandling} = SEPARATE_DOCUMENTS_UNCOLLATED_COPIES -- Each * input doc will remain a separate output document. Multiple copies of each * output document (call them A, B, . . .) will be produced with each * document's pages in collated order, but the documents themselves in * uncollated order, i.e. pages A1, A2, A3, . . ., A1, A2, A3, . . ., B1, * B2, B3, . . ., B1, B2, B3, . . . *
    • SheetCollate = COLLATED, {@link MultipleDocumentHandling * MultipleDocumentHandling} = SEPARATE_DOCUMENTS_COLLATED_COPIES -- Each * input doc will remain a separate output document. Multiple copies of each * output document (call them A, B, . . .) will be produced with each * document's pages in collated order, with the documents themselves also in * collated order, i.e. pages A1, A2, A3, . . ., B1, B2, B3, . . ., A1, A2, * A3, . . ., B1, B2, B3, . . . *
    • SheetCollate = UNCOLLATED, {@link MultipleDocumentHandling * MultipleDocumentHandling} = SINGLE_DOCUMENT -- All the input docs will be * combined into one output document. Multiple copies of the output document * will be produced with pages in uncollated order, i.e. pages 1, 1, . . ., * 2, 2, . . ., 3, 3, . . . *

    *
  • If different docs have different sheet collations specified, then only * one value of {@link MultipleDocumentHandling MultipleDocumentHandling} is * permitted, and the printer reports an error when the job is submitted if * any other value is specified: *
      *
    • {@link MultipleDocumentHandling MultipleDocumentHandling} = * SEPARATE_DOCUMENTS_UNCOLLATED_COPIES -- Each input doc will remain a * separate output document. Multiple copies of each output document (call * them A, B, . . .) will be produced with each document's pages in collated * or uncollated order as the corresponding input doc's SheetCollate * attribute specifies, and with the documents themselves in uncollated * order. If document A had SheetCollate = UNCOLLATED and document B had * SheetCollate = COLLATED, the following pages would be produced: A1, A1, . * . ., A2, A2, . . ., A3, A3, . . ., B1, B2, B3, . . ., B1, B2, B3, . . . *
