SIDES=sides-layout-value
Specifies whether your job will print on one or two sides of a sheet,
and whether it will print in tumble mode. Sides-layout-value can be:
1, ONE, or Your job is printed on one side of the sheet.
ONE_SIDED_SIMPLEX
2, TWO, or Your job is printed on both sides of a sheet.
TWO_SIDED_DUPLEX
TUMBLE or Your job is printed on both sides of the sheet,
TWO_SIDED_TUMBLE and alternating pages are rotated 180°.
ONE_SIDED_DUPLEX Your job prints on one side of the sheet.
This setting reflects the placement of
margins.
ONE_SIDED_TUMBLE Your job prints on one side of the sheet.
Alternating pages are rotated 180°. This
setting reflects the placement of margins.
TWO_SIDED_SIMPLEX Your job is printed on both sides of a sheet.
This setting does not reflect the placement of
margins.
The SIDES command is overridden if the file contains an operator that
sets the duplex value.
