/**

 * Class MultipleDocumentHandling is a printing attribute class, an enumeration,

 * that controls finishing operations and the placement of one or more

 * print-stream pages into impressions and onto media sheets. When the value of

 * the {@link Copies Copies} attribute exceeds 1, MultipleDocumentHandling also

 * controls the order in which the copies that result from processing the

 * documents are produced. This attribute is relevant only for a multidoc print

 * job consisting of two or more individual docs.

 * <P>

 * Briefly, MultipleDocumentHandling determines the relationship between the

 * multiple input (electronic) documents fed into a multidoc print job and the

 * output (physical) document or documents produced by the multidoc print job.

 * There are two possibilities:

 * <UL>

 * <LI>

 * The multiple input documents are combined into a single output document.

 * Finishing operations ({@link Finishings Finishings}),

 * are performed on this single output

 * document. The {@link Copies Copies} attribute tells how many copies of this

 * single output document to produce. The MultipleDocumentHandling values

 * SINGLE_DOCUMENT and SINGLE_DOCUMENT_NEW_SHEET specify two variations of

 * this  possibility.

 * <P>

 * <LI>

 * The multiple input documents remain separate output documents. Finishing

 * operations ({@link Finishings Finishings}),

 * are performed on each output document

 * separately. The {@link Copies Copies} attribute tells how many copies of each

 * separate output document to produce. The MultipleDocumentHandling values

 * SEPARATE_DOCUMENTS_UNCOLLATED_COPIES and SEPARATE_DOCUMENTS_COLLATED_COPIES

 * specify two variations of this possibility.

 * </UL>

 * <P>

 * In the detailed explanations below, if "<CODE>a</CODE>" represents an

 * instance of document data, then the result of processing the data in

 * document "<CODE>a</CODE>" is a sequence of media sheets represented by

 * "<CODE>a(*)</CODE>".

 * <P>

 * The standard MultipleDocumentHandling values are:

 * <UL>

 * <LI>

 * <A NAME="sdfi">{@link #SINGLE_DOCUMENT

 * <B>SINGLE_DOCUMENT</B>}</A>. If a print job has multiple

 * documents -- say, the document data is called <CODE>a</CODE> and

 * <CODE>b</CODE> -- then the result of processing all the document data

 * (<CODE>a</CODE> and then <CODE>b</CODE>) must be treated as a single sequence

 * of media sheets for finishing operations; that is, finishing would be

 * performed on the concatenation of the sequences <CODE>a(*),b(*)</CODE>. The

 * printer must not force the data in each document instance to be formatted

 * onto a new print-stream page, nor to start a new impression on a new media

 * sheet. If more than one copy is made, the ordering of the sets of media

 * sheets resulting from processing the document data must be

 * <CODE>a(*),b(*),a(*),b(*),...</CODE>, and the printer object must force

 * each copy (<CODE>a(*),b(*)</CODE>) to start on a new media sheet.

 * <P>

 * <LI>

 * <A NAME="sducfi">{@link #SEPARATE_DOCUMENTS_UNCOLLATED_COPIES

 * <B>SEPARATE_DOCUMENTS_UNCOLLATED_COPIES</B>}</A>. If a print job

 * has multiple documents -- say, the document data is called <CODE>a</CODE> and

 * <CODE>b</CODE> -- then the result of processing the data in each document

 * instance must be treated as a single sequence of media sheets for finishing

 * operations; that is, the sets <CODE>a(*)</CODE> and <CODE>b(*)</CODE> would

 * each be finished separately. The printer must force each copy of the result

 * of processing the data in a single document to start on a new media sheet.

 * If more than one copy is made, the ordering of the sets of media sheets

 * resulting from processing the document data must be

 * <CODE>a(*),a(*),...,b(*),b(*)...</CODE>.

 * <P>

 * <LI>

 * <A NAME="sdccfi">{@link #SEPARATE_DOCUMENTS_COLLATED_COPIES

 * <B>SEPARATE_DOCUMENTS_COLLATED_COPIES</B>}</A>. If a print job

 * has multiple documents -- say, the document data is called <CODE>a</CODE> and

 * <CODE>b</CODE> -- then the result of processing the data in each document

 * instance must be treated as a single sequence of media sheets for finishing

 * operations; that is, the sets <CODE>a(*)</CODE> and <CODE>b(*)</CODE> would

 * each be finished separately. The printer must force each copy of the result

 * of processing the data in a single document to start on a new media sheet.

 * If more than one copy is made, the ordering of the sets of media sheets

 * resulting from processing the document data must be

 * <CODE>a(*),b(*),a(*),b(*),...</CODE>.

 * <P>

 * <LI>

 * <A NAME="sdnsfi">{@link #SINGLE_DOCUMENT_NEW_SHEET

 * <B>SINGLE_DOCUMENT_NEW_SHEET</B>}</A>. Same as SINGLE_DOCUMENT,

 * except that the printer must ensure that the first impression of each

 * document instance in the job is placed on a new media sheet. This value

 * allows multiple documents to be stapled together with a single staple where

 * each document starts on a new sheet.

 * </UL>

 * <P>

 * SINGLE_DOCUMENT is the same as SEPARATE_DOCUMENTS_COLLATED_COPIES with

 * respect to ordering of print-stream pages, but not media sheet generation,

 * since SINGLE_DOCUMENT will put the first page of the next document on the

 * back side of a sheet if an odd number of pages have been produced so far

 * for the job, while SEPARATE_DOCUMENTS_COLLATED_COPIES always forces the

 * next document or document copy on to a new sheet.

 * <P>

 * In addition, if a {@link Finishings Finishings} attribute of

 * {@link Finishings#STAPLE STAPLE} is specified, then:

 * <UL>

 * <LI>

 * With SINGLE_DOCUMENT, documents <CODE>a</CODE> and <CODE>b</CODE> are

 * stapled together as a single document with no regard to new sheets.

 * <P>

 * <LI>

 * With SINGLE_DOCUMENT_NEW_SHEET, documents <CODE>a</CODE> and <CODE>b</CODE>

 * are stapled together as a single document, but document <CODE>b</CODE>

 * starts on a new sheet.

 * <P>

 * <LI>

 * With SEPARATE_DOCUMENTS_UNCOLLATED_COPIES and

 * SEPARATE_DOCUMENTS_COLLATED_COPIES, documents <CODE>a</CODE> and

 * <CODE>b</CODE> are stapled separately.

 * </UL>

 * <P>

 * <I>Note:</I> None of these values provide means to produce uncollated

 * sheets within a document, i.e., where multiple copies of sheet <I>n</I>

 * are produced before sheet <I>n</I>+1 of the same document.

 * To specify that, see the {@link SheetCollate SheetCollate} attribute.

 * <P>

 * <B>IPP Compatibility:</B> The category name returned by

 * <CODE>getName()</CODE> is the IPP attribute name.  The enumeration's

 * integer value is the IPP enum value.  The <code>toString()</code> method

 * returns the IPP string representation of the attribute value.

 * <P>
