Class NumberUp is an integer valued printing attribute class that specifies
the number of print-stream pages to impose upon a single side of an
instance of a selected medium. That is, if the NumberUp value is
n,
the printer must place
n print-stream pages on a single side of
an instance of the
selected medium. To accomplish this, the printer may add some sort of
translation, scaling, or rotation. This attribute primarily controls the
translation, scaling and rotation of print-stream pages.
The effect of a NumberUp attribute on a multidoc print job (a job with
multiple documents) depends on whether all the docs have the same number up
values specified or whether different docs have different number up values
specified, and on the (perhaps defaulted) value of the MultipleDocumentHandling attribute.
-
If all the docs have the same number up 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 impression will consist of nm
print-stream pages from the output document.
-
SINGLE_DOCUMENT_NEW_SHEET -- All the input docs will be combined together
into one output document. Each media impression will consist of n
print-stream pages 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 fewer than n print-stream pages
on it.
-
SEPARATE_DOCUMENTS_UNCOLLATED_COPIES -- The input docs will remain separate.
Each media impression will consist of n print-stream pages 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
impression of an input doc may have fewer than n print-stream pages on
it.
-
SEPARATE_DOCUMENTS_COLLATED_COPIES -- The input docs will remain separate.
Each media impression will consist of n print-stream pages 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
impression of an input doc may have fewer than n print-stream pages
on it.
-
SINGLE_DOCUMENT -- All the input docs will be combined together into one
output document. Each media impression will consist of ni
print-stream pages 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 number up value from the previous input doc,
the first print-stream page of the next input doc goes at the start of the
next media impression, possibly leaving fewer than the full number of
print-stream pages on the previous media impression.
-
SINGLE_DOCUMENT_NEW_SHEET -- All the input docs will be combined together
into one output document. Each media impression will consist of n
print-stream pages 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 fewer than n print-stream pages
on it.
-
SEPARATE_DOCUMENTS_UNCOLLATED_COPIES -- The input docs will remain separate.
For input doc i, each media impression will consist of
ni print-stream pages 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 impression of an input doc may have
fewer than ni print-stream pages on it.
-
SEPARATE_DOCUMENTS_COLLATED_COPIES -- The input docs will remain separate.
For input doc i, each media impression will consist of
ni print-stream pages 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 impression of an input doc may
have fewer than ni print-stream pages on it.
IPP Compatibility: The integer value gives the IPP integer value.
The category name returned by
getName() gives the IPP
attribute name.
