+/**
+ * Class 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 SheetCollate is
+ * COLLATED, each copy of each document is printed with the print-stream sheets
+ * in sequence. When SheetCollate is 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 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 SheetCollate attribute (meaning the client
+ * cannot specify any particular sheet collation), the printer must behave as
+ * though SheetCollate were always set to COLLATED.
+ * <P>
+ * The SheetCollate attribute interacts with the {@link MultipleDocumentHandling
+ * MultipleDocumentHandling} attribute. The {@link MultipleDocumentHandling
+ * MultipleDocumentHandling} attribute describes the collation of entire
+ * documents, and the SheetCollate attribute describes the semantics of
+ * collating individual pages within a document.
+ * <P>
+ * The effect of a 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 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, . . .
+ * <P>
+ * <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, . . .
