/**
* 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.
* <P>
* 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 {@link MultipleDocumentHandling
* MultipleDocumentHandling} attribute.
* <UL>
* <LI>
* If all the docs have the same sides value <I>n</I> specified, then any value
* of {@link MultipleDocumentHandling MultipleDocumentHandling} makes sense,
* and the printer's processing depends on the {@link MultipleDocumentHandling
* MultipleDocumentHandling} value:
* <UL>
* <LI>
* SINGLE_DOCUMENT -- All the input docs will be combined together into one
* output document. Each media sheet will consist of <I>n</I> impressions from
* the output document.
* <P>
* <LI>
* SINGLE_DOCUMENT_NEW_SHEET -- All the input docs will be combined together
* into one output document. Each media sheet will consist of <I>n</I>
* 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.
* <P>
* <LI>
* SEPARATE_DOCUMENTS_UNCOLLATED_COPIES -- The input docs will remain separate.
* Each media sheet will consist of <I>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.
* <P>
* <LI>
* SEPARATE_DOCUMENTS_COLLATED_COPIES -- The input docs will remain separate.
* Each media sheet will consist of <I>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.
* </UL>
* <P>
* <UL>
* <LI>
* SINGLE_DOCUMENT -- All the input docs will be combined together into one
* output document. Each media sheet will consist of <I>n<SUB>i</SUB></I>
* impressions from the output document, where <I>i</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.
* <P>
* <LI>
* SINGLE_DOCUMENT_NEW_SHEET -- All the input docs will be combined together
* into one output document. Each media sheet will consist of <I>n</I>
* 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.
* <P>
* <LI>
* SEPARATE_DOCUMENTS_UNCOLLATED_COPIES -- The input docs will remain separate.
* For input doc <I>i,</I> each media sheet will consist of <I>n<SUB>i</SUB></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.
* <P>
* <LI>
* SEPARATE_DOCUMENTS_COLLATED_COPIES -- The input docs will remain separate.
* For input doc <I>i,</I> each media sheet will consist of <I>n<SUB>i</SUB></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.
* </UL>
* </UL>
* <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.
