/**
* Class {@code SheetCollate} is a printing attribute class, an enumeration,
* that specifies whether or not the media sheets of each copy of each printed
* document in a job are to be in sequence, when multiple copies of the document
* are specified by the {@link Copies Copies} attribute. When
* {@code SheetCollate} is {@code COLLATED}, each copy of each document is
* printed with the print-stream sheets in sequence. When {@code SheetCollate}
* is {@code UNCOLLATED}, each print-stream sheet is printed a number of times
* equal to the value of the {@link Copies Copies} attribute in succession. For
* example, suppose a document produces two media sheets as output,
* {@link Copies Copies} is 6, and {@code SheetCollate} is UNCOLLATED; in this
* case six copies of the first media sheet are printed followed by six copies
* of the second media sheet.
* <p>
* Whether the effect of sheet collation is achieved by placing copies of a
* document in multiple output bins or in the same output bin with
* implementation defined document separation is implementation dependent. Also
* whether it is achieved by making multiple passes over the job or by using an
* output sorter is implementation dependent.
* <p>
* If a printer does not support the {@code SheetCollate} attribute (meaning the
* client cannot specify any particular sheet collation), the printer must
* behave as though {@code SheetCollate} were always set to {@code COLLATED}.
* <p>
* The {@code SheetCollate} attribute interacts with the
* {@link MultipleDocumentHandling MultipleDocumentHandling} attribute. The
* {@link MultipleDocumentHandling MultipleDocumentHandling} attribute describes
* the collation of entire documents, and the {@code SheetCollate} attribute
* describes the semantics of collating individual pages within a document.
* <p>
* The effect of a {@code SheetCollate} attribute on a multidoc print job (a job
* with multiple documents) depends on whether all the docs have the same sheet
* collation specified or whether different docs have different sheet collations
* specified, and on the (perhaps defaulted) value of the
* {@link MultipleDocumentHandling MultipleDocumentHandling} attribute.
* <ul>
* <li>If all the docs have the same sheet collation specified, then the
* following combinations of {@code SheetCollate} and
* {@link MultipleDocumentHandling MultipleDocumentHandling} are permitted,
* and the printer reports an error when the job is submitted if any other
* combination is specified:
* <ul>
* <li>SheetCollate = COLLATED, {@link MultipleDocumentHandling
* MultipleDocumentHandling} = SINGLE_DOCUMENT -- All the input docs will be
* combined into one output document. Multiple copies of the output document
* will be produced with pages in collated order, i.e. pages 1, 2, 3, . . .,
* 1, 2, 3, . . .
* <li>SheetCollate = COLLATED, {@link MultipleDocumentHandling
* MultipleDocumentHandling} = SINGLE_DOCUMENT_NEW_SHEET -- All the input
* docs will be combined into one output document, and the first impression
* of each input doc will always start on a new media sheet. Multiple copies
* of the output document will be produced with pages in collated order,
* i.e. pages 1, 2, 3, . . ., 1, 2, 3, . . .
* <li>SheetCollate = COLLATED, {@link MultipleDocumentHandling
* MultipleDocumentHandling} = SEPARATE_DOCUMENTS_UNCOLLATED_COPIES -- Each
* input doc will remain a separate output document. Multiple copies of each
* output document (call them A, B, . . .) will be produced with each
* document's pages in collated order, but the documents themselves in
* uncollated order, i.e. pages A1, A2, A3, . . ., A1, A2, A3, . . ., B1,
* B2, B3, . . ., B1, B2, B3, . . .
* <li>SheetCollate = COLLATED, {@link MultipleDocumentHandling
* MultipleDocumentHandling} = SEPARATE_DOCUMENTS_COLLATED_COPIES -- Each
* input doc will remain a separate output document. Multiple copies of each
* output document (call them A, B, . . .) will be produced with each
* document's pages in collated order, with the documents themselves also in
* collated order, i.e. pages A1, A2, A3, . . ., B1, B2, B3, . . ., A1, A2,
* A3, . . ., B1, B2, B3, . . .
* <li>SheetCollate = UNCOLLATED, {@link MultipleDocumentHandling
* MultipleDocumentHandling} = SINGLE_DOCUMENT -- All the input docs will be
* combined into one output document. Multiple copies of the output document
* will be produced with pages in uncollated order, i.e. pages 1, 1, . . .,
* 2, 2, . . ., 3, 3, . . .
* <li>SheetCollate = UNCOLLATED, {@link MultipleDocumentHandling
* MultipleDocumentHandling} = SINGLE_DOCUMENT_NEW_SHEET -- All the input
* docs will be combined into one output document, and the first impression
* of each input doc will always start on a new media sheet. Multiple copies
* of the output document will be produced with pages in uncollated order,
* i.e. pages 1, 1, . . ., 2, 2, . . ., 3, 3, . . .
* <li>SheetCollate = UNCOLLATED, {@link MultipleDocumentHandling
* MultipleDocumentHandling} = SEPARATE_DOCUMENTS_UNCOLLATED_COPIES -- Each
* input doc will remain a separate output document. Multiple copies of each
* output document (call them A, B, . . .) will be produced with each
* document's pages in uncollated order, with the documents themselves also
* in uncollated order, i.e. pages A1, A1, . . ., A2, A2, . . ., A3, A3, . .
* ., B1, B1, . . ., B2, B2, . . ., B3, B3, . . .
* </ul>
* <li>If different docs have different sheet collations specified, then only
* one value of {@link MultipleDocumentHandling MultipleDocumentHandling} is
* permitted, and the printer reports an error when the job is submitted if
* any other value is specified:
* <ul>
* <li>{@link MultipleDocumentHandling MultipleDocumentHandling} =
* SEPARATE_DOCUMENTS_UNCOLLATED_COPIES -- Each input doc will remain a
* separate output document. Multiple copies of each output document (call
* them A, B, . . .) will be produced with each document's pages in collated
* or uncollated order as the corresponding input doc's SheetCollate
* attribute specifies, and with the documents themselves in uncollated
* order. If document A had SheetCollate = UNCOLLATED and document B had
* SheetCollate = COLLATED, the following pages would be produced: A1, A1, .
* . ., A2, A2, . . ., A3, A3, . . ., B1, B2, B3, . . ., B1, B2, B3, . . .
* </ul>
* </ul>

* <b>IPP Compatibility:</b> SheetCollate is not an IPP attribute at present.
