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 n_i 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 n_i 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 n_i 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 Summary

Fields
Modifier and Type	Field and Description
`static Sides`	`DUPLEX` An alias for "two sided long edge" (see `TWO_SIDED_LONG_EDGE`).
`static Sides`	`ONE_SIDED` Imposes each consecutive print-stream page upon the same side of consecutive media sheets.
`static Sides`	`TUMBLE` An alias for "two sided short edge" (see `TWO_SIDED_SHORT_EDGE`).
`static 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.
`static 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.

- 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

    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.
