Class Copies is an integer valued printing attribute class that specifies the
number of copies to be printed.
On many devices the supported number of collated copies will be limited by
the number of physical output bins on the device, and may be different from
the number of uncollated copies which can be supported.
The effect of a Copies attribute with a value of n on a multidoc print
job (a job with multiple documents) depends on the (perhaps defaulted) value
of the MultipleDocumentHandling
attribute:
-
SINGLE_DOCUMENT -- The result will be n copies of a single output
document comprising all the input docs.
-
SINGLE_DOCUMENT_NEW_SHEET -- The result will be n copies of a single
output document comprising all the input docs, and the first impression of
each input doc will always start on a new media sheet.
-
SEPARATE_DOCUMENTS_UNCOLLATED_COPIES -- The result will be n copies of
the first input document, followed by n copies of the second input
document, . . . followed by n copies of the last input document.
-
SEPARATE_DOCUMENTS_COLLATED_COPIES -- The result will be the first input
document, the second input document, . . . the last input document, the group
of documents being repeated n times.
IPP Compatibility: The integer value gives the IPP integer value. The
category name returned by getName()
gives the IPP attribute
name.
